About the adventure

The Feywild calls, a realm where whimsy hides danger, and wonder veils treachery. The Witchlight Carnival has returned, and with it, a gateway to enchantment. Yet, beneath the laughter and dazzling lights lies a story of stolen memories, broken promises, and twisted fates. Can you navigate the mischief of the Fey, uncover the secrets of Prismeer, and restore balance to a realm on the edge of chaos? Or will you become just another lost soul in their endless game? This is a whimsical adventure where danger lurks beneath the surface, and Fey trickery is never far behind. Perfect for players who love mystery, charm, and the challenge of outwitting cunning creatures. Details: 🎲 Starting Level: 1 📚 Sources: All D&D Beyond books, 2024 PHB, homebrew on a case-by-case basis. ⚖️ Tone: Whimsy, hidden danger, Fey trickery. Step lightly—everything in the Feywild has a price.

Game style

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.

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.

Anya is great fun. The few sessions we've had (5 i think) have been wonderful. A great mix of action, story and free exploration. If you're looking for a game to sink your teeth into, check out one of hers... (Saturday RotFM needs a healer lmao)

She let me bring a totally off-theme character and still made it work like a pro. Smooth storytelling, quick thinking, and totally cool with creative chaos. Would derail her plot again in a heartbeat!

Gameplay details

- Monte Cook RPG Checklist: I’ll send a link to the checklist before the game starts. - Session 0: This is where we’ll talk about expectations, boundaries, and anything that could potentially make the game uncomfortable. We'll also cover character creation here too and a mini encounter/role-play session to give you a taste how I run my games. - Open Door Policy: If at any point during the game you’re feeling uncomfortable, you can speak up (either out loud, or via dm to me direct) — whether it’s in the middle of a session or after. - Stars and Wishes: After each session, I’ll check in with the group using Stars and Wishes. We’ll go over what everyone enjoyed (the “stars”) and what they’d like to see more of or change (the “wishes”). This keeps the game evolving based on what works for you all.
