Preorders Now Open For The Crooked Moon

There’s an interesting 5E-compatible adventure coming to the D&D Beyond store…..it was written by the Actual Play group Legends of Avantris as their first venture into publishing D&D content. The book, adapted from their epic play session series Edge of Midnight, lets you take the world they created into your own home.

A crowdfunding campaign for The Crooked Moon was launched months ago (sorry that we completely missed it) and became the largest 5E Kickstarter to date, raising $4 million  from over 21,000 backers. If you were never told about the Kickstarter either, the book will be sold direcly through D&D Beyond store itself. Preorders opened today.

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
• Pre-order bonus exclusives
• 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 will be shipped on June 16.
