About the adventure
You and your companions stumble upon a village hidden deep in the woods. It’s full of quaint little houses, interesting customs, and friendly, welcoming, charming people. (They love visitors!) And - how lucky can you get? You’ve arrived just in time for their annual spring festival! 🌸 Celebrate the turn of the seasons! 🌸 Participate in festive games! 🌸 Appease the dark, ravenous spirits of the forest! 🌸 Sample local cuisine! “The Spring Festival” is an original, single-session folk horror adventure, perfect for a quick D&D fix or testing out a new character without a long commitment!
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.

What I provide
The original story, the maps, the music, the sourcebooks, and the lovingly-crafted spookiness.
Gameplay details
The spookiness level of this adventure is 3 out of 5 - expect an overall unsettling vibe, some gruesome descriptions, and creepy art. Please see the content warnings and let me know if you have any specific phobias or triggers. I'll discuss safety tools before we begin our game.

How will character creation work
We'll be using 2024 rules, backgrounds and classes, but legacy subclasses and species are permitted. Since this is a one-shot, we’ll do ongoing session zero/character creation in discord chat. That way you can plan with your fellow adventurers and get help and feedback from me whenever you have time before the game starts. I can also give you a premade character if you would prefer. Once you sign up for the game, you’ll get a link to my D&DBeyond Campaign page, giving you access to my sourcebooks to build your character. Starting Level: 5 Creation Method: Standard Array
