About the adventure
Each of you visited the Witchlight Carnival in your youth, but you snuck in without a ticket. As punishment, something was taken. Now for the first time in eight years, the Carnival has returned. Bound by its Fate, so have you, forming a party of incomplete souls. Perhaps some of you even know each other. While the shared memory of your experiences has grown foggy, tonight it resurfaces with near-perfect clarity, beckoning you to the ticket gate. See if this time, you can find your lost parts. This campaign will take the players through the Feywild domain of Prismeer. Time has not been kind to this realm, as you will soon come to find out. Beginner friendly and with clear level progression, this game will suit those who want either a more casual experience or are trying to learn the game.

About me
27y.o. Creative writer by trade, forever DM by passion. I got into tabletop and DnD right before starting college, then took off during my college years in the local RPG club. After graduation in 2020 and the everything that happened, having my crew of ttrpg buddies and baddies to go after kept me sane. Now I want to extend that magic to others also looking for a bit of creative release in a hectic world. I've played mostly 2014 5e and am gradually adjusting to the recent updates from 2024.

Creating your character
Players will begin at level 1, using point buy for stats, with 1 bonus feat/asi allowed, max hp. I recommend using the blank sheet generator on mythweavers.com, as sharing sheets is easier. Making an account is free. If you have a preferred sheet maker already that's perfectly fine as long as you can share it with me. Homebrew is allowed as long as it is published somewhere I can access. A pdf or website link is fine.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please message for the invite link to the discord to avoid expired links. We will be playing on Discord and Questportal, both are free to make an account for. You can also use Questportal for character sheets.
What Deja Gonsalves brings to the table
I use organized Discord servers for my campaigns, you will be able to find threads on house rules, npc trackers, book keeping, etc. easily. I use Rule of Cool and fairness, which means if you can explain your crazy plan clearly, I will try to find a way to allow it. Questportal has features such as ambient music, scene setting, dice rollers and map tools.
Homebrew rules
Free session 0! Max HP on level ups (so I can throw cooler monsters at you) Potion interactions on a Bonus Action 1 free item interaction per turn (such as switching weapons or shields) Crits or massive dmg (more than half a creature's hp) incur various debuffs (crippling, or blindness, etc) Enemies who see their numbers reduced to half or less in one round or who take massive damage will make a cha save to stay in combat vs running away I do not target animals or familiars in combat, so if you have a carriage horse or donkey carrying the party's stuff, they're sent away. Exceptions are made for enemies stealing animals without harming them, so watch out for that notorious horse thief in the village.

How Deja Gonsalves creates a safe table
Session 0 will be an open meeting to discuss hard boundaries, schedule tuning, expectations and permissions between DM and players. The main permission will be for recorded sessions. I also check in with players at the end of session to make sure everyone is enjoying the game in line with their expectations.
