About the adventure
The Witchlight Carnival already changed you. Prismeer left marks behind. Now the story turns toward unfinished business, old scars, and the paths your characters choose before something far worse arrives. • Backstory missions take center stage Old debts. lost family. strange bargains coming back around • The Feywild still lingers Fairy magic twists things long after the carnival ends • Something bigger moves in the background Whispers of missing relics. broken secrets. a name people fear to say out loud • The road keeps widening Other planes. dangerous allies. choices that start getting heavy • Vecna waits ahead Not yet. But the shadow is there This is the stretch before the storm. Your characters decide who they become before the world starts breaking apart. [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] -------------------------- 📣See what Erin has to say about my DM'ing: ⭐"Leland is a fantastic DM. They're enthusiastic about every game they run and clearly want every single one of their players to enjoy their time with him and experience a successful campaign. I initially played Monster of the Week with him as a way to dip back into playing with a group and eventually played (and am currently playing in) my first DnD campaign with Leland as DM. He's patient and encourages questions and all the silliness that comes with role-playing games. You genuinely couldn't ask for a better DM!"

About me
Hey everyone, I’m Leland. Some of y’all probably know me online as Leopold the Just. I’ve been obsessed with tabletop RPGs since the early 2000s and somehow still love this hobby just as much now as I did back then. Outside of GMing, I’m usually at concerts, playing board games, getting lost in strategy games and RPGs, camping, traveling, trying good food, wandering through museums and aquariums, or planning my next tattoo. As a GM, I lean hard into strange mysteries, creepy places, emotional roleplay, and NPCs that stick with people long after the session ends. Some games feel cozy. Some feel awful in the best way possible. Sometimes both happen in the same night. If you like character-driven stories and worlds that react to what you do, you’ll probably fit in just fine at my table. --- What to expect at my table and in the community: • Story-first sessions with a big focus on character growth and roleplay • Fast, cinematic combat that stays tense and easy to picture • A world that reacts to what you say and do • Group storytelling and shared worldbuilding where your choices leave marks behind • A relaxed, inclusive space where people can show up as themselves • $5 community one-shots for active members that mix players from different campaigns together • Community hangouts outside the games too: video game streams, board game nights, watch parties, and more! So pull up a virtual chair and let’s tell some stories together!

Creating your character
We will create characters together during s0! If you join after s0, then I (the DM) will send you the character creation parameters via discord and discuss things with you before you begin the process.

How Leland House Jr. creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
