Mirage of Euphoria | D&D 2024 Festival Horror Story | Levels 1-3
A festival of joy masks a dream-born evil lurking in the shadows. Dare you uncover the secret before it consumes your mind?
About the adventure
🌙 Welcome to Alyrica, a village where the festival never ends. 🎉 💫 A dreamlike place where happiness hides a dark truth. 🌑 👁️ Something unseen pulls the strings, feeding off fear, anger, and despair. 😨 🔮 Discover a twisted world where the line between nightmare and reality is blurred. 🌫️ WHAT AWAITS YOU: 🌳 Explore Alyrica's eerie festival, a place of endless joy that feels… wrong. The villagers are too happy, their smiles too perfect, and their laughter rings hollow in the night air. 🔍 Uncover the secrets of a town trapped in a perpetual celebration, where the dead walk and reality bends to something unknowable, something ancient. 🕰️ 🌀 Engage in psychological combat and roleplay, where emotional manipulation and terrifying visions will challenge not only your characters but your own sanity. 😵💫 ❓ Decide whether to save the town from the horrors lurking in its very bones, or leave it to continue its cursed prosperity, forever caught in its endless cycle of celebration and decay. 🕳️ 🌙 Confront your own worst fears in surreal and twisted dreams, where the boundaries of the waking world and nightmares dissolve. 💭 🎭 Mirage of Euphoria will take you through sessions of psychological unraveling and mystery, as you uncover the secrets of Alyrica and its dream-ridden inhabitants. From forgotten shrines in shadowed woods to facing the dark, distorted reflections of yourself, this campaign is designed to test your characters—and you—as players. 🎮 🕯️ Every corner of the town holds a secret, and every festival mask hides a deeper story. 🎭 💀 The longer you stay, the more you’ll begin to wonder—has Alyrica always been like this? Or is there something… controlling it all? 🌫️ 🌑 A force that thrives on the hidden truths, the unspoken fears, the festering emotions of its people. 😔 🎠 Mirage of Euphoria is a journey into a broken paradise, where every perfect smile hides a story you wish you hadn’t discovered. 💔

About me
Greetings! I am James, though you can also call me Karhus. I have been DMing right after my first D&D experience as a player, once I figured out creating a world in which multiple stories can take place was to me, more rewarding than adventuring. I started playing 5E and stuck with it through the best part of 6ish years now. I prefer classical tropes, be it dragons and knights, liches and undead or Gods and their Chosens. Campaigns with a good ol' dungeon crawling and some gritty combat are my personal favourite, always with a bit of spice and fun RP. The aspect of DMing I love the most is enabling players to take any course of action they wish and see them shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. Cause and effect is the soul of TTRPGS! I've had plenty of experiences be it with veteran or new players, be it with a group of complete strangers or groups of close friends, so whichever one you are, hit me up and let's roll some dices!

Played 1 sessions
Thick accent hard to understand. Not the greatest with English. Paid for Session 0 which was like maybe 10-30 minutes of being talked at. 0 game play for session 0 which is not common, Session 0 should atleast have an intro to the setting and players introducing their characters to eachother.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be covered in Session 0 (or through a one-on-one session if you're joining the campaign later), so don't stress if it's your first time making a character! If you'd rather skip the process, pre-made characters are also available for you to choose from. Let me know if you'd like any more tweaks!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Create your Roll20 account, and join us on Discord with a mic and headphones/speakers to immerse yourself fully in the adventure. Cameras are welcome to join the fun, but they are by no means required!

Homebrew rules
Warlocks collect souls (Minor→Grand) by defeating foes, then roll a d100 to redeem one for patron‑granted rewards (powers, items, etc.) with a cooldown before the next. A Surprise Round lets the party plan, ready actions, and set initiative order together—optional, but encourages smart tactics. Falling to 0 HP triggers rising penalties (exhaustion, injury, patron fallout), and each recovery gets harder. On a natural 1 or 20, the group narrates the outcome together—making crits and fumbles memorable.
