The Crooked Moon: Deluxe Core Box Folk Horror Roleplaying Game

Folk Horror Has Come to Your Table

Something old is stirring at the edge of the village. The harvest has gone wrong. The standing stones hum with a frequency no one wants to name. The Crooked Moon is a folk horror roleplaying game built on the Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2024 revised) ruleset — and it wears that genre's dread with full commitment. This is not epic fantasy. This is isolated farmsteads, bargains with horned things, and the slow, creeping certainty that the community you trusted has been keeping secrets. Think The Wicker Man. Think ancient rites and flickering torchlight. Think the woods at the edge of town that no one enters after dark.

What's In the Deluxe Core Box

This is a full Deluxe Core Box Set — the complete entry point for The Crooked Moon, not a supplement, not an expansion. Everything you need to begin playing is included. At the heart of the box is the deluxe hardcover core rulebook, which contains the complete rules for character creation, game mechanics, and play built on the familiar D&D 5e (2024) foundation. If your group already knows fifth edition, the mechanics will feel like coming home — but the tone, the lore, and the horrifying possibilities are entirely their own.

Beyond the rulebook, the Deluxe Core Box distinguishes itself with components that set the atmosphere before a single die is rolled. A beautiful tarot card deck — complete with guidebook and bag — offers a tactile, evocative tool for play and divination within the game's world. The Horned King dice bag and the exclusive Wicker Man sharp-edge resin dice set transform every roll into something ceremonial. These aren't afterthoughts. They are objects designed to make your table feel like the folk horror game you are actually playing.

Who Is This For?

The Crooked Moon Deluxe Core Box is the right purchase for D&D 5e players who are craving something darker, stranger, and more grounded in folk mythology than traditional high fantasy. Because it runs on the 2024 revised 5e system, players with any fifth edition experience can jump in without learning an entirely new ruleset — but the game is absolutely designed to stand alone. This is also a strong choice for Game Masters who want to bring atmospheric horror to their table with professional tools already in hand. The included dice, tarot deck, and premium packaging make this Deluxe Core Box equally compelling as a gift for the serious TTRPG player in your life.
