About the adventure

Your childhood memories of the fantastical Witchlight Carnival have been sullied by the knowledge of what you lost there. Now that the carnival has returned for the first time in 8 years, are you a capable enough adventurer to reclaim what you lost? Journey beyond the big top into a twisted fey realm to set things right and recover what you seek. Throughout this campaign, characters will move through the Witchlight Carnival and the fractured fey realm of Prismeer, encountering creatures both cursed and cruel. Players can expect lots of opportunity for roleplay and creative problem-solving as their characters learn what happens to lost things in the Feywild. While players of any experience level are welcome, this campaign is excellent for new players looking to learn the rules of the game. This campaign will utilize the 2014 version of D&D 5e, rather than the 2024 rules.

About me

As a heavy silence fills the room, you examine the choices laid before you. Your heart begins to race with the certainty that, after this selection, endless adventure awaits. Hello, and welcome! I am Alice (they/them), and in the 8 years that I have been DMing, I have gotten to lead players across a variety of worlds, from the stormy seas and monstrous caves of DND to the non-stop chaos of Cyberpunk's Night City. As a long-time DM and professional folklorist, I love collaborating with my players to tell epic, action-packed stories with lots of opportunity for roleplay and adventure.

Character creation

Creating your character

During our Session Zero, players will work with one another and the DM to create characters in DNDBeyond. Characters will start at Level 3, and players should plan to create characters using the 2014 5e rules (with some flexibility based on player preference and DM discretion). Because we will do character creation during Session Zero, players do not need to prepare anything ahead of time other than a DNDBeyond account.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players should have accounts for Discord and DNDBeyond. After joining the campaign, players will receive a link to the campaign's Discord server.

What Alice brings to the table

As a DM, my focus is on collaborating with my players to tell an epic story. That means lots of roleplay, dramatic music, customized visuals, and goofy voices on my end so that you have endless opportunities to explore your character and the world around them. While I am happy to teach players the rules/mechanics of DND, I am even happier to bend or break them for a good reason. Since I put overall story and player experience first, I absolutely embrace Rule of Cool!

Safety

How Alice creates a safe table

As this campaign has the potential to touch on several serious topics, please be sure to read through the content warnings carefully. We will go over safety tools together during our Session 0 and ensure that all players have the opportunity to indicate their personal boundaries.
