Campaign - The Crooked Moon. A Folk Horror Campaign module from Legends of Avantris. Set in the land of Druskenvald, an afterlife shrouded in an Eldritch Mist.
Day of the Week - Tuesday or Thursday (we can discuss)
Frequency - Weekly
Time of Day & Duration - 7pm GMT+1 for approx 3 hours per session
Campaign Start Date - most likely the 28th or 30th of October but subject ot change
Application cut-off date - 10th of October (its not a first come first serve situation, I will be taking my time to form a group that meshes well together).
Campaign Length - Medium to longterm. It will always depend on the group but I’d estimate somewhere around the area of 40 sessions
Campaign Platform - The game will be played on DNDbeyond for maps and rolls as well as character sheets
Communication Platform - Discord for voice and video. My hope is to get an entire group on video, I think it makes for a more fun experience and there's less talking over each other when you can see peoples faces. BUT if the right players apply and you are not comfortable with video then I am open to doing voice only
Group Size - 4 to 5 players
Player Restrictions - Mature, 20+
Player Experience - Be comfortable and knowledageable with using dndbeyond for character sheets and you don't need to be a veteran dnd player, but you do need to know how to play your own character and have a decent grasp of the rules
GM Experience - I have been DM’ing for 2 years
Player Options - when it comes to character/class creation, we will be using The Crooked Moon content for classes, races and backgrounds. I would prefer we use as much of The Crooked Moon stuff as possible for other stuff too like spells, feats etc. but if you want to dip into other books thats fine too as long as its part of the 2024 ruleset (a number of 2014 books have been updated to be 2024 compatible so as long as it doesn’t have the “legacy” tag in dndbeyond then its generally fine)
Character Backgrounds - think of this campaign as a fresh start for your character, you had a life and now this is the beginning of your after life. With that in mind, the bulk of your character's personal progression will be done through a Crooked Moon system called “Threads of Fate.” You pick a thread that also has an associated background/feat and we both can work together to tailor your chosen thread to your character. More info will be given on this system to successful applicants. I also like this process to be collaborative, as the DM I have the “behind-the-scenes” knowledge so I can offer information and suggestions to help you make a character that you are happy with and that will fit within the realm of Druskenvald
Character Restrictions - No Silvery Barbs and no Eye Burn (The Crooked Moons version of Silvery Barbs).
Game Style - This is a Folk Horror campaign so I would like for us all to stay true to that theme. I will do my best to promote a folk horror atmosphere as we play. There will at times be descriptions of gruesome deaths as well as potentially triggering things like hangings and beheadings. Also, your characters can die, I’m not going to try and kill you every 5mins but be prepared going into this campaign, that everyone can die. What happens if your character dies......well we can discuss what comes next if that happens :D
Starting Level - level 3
What I expect from my players - To have a reasonable level of maturity regardless of age. To make a good-faith effort to participate and engage with both the DM and the other players. To be comfortable with roleplaying a character (you dont need to be a professional actor as long as you are making an effort :D) and to treat each other with respect. To have a good quality audio/video setup with a stable internet connection. To be willing to put in the time and commitment to seeing this campaign through to the end. Also, no backseating other players or my DM'ing.
What you can expect from me - I will generally stick to the 2024 rules, I may have to look things up from time to time and I may get things wrong at times, I have no issues with someone pointing that out as long as it's done respectfully. Also I do adhere to the rule of cool, sometimes I will make changes based on the situation if it makes sense. Also, I like roleplaying and Improv most of all so I will always look to resolve as much as reasonably possible within roleplay and I’m looking for players that like to do the same.
What to do - If you have read the above information and are interested, then reply to this post or with your: experience, preferred playstyle and let me know if Tuesday or Thursday works best for you or if you can do either day. I will look to set up discord voice chats with people for vibe checks in the coming days/weeks.
Teaser - “Somewhere, lost in the shrouded realms of death, lies a land of endless night where long-forgotten horrors are revealed to those who travel through the mist.
There, in a crooked house lives a Crooked Man with a crooked grin. He raises crooked arms to a Crooked Tree at the edge of midnight and hears the whispers of the Old Ones.
They speak of a beast that stalks the darkest woods and darkest hearts, a crown of horns upon its head. If you lose your way and feel a warm breath that chills you to the bone, run.
Follow the songs of harvest time, and before long, you’ll find revelry in the dancing shadows of blazing wicker. No matter your story, these lonesome, misty rails will deliver you to where the hallowed cannot save you.
Now is the time to brave the dark wood, beware the witching hour, and weave your own dreadful folktale underneath the Crooked Moon.”
After reading this it sounds amazing my discord is chappy7629. I would love to play as im also gmt so that works better XD. My playstyle tends to be quite relaxed I like to match the group energy and I have been playing for 6 years now. I can do either day
Hi! This sounds great! As my last campaign ended (I was DM) I would love to be able to partake as a player again, especially in a campaign where characters are really immersed in the land and its people!
I've just read a little about the setting. It sounds very atmospheric and grimdark. If you OK with an old Occultist speaking with a thick Celestial (Italian) accent, I'll pm you my discord.
Experience: I have two years' experience, mostly as DM for a group of friends.
Playstyle: I like a good mix of social interaction, puzzles and combat. I like challenges.
No spots have been filled yet, its not a first come first serve situation so dont worry :D. My goal is to make a group that meshes well together so I will be setting up voice chats next week pm me your discord and I'll be in touch.
Hey! This sounds really cool. I'd love to join this game. I am in GMT+2 and would be free on Tuesdays at this time. Experience: 4 years as a player and DM Playstyle: mix of exploration, combat and driven by interactions with other characters
