About the adventure

🐉The traveling extravaganza known as the Witchlight Carnival visits your world once every eight years. You have a dim memory of sneaking in as a child without paying for a ticket, but that memory has grown foggy over time. 🤡As you enjoy the attractions, you can't help but to notice something about this year's carnival is a little off, as if Misters Witch and Light have a secret they'd like to keep hidden. ⚔️Summon your inner wonder to investigate the carnival, have a delightful time, and compete to be crowned the Withclight Monarch. ⭐This officially published adventure will take your adventurer from levels 1-8. 🏳️‍🌈Beginner friendly and inclusive.

Game style

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.

Recruiting notes

Just about to crown the Witchlight Monarch and would love an additional party member to help explore the realm of Prismeer

Gameplay details

🎲You can always buy a Natural 20 on any roll for $5. 💬I like to keep my games PG-13, though there may be some adult language. 🙅‍♀️Refences of any kind to sexual assualt are not welcome. ☠️Inescapable to D&D or other fantasy settings in general, there will be violence and peril. Monsters and NPCs will be hurt or killed. Player characters might die. While descriptions will generally be mild, there will be occasionally gory details. 🙋🏿In-game disagreements amongst Elves and Dwarves can invoke real-world emotions to negative and hurtful BIPOC stereotypes. In a number of situations, I aim to positively highlight the cultural differences between in-game groups and individuals, in order to maintain a respectful experience for players of all backgrounds. While I am in no way an expert on real-world topics of racism and bigotry, I ask my players to act in good faith to avoid harmful behavior. 📗This is an officially published D&D adventure, so there won't be much to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Prior to the session, players will be asked to fill out a checklist showing what content they are or are not comfortable with; I will present the compiled (anonymous) results for the group to discuss and agree upon. Other safety tools listed below will also help to ensure everyone feels safe and has fun.

How will character creation work

1️⃣We'll create Level 1 characters and roll stats in the Discord channel leading up to the adventure. 🤔Need a hand? I'll help you navigate each step. You can also choose play one of the pre-made characters I've whipped up for this module. 🐉We use DnDBeyond for character sheets and rolls during our sessions. I have a bunch of paid content you are free to take advantage of to create your hero. 👍Send me any questions about your minmaxed race/class/background/equipment builds in Discord, where we can all share ideas.
