About the adventure
🎡 GAME DESCRIPTION — BEYOND THE WITCHLIGHT: LOST IN THE FEYWILD 🧚🌈🐸 [ 2024 ] Every eight years, the Witchlight Carnival reappears with no warning — a swirl of starlight, laughter, and enchantment parked just outside your world. Visitors come for the delights: candy clouds, memory mirrors, dancing shadows, and secret wishes made under cotton-candy moons. But this time… something is wrong. The magic has splintered. The masks are slipping. And someone — or something — has begun stealing more than just memories. What begins as a visit to a whimsical carnival spirals into a journey across the Feywild, a realm where emotions shape reality, time flows sideways, and beauty walks hand-in-hand with cruelty. You will step into Prismeer, a shattered Domain of Delight, once ruled by the enigmatic archfey Zybilna — now divided and decaying under the grip of a sinister coven. 📝 This campaign is a rich, roleplay-driven Play-by-Post adventure using the 2024 D&D rules, designed for players who crave expressive storytelling, emotional depth, and whimsical danger. You’ll post once or twice a day at your own pace — and slowly weave your part in a living, ever-shifting dream. 🧙 DM STYLE & PLAYER EXPERIENCE This is a collaborative, emotionally-driven Play-by-Post adventure where your characters aren’t just stat blocks — they’re the heart of the story. I post 2–3 times per day, keeping the world alive and reactive as the narrative unfolds around your choices, emotions, and growth. We’ll take time to shape your character beyond the mechanics — building their fears, dreams, and secrets into the very fabric of the Feywild. You're not just exploring this enchanted realm... it's exploring you. 🎭 What to Expect ✨ Roleplay Style — Expressive, emotional, and character-focused. Your inner voice matters. ⚔️ Combat Tone — Light and cinematic by default; tactical when it serves drama and story. 🎲 Rule of Cool — Clever, in-character ideas that create memorable moments often trump strict mechanics. 🎓 Beginner Friendly — Full support for new and returning players. No pressure, just storytelling at your pace. 🌀 Session 0 & Onboarding Before the game begins, we’ll have a guided Session 0 to get everyone comfortable, aligned, and inspired. During this session, you’ll get: 📖 Step-by-step help building your character on D&D Beyond 💡 A clear, beginner-friendly walkthrough of the 2024 D&D rules ✍️ Tips on PbP formatting, posting style, and creative engagement 🧵 Private threads for secrets, side arcs, and personal growth 🤝 Group tone check-ins, safety tools, and shared storytelling goals ✨ If you’ve ever wanted to live inside a fairytale — one shaped by dreams, shadows, and the stories you leave behind — then come join us. The Witchlight beckons.

Very welcoming DM, patient, welcoming to new players, great storyteller and above all tries to get everyone involved (Especially rp as not everyone feels comfortable doing rp).

We're having a lot of fun with DM Alex. He strikes a great balance in helping new players understand the game and still offering challenging encounters. Also his homebrew adds to an exciting story and immersive roleplay. Highly recommand to try out one of his campaigns.

I've only had one game with DM Alex, it was actioned packed 4 + hours, but on a table full to the brim with RPing PCs. A well known setting but full of homebrew surprises and options to take you in any direction. Will be signing up for his next one, great work Alex!
Character creation
Creating your character
🎭 CHARACTER CREATION You’ll begin your journey at Level 1, just before the mists open and the carnival calls. Characters can be created before Session 0, or we can build them together during onboarding — whichever you prefer. We’ll use rolled stats (method provided upon joining) to give each character a unique and flavorful foundation. Whether you’re a charming bard with a fractured past or a gloomy druid who talks to their shadow, you’ll have room to bring your concept to life. Character creation will take place on D&D Beyond, using my shared campaign link — which gives you access to all the official content I own. This makes it easy to browse options, build efficiently, and sync your sheet with the campaign. 📘 Official 5e content only (from D&D Beyond). If you have a compelling homebrew or third-party idea, feel free to ask — I’m open to creative proposals if they serve the story and stay balanced. Your character’s background, ideals, and desires will matter deeply in this campaign. Prismeer is alive — it reflects who you are. And it never forgets what you truly want.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
🧰 PLAYER PREPARATION Before the Feywild calls, there are just a few simple steps to get ready: 🗨️ Create a Discord Account This campaign is hosted on a dedicated Discord server with organized threads for in-character scenes, OOC chat, dice rolls, and private whispers. 📖 Create a D&D Beyond Account You’ll build your character using my shared campaign link. This gives you access to all official content I own and ensures your sheet stays updated and synced. 🦉 Create an Owlbear Rodeo Account (Free & Fast) We'll occasionally use Owlbear Rodeo for visuals during combat or exploration scenes. You don’t need to download anything — just make an account and you’re good to go.Everything is browser-based and beginner-friendly. ✨ If you need help setting anything up, don’t worry — I offer full support before Session 0, and we’ll walk through everything together to make sure you’re fully prepped, confident, and ready to explore the Feywild.
What DM Alex brings to the table
🧭 Flexible, Organized Play-by-Post – Designed for Busy Schedules Step into a rich, story-driven world where your imagination shapes the adventure — all on your own time. Whether you’re checking in once per day or several times throughout, the story keeps moving. 📅 Play Anytime – Post when it works for you: once or multiple times a day, on your schedule 💬 Ongoing, Organized Narrative – I maintain steady pacing with daily DM updates, structured threads, and clear prompts ✅ Join Anytime – No fixed start dates; new players can seamlessly enter the campaign at any point 🗂️ Streamlined Gameplay – Scenes, locations, and encounters are clearly organized in channels so you can jump in without confusion 🤝 Consistent DM Support – I’m active daily to respond, guide, and keep the world alive, so you’re never left waiting Whether you're in a different timezone, have a variable work schedule, or just prefer thoughtful storytelling over voice games, this format is crafted to support and engage you — reliably and at your pace. As your Dungeon Master, my goal is to create a living, breathing world where your characters matter — where the story reacts to your decisions, emotions, and wild ideas. This is a high-roleplay, story-rich campaign built around immersive storytelling, creative collaboration, and a strong emotional core. Every choice you make, every bond you build, and every truth you uncover becomes part of the world itself. 🎲 My DM Style 💫 Rule of Cool I lean into Rule of Cool over strict rules lawyering. If you come up with a bold, clever, or cinematic idea that fits your character and the moment, I’ll likely say “yes — and let’s make it awesome.” Story and style take priority over technicality. 🎭 Immersive Roleplay NPCs have distinct personalities, motives, and voices (yes — even in text!). Expect moral dilemmas, secret offers, personal stakes, and moments that spotlight your character’s voice and growth. 🧩 Puzzles & Fey Logic Expect medium-complexity puzzles, riddles, fey trickery, and strange challenges that reward creative thinking. This is the Feywild — logic is flexible, and the rules are often emotional, not mechanical. ⚔️ Combat that Moves the Story Combat is tactical when it matters, but always driven by the narrative. I keep fights cinematic, fast-paced (with initiative blocks), and responsive to your creative solutions. 🌈 A Living, Reactive World The world doesn’t wait for you — it reacts. What you do will change the story. Allies can become enemies. Forgotten memories might return. And bargains made in haste may shape your future. 🎓 Full Support for All Players I provide formatting help, post feedback, and onboarding for everything — from character creation to PbP posting style. Whether you're new to D&D or a veteran, you'll always feel guided and supported. In this game, your choices shape the world. Your story matters. And the only limit is your imagination (and maybe the occasional faerie curse).

Safety
How DM Alex creates a safe table
🛡️ SAFETY & CONSENT TOOLS Creating a safe, inclusive, and emotionally respectful space is a top priority — especially in a roleplay-heavy, character-driven campaign like this. The Feywild may be unpredictable, but your experience as a player will never be. We’ll cover all safety tools and boundaries during Session 0, before the story begins. Here's how it works: 🌀 In Session 0, We Will: ✅ Review a Lines & Veils document (a tool to define hard limits and fade-to-black topics) — everyone can add or adjust this privately or anonymously. 📫 Set up digital X, N, and O tools (via message, emoji reactions, or private DMs) so you can flag discomfort, slow down scenes, or give enthusiastic consent in real time. 🤝 Discuss comfort levels, tone preferences, and emotional boundaries as a group — including how we want to handle topics like horror, romance, memory loss, and moral dilemmas. 🧵 Establish private player threads for any out-of-character check-ins, feedback, or emotional debriefing (aftercare) following heavy or intense scenes. 🔄 Ongoing Support You can always message me privately if something doesn’t feel right, even after the scene has passed. I’ll check in occasionally with players after major events or intense scenes — especially if your character goes through something emotional or dark. Respect for players always comes before story — no exceptions. The Feywild may twist dreams and bend emotions, but your boundaries will always be honored. We’re here to tell an unforgettable story — and that only works when everyone feels seen, heard, and safe.
