Dungeons & Dragons Integrates The Crooked Moon into D&D Beyond
In a move to further enhance its digital ecosystem, Dungeons & Dragons has announced the integration of The Crooked Moon, a folk-horror setting and adventure, into its D&D Beyond platform. This latest addition follows the incorporation of Ruins of Symbaroum and Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting, demonstrating the company’s commitment to providing a comprehensive and immersive experience for Dungeon Masters and players alike.
According to a report from Polygon, the Crooked Moon project is an ambitious undertaking that includes a 350-page adventure taking characters from levels 1 to 13 in the spooky world of Wickermoor Hollow. The campaign features 85 folklore-inspired monsters and rules for multiphase boss fights with their own minions and terrain.

Players can also expect a range of new subclasses and species to enhance their gameplay experience. For example, a ranger can become a Grim Harbringer, a warlock can choose the Horned King as a patron, and players can opt for a pumpkin-headed Harvestborn or a rat-like Plagueborn. Additionally, there are rules for new spells, rituals, and items, plus Fateweaving, a system to bind characters together and link them to folklore. As Polygon reports, "Players can also embrace the horror with plenty of new subclasses and species."
The integration of The Crooked Moon into D&D Beyond is part of a broader effort to bring third-party content into the platform. This move aims to make it easier for Dungeon Masters to manage their campaigns and allow players to incorporate unofficial classes, feats, and spells into their virtual character sheets. As Polygon notes, "Dungeons & Dragons has been working to integrate some of the biggest third-party publishers of 5E content into its D&D Beyond digital ecosystem."
For those who prefer a physical copy of the book, preorders are available at thecrookedmoon.com, with fulfillment expected this fall, when the books will also be available at retail.
