The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

** There is still an opportunity to add one more player to the campaign ** Once every eight years, the fantastic Witchlight Carnival touches down on your world, bringing joy to one settlement after the next. Its owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light, know how to put on a good show. But there’s more to this magical extravaganza than meets the eye! In this monthly campaign, players will be creating Alice in Wonderland themed characters.

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Party notes

We currently have Alice in Wonderland themed characters inspired by the following: Alice, Caterpillar, Playing Card, and Jabberwocky.

Kat ran a game for us for my birthday, and it was GREAT FUN. Abides by the rule of cool in the best ways, and put up with our shenanigans with grace.

Kat is an awesome DM. Organized, creative, inclusive, and a clear communicator. I really appreciate her vibe as well as the feedback and encouragement to me as a player new to DnD. I'll be looking out for other tables of Kat's to join!

Kat is an amazing GM/storyteller! She runs an imaginative and thoughtful game that is gentle and fun. Her games are postive and cozy; I leave every game looking forward to the next session.

Kat is a phenomenal GM. She is so much fun with a great sense of humor. She does a great job world building and her voices are delightful. Kat is welcoming and great for beginners but any seasoned player will find themselves welcomed and challenged at her "table." She knows how to match the energy and skill of the players.

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a mic for Discord. Webcam is optional. A beginner level understanding of D&D 5E rules is necessary to play the game but I'm happy to help newer players learn as we go. You will need your character sheet and dice (either physical or virtual depending on your preferences).

What I provide

I will provide access to the full range of character options available on D&D Beyond as well as a private Discord server in which to play the game.

Gameplay details

Although filled with whimsy, The Wild Beyond the Witchlight also takes inspiration from dark fairy tales that border on horror. All players are required to fill out a TTRPG consent form for the campaign. Generally speaking, this campaign is meant to be played like a PG rating.
