- Investigation rules that keep the game moving, make sure everyone can stay involved, and never punish players for taking actions.
- Over 50 monsters, including dangerous beasts, ravenous undead, sadistic demons, and cruel fey.
- Discussion on designing your own Gothic fantasy setting as a group, and common elements for it.
Beneath a Cursed Moon contains all you need to play, and is designed for 1-6 players and one game master.
