About the adventure
Wanna play a game, little dreamer? Only two seats remain! It is no accident that you are in this place in this moment. It is the destiny of a small handful of unassuming adventurers to save the Feywild...as well as every realm connected to it, including Faerun. And you are about to find out that you are one of those few... This wild romp through the Witchlight Carnival and into the Feywild is a hand crafted adventure within the Wild Beyond the Witchlight and it centers on you. The story will be built around the backstory, motivations and secret desires of your character and come to life in a way unique to you and your party. Experience this epic setting as envisioned and personalized by a professional writer. Enter a true collaboration where the world evolves based on your character choices. Experience dramatic plot twists based on forgotten moments and connections. Your character's relationships, fears, secrets, and goals will influence every heartbeat of this collaborative story. WHAT "WRITER'S CUT" MEANS TO YOU We're creating a "theater of the mind" experience together and this distinctive "Writer's Cut" frame for the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign has been built to give you a profoundly personal story that is uniquely yours. This frame is designed to include: A DRAMATIC AND ORGANIC LAUNCH: Your story begins before this story and so does this campaign. Your start in this campaign is designed to foster deep bonds between you and your fellow party members, as well as to the world and to the story. You are not random adventurers who stumble into a challenge. You are the main characters. MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY: Your backstory is central to the campaign arc. No two campaigns I've run look alike. The overall narrative will weave around your character's narrative arc through customized content, deeply connected storylines, personalized rewards and whimsical character attention that unfolds throughout the campaign. Your story IS the story. EXPANDED CONTENT: In reconstructing the core story elements, I've built numerous additional paths and adventures that will take you far beyond the borders of the original content. You'll experience the Feywild like never before and interact with uniquely motivated NPCs, breathtaking settings and challenges built specifically to enhance YOUR story. MY TABLE Play at my table is about challenging adventures that can be resolved as easily through creative thinking as through combat. We play together to create dramatically engaging action without sacrificing the whimsy of this darkly fantastical world. You don't need to be an experienced player to join my table. I have a tested system to bring you up to speed quickly and support you until you feel confident. My proven system for organic entry for late starters guarantees a smooth entry for late joiners as well as an uninterrupted experience for established players. A truly epic adventure awaits you...

About me
Remember Max from "Where the Wild Things Are"? He's my spirit animal and I design games for all of the Max-identifying people out there. We're chronically over-scheduled, overworked and disconnected. My favorite thing, by far, is reminding people that they once played. That it was wonderful. And showing them, they can feel that again. I want to offer up worlds to those who’ve never played & those who don’t think they have the time and/or patience to play. These players want everything dramatically simplified. They came to play, not to work. This is my forte. My career has been about making corporate change easy and enjoyable. If I can do that for IT programs, I can certainly do that with games. I GM for those that didn’t realize they needed play. ***Got family and/or friends you miss hanging out with? I got you. ***Need something more novel for your date nights than dinner and a movie? I got you. ***Craving social interaction but also from the comfort of your own place? I got you. ***Have a partner who you wish would play RPGs with you? I've got you. I’ve built the process & materials I wish I’d had when I first started playing. And I've refined them by testing, listening to the feedback, & reworking them. Message me a quote that best represents you from "Where the Wild Things Are" for a super secret special custom magic item in your first campaign with me. So, Max...shall we have an adventure?

What KimPossible brings to the table
I provide my players: • A rich library of character building content on DND Beyond. • A well-balanced, encounter-rich adventure with enough role-play and connection to make players care about those encounters. • Maps, visual aids and music to provide enough sensory input to get you started, but not so much that your imagination takes a back seat. • Tokens for your characters on the battle maps to help you know where you are in game play. • Tense and exhilarating situations balanced with humor and casual moments of connection. • Personalized guidance through an adventure designed around your character's backstory and motivations. • A safe and well-paced adventure for those who are new to Role Playing Games. • Game play that prioritizes role playing and story over rules. We will abide by the rules of play as long as it is additive to game play. Please note that this is not a RAW table. • Surprises and Easter Eggs hidden throughout all of my adventures for players to find and use. (Hey, I like playing games…all kinds.)
Homebrew rules
• Gifted Crits: When you roll a critical hit or critical fail on a roll to attack, or to save against an attack or a spell, the damage is calculated by rolling regular attack damage plus adding max die damage. Example: 1d6 damage, you roll a 3, that would be calculated as 3 (rolled) +6 (max die) for a total 9 damage. • Drinking a potion counts as a bonus action. • Exceptions to rules will be made for well-designed and described moves that add excitement, humor and/or drama to the narrative, and could earn Heroic Inspiration. • Heroic inspiration may be stacked. And I give out inspiration for inspired role play, moments of self-sacrifice and clever recall/crafty use of information. Rules are super important for setting the structure to any game and I respect the importance of them. However, please note that my tables are Rule of Cool tables, not Rules as Written. When I deem that the rules as written compromise some cool player move or are generally additive to the story, I will bend the rules to accommodate the story every time.

How KimPossible creates a safe table
I take this very seriously. It's my job to ensure everyone at my table is comfortable enough to enjoy themselves. Everyone is welcome at my table, except for those who disregard the comfort and needs of others. I have a zero tolerance policy for: • Bigotry or hatred of any kind. • Any behavior that consistently compromises game play or consistently makes other players uncomfortable. Any Player versus Player encounter (combat or romance) will need to be cleared with both players and me prior to advancing in game. I will ask that everyone fill out a Consent Checklist and submit it to me at least two days prior to game play so that I can adjust any content necessary due to identified issues. We will have quick check ins at the end of each session, not only to see how the session went for everyone, but also to check in on triggering content and everyone's feeling about how it is being managed. I will ask weekly for Stars and Wishes to be posted publicly in our Discord channel or sent to me privately if preferred. My private messaging will remain open during game play and I will be encouraging everyone to message me immediately if anything, whether it is with the story, me or another player, is making them uncomfortable. I will pause game play immediately with a break in order to respond. There are many content warnings for this game, but instances are not detailed and I treat them in a very "off camera" way. I think I have captured the ones on the list below, but please, if we are ever in a place during game play where you feel triggered: - Say or text something in Discord, - Message me in Discord privately, - Or, go into the "Secret Room" provided and I will call for a break and meet you there. We will go over this in Session Zero, but the "Secret Room" is generally for secrets in game between player and the GM...or between two players. But it can be used for this as well without alerting anyone to your sensitivity. You will never be asked to explain the reason for your discomfort, only precisely what in the game caused it so that it can be avoided in the future.
