RED STAR RISING (5e) CAMPAIGN CHAPTER 1 - THE DARKEST DREAM

Designed for 1st to 2nd level adventurers, The Darkest Dream is an immersive 5e adventure that thrusts your table into a roaming carnival outside a bustling town. Dark-carnival intrigue meets gothic horror across 20-36 hours of gameplay. Packed with full-color maps, cards, handouts, and more to slash GM prep.

No Ordinary Carnivalle…

On the eve of Darktide, a night whispered of only in fearful portents, the lights of the last Carnivalle flicker uncertainly in submission to the chilling Dezu’un wind. The Hanataz, a troupe of Traveling Folk often shunned for their Blood-Touched kin, have gathered outside the vibrant trade-town of Nevermore… seeking to curtain-call their season with one final performance.

But this is no ordinary show.

Whispers ripple through the tents. A gruesome murder. A rigged investigation. Town guards on edge. And now, a brood of horrors stirs in the depths of the Dark Below. As budding members of the Blue Veil - young Hanataz tasked with maintaining order - you quickly find yourselves at the center of a nightmare no illusion can conceal.

Strange symbols. Vile schemes. An ancient evil. And an ever-growing dread that the carnival itself is being hunted.
