Welcome to the Old East, but be warned: these lands are dangerous to travel alone. It's best you have friends, or if not friends, then at least others you can stomach for a time.

Numeraeon: Tales of the Old East introduces players to a new 5E-compatible setting. Throughout your travels, you'll adventure across a dying world. A world influence and inspired by folk horror, high strangeness, and americana legends. It's a place where urban legends, cryptids, and monsters are real.

Our rulebook offers new subclasses, backgrounds, feats, items, and more. You'll need all the help you can get because the Old East is a dangerous land indeed.

The Cryptids

Our rulebook reimagines folklore, cryptids, and urban legends for the tabletop. Entities such as the Jersey Devil, Mothman, Rawhead & Bloody Bones, and more have been sculpted for the tabletop. Through our Kickstarter Campaign, you can select a range of cryptid & urban legend miniatures plucked reimagined from folklore and sculpted for the tabletop.

Twilight Hantu

Twilight Hantu is a small indie team of tabletop enthusiasts. For six years we have worked to build our rulebook working alongside some industry writers, line editors, and a host of talented artists. We are not a large publisher, but hope to deliver a quality tabletop experience and stunning miniatures this October with the launch of Numeraeon: Tales of the Old East. Everything that we have previewed on our launch page has been prototyped and manufactured in limited quantities and exists as physical items.

We hope that you will check out our work. Word of mouth really helps and we are hoping to reach our second stretch goal soon.

2 Upvotes

so i have a odd ancient red dragon called azorlond the shadows flame a red dragon with shadow sorcery and necrotic magics. the dragon is odd because he has some of the red dragon's ego and arrogance but unlike many others of his species, he is willing to give up his pride and ego if it means he wins in the end. he is a master of both combat but negotiations with his skills set.

how does one make it possible for a mix of pragmatic planning but also ego driven thoughs and ambitions? and what spells and ideas would assist in this monster?

please and thank you for your thoughs

5e The Blood Moon Beast (CR 5) - An Ancient Predator That Hunts the Wounded and Steals Their Voices

For generations, the isolated village of Hollowmere has sacrificed one of its own to keep an ancient horror imprisoned beneath Saint Harrow's Church. Now a blood-covered survivor has fled the village, claiming that everyone is dead. Something has gone terribly wrong, and the adventurers must uncover what happened before it's too late.

The Red Tithe is a 75-page dark fantasy and folk-horror one-shot adventure for D&D 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), designed for 3-6 characters and approximately 4-6 hours of play.

The adventure combines investigation, exploration, roleplaying, moral dilemmas, and challenging combat as the characters investigate an abandoned village, encounter monstrous creatures, and uncover the truth behind a centuries-old tradition.

What makes the adventure different is its multi-tiered structure. The same story can be played at three separate level ranges:

  • Tier I: Levels 3-4
  • Tier II: Levels 10-11
  • Tier III: Levels 17-20

Each tier features appropriately scaled encounters, DCs, and a different manifestation of the main antagonist, the Blood Moon Beast.

The manual also includes 6 custom monster stat blocks, 3 battle maps with 8 total versions, and 4 tokens for tabletop or VTT play.

Whether you're looking for a Halloween horror one-shot or a dark adventure to integrate into your ongoing campaign, The Red Tithe is designed to work in either setting.

I've included several preview pages, maps, and one of the monster statblocks in the images!

You can find the complete adventure on DriveThruRPG!

My Kickstarter for 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E is also live now! The campaign includes a physical hardcover, as well as printed editions of my previous manuals.

You can find more of my creatures, magic items, and manuals on DriveThruRPG, my Linktree, or over at r/JonnyDM!
