The Crooked Moon, a folk-horror setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, achieved significant crowdfunding success, raising over $4 million. Lead writer Mikey Gilder shares insights on two new species, the harvestborn and plagueborn. Harvestborn are constructs embodying agricultural themes, while plagueborn represent illness and the Dark Ages. Both species reflect the campaign's eerie atmosphere and unique gameplay mechanics, enhancing the immersive experience for players ahead of its release on June 16 on D&D Beyond.
The harvestborn, crafted to tend to farmlands, introduces necromancy elements, embodying themes of agriculture and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in Crooked Moon.
The ratlike plagueborn species encapsulates plague and Dark Ages themes, providing Dungeons & Dragons players with unique experiences reflective of the folk-horror genre.
