The Crooked Moon Now Available At D&D Beyond | popgeeks.com
The Crooked Moon, a 5E-compatible folk-horror adventure written by the Actual Play group Legends of Avantris, has come to the D&D Beyond store. This is the team’s first venture into publishing official D&D content, adapted from their epic play session series Edge of Midnight. Crooked Moon was written for the new fifth edition 2024 core rules, but is fully compatible with 2014 content.
A crowdfunding campaign for The Crooked Moon was launched months ago and became the largest 5E Kickstarter to date, raising $4 million from over 21,000 backers. These backers were the first to receive copies, but it’s now become open for purchase…well, half-open. For the first few months of its existence, the book will be sold directly through the D&D Beyond store itself and nowhere else.
The Crooked Moon is a 600+ page folk-horror setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition that casts players into the sun-starved realm of Druskenvald. Adapted from Legends of Avantris’ acclaimed folk‑horror actual‑play series Edge of Midnight, The Crooked Moon, written for the new fifth edition 2024 core rules, and fully compatible with your 2014 content, brings the folk‑horror genre into 5E, replacing routine dungeon crawls with tales driven by superstition, social tension, and ritual.
Here’s what you get inside:
- 350‑page adventure path set in Wickermoor Hollow (levels 1‑13)
- 15 folk‑horror subclasses, 13 lineages, new spells, rituals, items, and Fateweaving rules that bind characters to folkloric consequences
- 85 folkloric monsters plus 11 multi‑phase boss fights
- And more!
The Crooked Moon is a two-volume set…Part 1 is the player options and setting guide while Part 2 contains the bestiary, treasury and adventure campaign. While they can be ordered separately, it’d make more sense to get both. The bundle costs $69.99 and is available starting this week at the D&D Beyond store. Physical editions will ship to local game stores this fall.
