About the adventure
This game is great for those looking to explore the feywild and the tricksy nature that only the fey can bring. Full of fantastical creatures and daring horrors alike, chill your spine and warm your heart with the large variety of NPCs this world has to offer! This campaign will take the story of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and expand so much more upon it; even those who have played the base module will have a refreshing time in this mystical setting~ Expect to see backstory integration for each character, apt cause for adventure, and hilarious interactions only the feywild can bring. This campaign is great for both new players and veterans alike in a weekly campaign setting where you can battle and roleplay with known or new friends! This game will primarily run through a roll20 and a discord server; accounts to both will be required in order to sit at this table. If you do not have one and would like assistance learning this app, don't be afraid to message for help!

About me
Hi there! I'm a long term Dungeon Master, Player, and Artist with a decade of experience in the Dungeon and Dragons setting and even longer drawing characters. My love of DnD came from a wonderful friend in college who taught me with patience, and I'd love to do the same for you! My tables are beginner and veteran friendly alike, and I strive to do my best to intertwine every character into my stories~ My aim is to make an inclusive, welcoming environment where everyone can have fun! While I specialize in fey and horror campaigns like Wild Beyond the Witchlight or Curse of Strahd, I'm more than happy to customize just about anything to give everyone a wonderful story that will take you from your mundane world and into the world of fantasy. Want a custom character? I can draw it! A scene that made your day in the campaign, I can make it come to life both in the game and as art outside of the session. I do my best to immerse each player in a rich diversity of personality, environments, and descriptions to create a sense of immersion that make it easy to put yourself into scene and battle alike. Hop along for a safe and memorable gaming experience, and I'll tell you the only limit holding you back is your imagination! (And perhaps a BBEG or two)

Creating your character
Players should have a rough idea of a character they want to play going into session. This campaign will start at level 1 and build up to roughly 8-10 depending on party and actions in this milestone campaign. Anything from official content for race, class, or background is allowed to be utilized, with the caveat to please check out Witchlight specific races and backgrounds to see if they would fit well to the character you'd like to build. Stats will be decided by Point Buy.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have accounts on both Discord and Roll20. If you are already familiar with Discord, please reach out and message me there @mysterymusix ! No other programs will be needed; everything else will be handled on my own end.
What MysteryMusix brings to the table
I adapt my games to what the characters desire; I'm a big advocator for the Rule of Cool as long as you can convince me that it is feasibly something your character can do! Just be aware, if your character can do it, the enemies may learn and adapt from example~ In my active tables I love utilizing ambient music, noise, art, and voices to help immerse my players into the story. A spooky howl may reward those that pay attention, crescendoing music builds tension; while our bodies are in front of our screens I love being able to bring people's minds to a new world entirely! This setting and my table bring a healthy mix of both roleplay and battle to the frontline: There are so many unique and complicated NPCs to interact with here; but true to a feywildian setting, not all are friendly. Fight or Flight? Speak or Stab? The balance may tip in one direction or the other depending on the party; but generally I try to be in the middle for most of my tables.
Homebrew rules
- Flanking is allowed - Potion usage is a bonus action - Nat 20's will result in double dice - Many monsters may not appear as portrayed; many are edited per module as I do homebrew some aspects in campaigns to fill gaps. Please keep this in mind during sessions.

Safety
How MysteryMusix creates a safe table
I run two primary methods of safety tools to help keep players comfortable; Character Consent Forms and Fade to Black A short survey will be sent to each player before session's start to gain insight into their acceptable topics and no-go zones in order to avoid surprise negative experiences. Each survey will be anonymous, and no-go zones will be expressed beforehand as a group to keep everyone knowledgeable where party boundaries lie. While this survey will go over most commonly problematic subjects, it is not all inclusive, and thus to our next tool. Fade to Black is a phrase that can be used at any time during a campaign for any pop up subjects that may cause discomfort for an individual. Example: A scene becomes too descriptive in terms of body horror. Requesting Fade to Black will immediately end the full description of such a topic and keep it to vague bullet points of what is happening in the scene without ample description.
