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 - Thursday
Frequency - Weekly
Time of Day & Duration - 7pm GMT+1 for 3-4 hours per session
Campaign Start Date - to be determined
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
Spots Available - 2/4 spots have been filled so far
Player Restrictions - Mature, 20+
Player Experience - Be comfortable and knowledgeable 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, this will be my third time dm’ing a full length campaign and I have a good grasp of the rules but I do need to look things up occasionally
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 story will be done through a Crooked Moon system called “Threads of Fate.” You pick a thread which 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. There will be a healthy amount of combat in this campaign but I want the sessions to be roleplay forward
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). 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, advice is fine if the other person wants it but I wont allow any backseating of 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 but I will always approach things in a good faith effort, I’m never trying to ruin anyone's fun and I am happy to speak to you after the session if issues ever arise. 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 pm me with your: experience, preferred playstyle and a little about yourself if you are comfortable to do so. Also your discord name
I will be setting up discord voice chats in the coming days/weeks, this is not a first come first serve situation. I am looking to build a group that will mesh well together so I am not in a rush to fill the slots.
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.”
Here are the old fears. Surrounded by looming walls of shrieking fog and forever trapped between dusk and the Witching Hour, Druskenvald is a realm made from the stuff of nightmares. Equal parts dreamland and afterlife, it beckons forth departed souls to be reborn into strange new folk that call this sinister place home. Lurking within the shadows of the night that never stops are ancient and terrible things that even the lord of the land forgot. Whether living or dead, heroic or humble, none are safe from the beasts that stalk the deepest woods and darkest hearts beneath the Crooked Moon
Hello, I am 27 years old and I have been playing dnd for about 5-6 years. I have also dm'd a little and am currently dming a campaign as well. I have been wanting to play for a little while as a player too, and this seems like a cool campaign. Most importantly the timing works for me. I am not a native english speaker, but generally speak it very well. I don't have any one preferred playstyle, I love rp, but I also love combat whenever it comes up and puzzles etc. So I am up for it all.

Hello! I'm Monkeccino!
I've been playing D&D for a little over 2 years now.
I like a good mixture of roleplay and combat (more roleplay than combat), and I like exploration when it serves a purpose outside of "cool loot".
My discord is monkeccino. Hope to hear from you soon!
