About the adventure
Westerburg, Ohio, days before Halloween 1983. You know something very few others do: that magic exists. Eight years ago, you visited the enchanted Witchlight Carnival and saw wonderous, impossible things. There, you lost something precious shortly before the carnival disappeared from the Earth. Now, tonight, it's returned to the outskirts of this middle-American town, and you're determined to find what you've lost. At a far corner of the carnival, the Dungeons & Dragons Ride lies waiting to spirit you away to a land of wonder and danger. ---- Howdy! Witchlight 1983 is my riff on the Feywild adventure "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" mashed up with the 80's Dungeons & Dragons cartoon and infused with synthwave and sass.

About me
I'm Adam (he/him, 🏳️🌈), and I try to run the sort of games I want to play in. I don't enable "Instant Booking" on my campaigns: if you're part of one of my tables, I'm not going to spring an unvetted new player on you. I'll run any potential new players by the group to get a sense of whether it's a good fit. My players' characters pretty much live in my head. I spend a lot of time thinking about their stories, about how to make backstories campaign-relevant, and strategizing how to provide satisfying challenges for them. I play the long game and I'm all about the little details, leaving both clues and little jokes for observant players to notice. I also know to check my privilege because I'm white and cisgender-male. I'm a cat dad, and you may see my Purrtato's tail on-cam from time to time. I moved to the west coast years ago, where I found my community through running D&D games. I didn't know I had a talent for voices until I started playing D&D 3.5 and felt emboldened by another shameless roleplayer at the table. I'd love to give other people a platform for finding and using their voices.

Creating your character
This table isn't really open. This listing is still up in case a delightful former player ever decides to rejoin.
We're nearing the end of this campaign, so this game won't be accepting new players. However, if you're a returning player, we'd love to have you join us for this last arc. Level 10, and let's work together on what magic items you might have access to.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone, headphones, and Internet connection, as well as accounts with D&D Beyond and Roll20. Please install the Beyond20 Chrome extension, which connects the two systems, before we begin. If you have the option to appear on-camera and you feel safe doing so, please do. If you don't for whatever reason, you're still welcome to join the campaign, no questions asked. I keep a content safety form here, and I'm open to discussing any boundaries or concerns: https://shorturl.at/RWj2h
