Beginner game of Beyond the Witch Light(1ST SESSION FREE)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
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!The carnival is a gateway to a fantastic Feywild domain unlike anything found on the Material Plane. Time has not been kind to this realm, however, and dark days lie ahead unless someone can stop it. DO YOU DARE! The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adventurers from the Witchlight Carnival to Prismeer, a Feywild domain of delight, and is designed for characters of levels 1–8. A great game for beginners, newbie’s or novices as I will be helping guide and educate you on D n D when needed. Its a heavy RP game with lots of chance for character development and acting out your heroes, there’s still combat of course but it’s not a dungeon crawl. If you like the Critical Role style of play this is for you. I like to help my groups make friendships with each other so we can all be silly and have some fun. Hate Tech or Socially Anxious! I don’t like tech either so I’ve tried use the easiest ones available and that are free. Feeling anxious of meeting new people? You will be able chat to me before hand so you will know me before the game and I make sure all the groups are integrating and if you have a shy day sometimes that’s cool.

Having a wonderful time with Martin so far. I had only played DnD once almost a decade ago, and his beginner's campaign has been a great reintroduction to the game. Before the campaign even began, Martin shared his resources with the group and walked us through character creation, which resulted in a character that I have completely fallen in love with.

I was a beginner player and Martin was great at getting everyone started, while still making time for some fun. Would recommend Martin for anyone getting started, as well as further on for higher level gameplay, for anyone keen on a solid DM who balances RP and combat depending on what the player want.

Martin has been a great DM in this Strixhaven game I joined. Incredibly helpful and engaging. I joined an already in-process game and he was so helpful in getting up to speed and helping me learn the mechanics of the campaign.

Martin has been my dm for a few years now, and I can genuinely say I still love and look forward to every session I play with them. I started with him as a complete beginner and he was very patient, helpful and understanding both in game and out when building characters or just learning 'how to dnd'! Martin always encourages feedback and communication with players and the dm and always makes sure you are comfortable and happy as you can be whilst being able to fall into the brilliant world and story lines that he creates. 100% would recommend 👍👍

How to prepare
I use Session Zero to address any safety concerns the game might entail, and I am always open to being messaged privately if further concerns arise. I prefer to run a tight ship and keep the story moving, but the most important thing to me is that all my players are having fun. I will provide a Discord chat room for the game to be played and also a text chat room so you can talk to me or the rest of the party when you wish to. You will need the free link for Discord I send you and I use Owl Bear which you just need click to access for maps. The only registering is a free D n D beyond account to make your character (takes about 2 mins to do) Equipment needed. A computer or tablet, a computer will make it easier. webcam(adds more fun but you don’t have to use) and a mic.
What I provide
Custom maps and illustrations of NPCS,Monsters and Locations. Shared D n D beyond character resources. Discord chat room.

How will character creation work
Your first session is half price. You will start at lvl1 (or higher depending when you join the adventure) and make your character in DND Beyond, point buy/standard array, and I will give you a link to join my campaign. No home brew is allowed, and you’re free to use any of my shared resources on D n D Beyond to make your character and I can help guide you in the make. I will make myself available before then to help craft your character either through discord chat or a brief 1-1 free of charge pre game.
