About the adventure
Beneath the twilight’s shifting gleam, A fair return, just like a dream. The Witchlight Carnival arrives once more, Its wonders spilling through the door. With laughing masks and dancing lights, It stirs up dreams and sleepless nights. You once slipped in, a daring child, Where feyfolk grinned and shadows smiled. You lost something you can’t define, A secret buried deep in time. No one believed what you had seen, A missing truth, a fractured dream. Come one, come all — the carnival is in town, and you've received an invitation. But how long has it been since you last visited? You can’t remember… you… you can’t remember. Why can’t you remember? WHY CAN’T YOU— So come one, come all. Come enjoy the festival. Now, Mister Light and Mister Witch Appear with grins both sly and rich. Their voices rhyme, their riddles spin. The cost is paid when you walk in. A tale of wonder, loss, and lies, Where laughter hides a thousand cries. This game is built for those who seek The strange, the haunting, and the bleak. Where roleplay reigns and hearts unfold, In stories whispered, bartered, sold. So gather close and heed the call The Carnival returns to all. This adventure is a fantastical romp through the Feywild, filled with vibrant characters, riddles, and mysteries around every corner. You’ll journey into the realm of Prismeer, a once-beautiful land now ruled by a cruel coven who will stop at nothing to maintain their grip over the realm, and over you. Expect a balance of whimsical charm and creeping dread, where every choice matters and the line between ally and enemy is never quite clear. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is perfect for players who savor rich storytelling, playful mysteries, and a fairytale world where wonder and menace go hand in hand. We'll journey from level 1 to 8, weaving through riddles, roleplay, and battles where tactics, and wit, will mean the difference between victory and being trapped in the Feywild forever. Come join us in a world where nothing is quite what it seems, where laughter hides secrets, and where long-lost memories just might find their way back to you.

About me
Like many here, I’ve been immersed in the world of TTRPGs for nearly over a decade. While I love the role of Keeper, Storyteller, or MC, I’m just as comfortable donning the DM hat—especially if you don’t mind a few silly accents and my particular brand of high-pitched voices for male NPCs! When I run games online, I prefer a camera-free setup. I find this helps everyone ease into character without feeling self-conscious. I aim to create an inclusive and welcoming space, where every player can shine, from creative roleplayers to tactical combat enthusiasts. I enjoy crafting adventures that balance intense action with deep character moments, so there’s something for everyone. I’m thrilled to be meeting and DMing for new people, and I can’t wait to dive into our next adventure together!

Creating your character
For detailed character creation rules, please refer to the Discord server. Here are the key points: Starting Level: All characters will begin at level 1, setting the stage for your journey from humble beginnings to greatness. Character Creation Platform: We’ll be using Forge for character creation, which includes everything you need, from tools to fully customizable dice. Rules Options: You can choose between the 2014 or 2024 rules, but keep in mind that any option granting a free feat at the start (e.g., certain races or backgrounds) are not allowed since all characters receive a free feat at level 1. Ability Scores: You can either use point buy or roll for your stats, the choice is yours.

What Lino brings to the table
Immersive Visuals and Atmospheric Audio: With custom-crafted maps and immersive soundscapes, you’ll feel the weight of Prismeer's shadowy mysteries. Visual aids bring even the most abstract scenes to life, keeping you fully engaged with every unfolding twist and creeping revelation. Player-Centered Narrative Freedom: Your choices matter. My games are built around player decisions, creating a narrative that evolves with your actions. Whether you forge alliances or sow discord, your influence shapes the story’s path, ensuring every session feels meaningful and dynamic. Supportive and Inclusive Play Environment: Your comfort and enjoyment are my priority. With tools like Session Zero, ongoing chats before and after games, and one-on-one debriefs, I ensure everyone feels included and respected. Safety tools are in place to create a collaborative space where you can focus on the adventure without hesitation.

How Lino creates a safe table
We’ll start with session 0, where we’ll finalise the characters together. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about anything, this session is designed to help and guide you. It’s also a chance to build a connected party, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable game experience for everyone. You’ll have until the end of session zero to finalize your character, so there’s plenty of flexibility to tweak or rework your ideas. If you’d prefer, I can also provide pre-generated characters for you to use, just let me know. We’ll be using an open-door approach and incorporating aftercare into our sessions. If anything makes you uncomfortable, you can pause, step away, or message me privately. We’ll adapt the game as needed to maintain a comfortable and welcoming environment. After each session, we’ll take time to check in with everyone to make sure you’re feeling okay and address any concerns.
