The Crooked Moon: Core Box Folk Horror Roleplaying Game

Folk Horror Comes to the Table

The Crooked Moon is a folk horror tabletop roleplaying game from Avantris Entertainment that draws players into the damp, unsettling world of rural dread — where ancient customs run deeper than law, where the treeline hides things that predate memory, and where community and menace are two faces of the same worn coin. This is not a game of dungeons and dragons and chosen heroes. This is a game of flickering lanterns, whispered warnings, and the creeping suspicion that the festival your characters have stumbled into is not what it seems. If you love the atmospheric disquiet of films like The Wicker Man, Midsommar, or Apostle, The Crooked Moon was built for the table you want to gather around.

What's in the Core Box

The Core Box is the complete, self-contained entry point into The Crooked Moon — everything you need to run and play the game is included. Expect full rules for character creation, the game's core resolution mechanics, guidance for the person running the game, and the tools needed to build and populate folk horror scenarios rooted in rural mystery and communal unease. The Core Box format suggests a curated set of components designed to get a group playing quickly without additional purchases.

This copy remains in its original shrink wrap, with a minor tear along one box edge as pictured — the contents are sealed and untouched. For collectors or players who prefer their games unplayed, this is as close to factory fresh as a pre-owned copy gets.

Who This Is For

The Crooked Moon is aimed at players and Game Masters who want horror with roots — horror that feels earned and human rather than monstrous and loud. It suits groups already comfortable with narrative-first, atmosphere-heavy RPG experiences, and it makes an excellent pick for horror fans making the leap from video games or film into tabletop roleplaying. As a standalone Core Box, no additional purchases are required to begin play. Gather three to five players, dim the lights, and let the village keep its secrets a little longer.
