Gestalt | WILD BEYOND THE WITCHLIGHT
About the adventure
Newbies Welcome! Wild Beyond The Witchlight adventure is a portal to the feywild. A different plane of existence that mirrors ours. A world that reflects our state of mind and our values but in ways you wouldn’t comprehend. Gold becomes worthless instead being replaced by items of sentimental value. The ecosystem hinges on the emotions of devastatingly powerful creatures. The water flows backwards, the trees talk, the mountains walk, the people live in fear of their new rulers. The Witchlight Carnival stole something special from you that you had completely forgot about. Perhaps it was your ability to paint, maybe a family heirloom, mayhaps someone dear to you. Whatever it was, the pain of your loss strikes you as if it happened yesterday. Now the Witchlight Carnival has landed once again, it is up to you to find what was once lost, and uncover deep dark secrets along the way. A Little About me: I love teaching and building up confidence in others. With a background in tutoring I’m no stranger to helping people every step of the way.

About me
I’m a GM A Gm that is passionate. A Gm that works hard. A Gm that loves his players. A GM that rewards earnest roleplaying. A GM that never judges. A GM that makes mistakes. A GM that is goofy. A GM that is different. A GM that wants to learn. A GM that has thick skin. And I will never give up until I’ve accomplished my dream of working full-time. DND brings me life. Brings me joy. Brings me friends. Brings me advice. Brings me knowledge. Brings me confidence. Brings me love. Brings me fear. I've made mistakes. I’ve made ruling errors. I’ve made boring sessions. I’ve been way over my head. I’ve given up so many times. And I've never forgotten the experience. Join me, sail the open seas of Vodari, discover new worlds and battle endless hordes of enemies. Or perhaps rediscover your childlike wonder in my Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure. Let me be your GM and give you the same experience I had growing as a player. DND is for everybody after all. Thank you for reading.

Does a great job setting rules and working with players. Adjusts rules as needed and is more than happy to sit back and let RP between players happen as needed. does a good job fitting the tone of the game to the dynamics of the players. Also, willing to do Rule of Cool, and lets flavor cantrips be powerful in interesting ways, such as allowing for an intelligence-based medicine check when using a cantrip to try and stop a wound from bleeding.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing in Esdras's Into the Witchlight campaign for 4 sessions, and I can't recommend this DM highly enough. From the start, Esdras has brought such a positive attitude and openness to our ideas, really making it feel like a collaborative and inclusive experience. As a DM he's always welcoming to creative player choices, which makes the game feel even more dynamic and personal. One of the things I absolutely love about their DMing is how they capture the whimsical and lighthearted tone of the Feywild. The challenges of the story and especially the mini-games sprinkled throughout the sessions are a delightful surprise. The campaign is unexpectedly fun and full of charm, adding a lot to the immersion of the world. It’s a perfect fit for my first time experiencing the Feywild. Perfectly captures that playful and vibrant vibe. Also important to note is that, despite having a group of players who already knew each other and had their own dynamics, Esdras handles the group seamlessly. His prep work is clearly thorough, and they take pride in ensuring everything is ready for each session, while also being flexible and open to where the story and our characters take us. Overall, this DM is a chill, creative, and incredibly talented person who elevates every session. Whether you're a veteran player or new to the world of D&D, I highly recommend sitting at their table for an unforgettable experience!

Safety
How Esdras creates a safe table
During session 0 we'll go over character creation. We'll discuss any potential triggers and take breaks during the session and do quick check to see if everyone is alright. After the session is over we discuss what went right in the session and what we could see more of. This is called a Star and Wishes moment.
