Bring Halloween To Your TTRPG With The Crooked Moon
Adapted from Legends of Avantris' acclaimed folk-horror actual-play series Edge of Midnight, The Crooked Moon whisks adventurers aboard the haunted Ghostlight Express before stranding them in Wickermoor Hollow, where witches, cults, and frightened townsfolk stand between them and a crooked, sneering moon threatening to crash into the world in thirteen nights. Built around superstition, ritual, social tension, and folkloric consequences, the setting offers everything groups need to weave their own dreadful folktale this Halloween, from a complete levels 1 – 13 adventure to monsters, subclasses, lineages, and mechanics that can also be incorporated into existing campaigns and seasonal one-shots.

This fall, Avantris Entertainment will release The Crooked Moon album, created with The Blasting Company, the musicians behind Over the Garden Wall, and featuring a stellar lineup of guest vocalists, including Ramin Karimloo and Jemaine Clement. The world is further brought to life through tarot cards, miniatures, maps, dice, digital integrations, and other accessories.
