If you’re a fan of Dungeons & Dragons actual plays, you may have heard of the long running series The Legends of Avantris. In 2023, the team behind Avantris launched a succesful Kickstarter for their first official D&D 5e supplement. Entitled The Crooked Moon, it raised a whopping $4 million from backers, with the book introducing a new folk horror setting, along with new character options, monsters, magic items and a complete campaign.

Now, The Crooked Moon is coming to D&D Beyond, marking yet another major third-party publication to land on Wizards of the Coast’s digital platform. It’s actually been parsed into three separate books: one for players, one for Dungeon Masters and a bundle that contains both books. They’ll be released on June 17th, 2025 but you can pre-order them now directly on D&D Beyond

So just what new horrors lurk in the shadow of the Crooked Moon? Below, we take a look all the details.

The covers to "The Crooked Moon" Part One and Part Two on D&D Beyond.

What Crooked Moon books on D&D Beyond?

The original Crooked Moon supplement is a single physical book that is currently available for pre-order on Backerkit (users who supported in Kickstarter have already received their copies).

The D&D Beyond version, however, has taken the book and broken it out into three separate products. It’s important to note that all use the DnD 2014 rules (although with a little work you can easily port them over to the new DnD 2024 mechanics).

It includes the following:

Lore and background information on Druskenvald
15 Subclasses
13 Species
13 Familiar companions
26 Magic Items
40 Spells

Final Thoughts

The Legends of Avantris is an incredibly influential actual play series, so it’s great to see their campaign materials reaching an even wider audience via D&D Beyond. The horror folk vibes will likely appeal to fans of Ravenloft and dark fantasy, and the art style and vibes are definitely uniquely. More importantly, it marks yet another chapter in Wizards of the Coast pushing more third-party content.

The books will be released on June 17th, 2025 but you can pre-order them now directly on D&D Beyond

Since then he’s played virtually every RPG he could get his nerdy little mitts on (including a weird Goth phase in the early 2000s when he rocked Vampire: The Masquerade pretty hard). His favorite D&D campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms and his favorite character to play was a Half-Orc Barbarian named Grug (who was unfortunately devoured by a gelatinous cube).
