A game in the D&D 5e system, led by Rayne.

In this one-shot, you play as residents of the small desert town of Moonbright Point. A few days ago, one of the local ranch owners died under mysterious circumstances. The town has been buzzing with rumors of his possible murder and tales of the werewolf that was sighted shortly after he died. For one reason or another, you’ve all been invited to the funeral. And there perhaps you’ll be able to figure who among you has fur... and blood... on your hands.

This game will be great if you like Among Us, Mice & Murder, Wild Wild West.

Players should build LVL 3 characters ahead.

  • -This game is recommended for experienced role players and those who have some experience with 5E. This game will be somewhat unusual because player vs player is allowed and rather expected. I want players to be especially conscious of making sure their fellow players are having a good time and refraining from metagaming.

  • Players should commit to having their character and backstory figured out in advance of the game. I’ll want to know how your character fits into the town and how you see the murder victim: Silvan Moonrise.

  • One of you will be a werewolf; I’ll be rolling a die to determine who it is once the table is set. Everyone who signs up to play should be prepared to add this to their character. I’ll email whoever it is separately before the game.

  • 5E | Level 3 Characters | Use either point-buy or standard array for attributes. Any class or multiclass is fine. Ancestries are limited to the “more human” ones: humans, elves, halflings, etc.

    • Build a character that is a resident of Moonbright Point. I’ll be sending out more details when the table gets booked, but feel free to lean on Wild West tropes for now.

    • Assume that as adventurers, you’ve been able to purchase any armor or standard adventuring equipment worth no more than 50gp. And any standard weapon, except for a greatsword or maul.

    • For spellcasters: assume that you have the material components needed to cast the spells you’ve chosen. If this is a consumable component worth more than 50gp, assume that you have enough for one casting.

    • Please pick one magic item or weapon of common rarity. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items
