About the adventure
Step into the enchanting world of the Feywild, where whimsy and wonder blend with mystery and mischief. In this campaign, players embark on a magical journey through the renowned Witchlight Carnival, a traveling spectacle of delights, before venturing into the Feywild's dreamlike realms. But all is not as it seems. Behind the glittering lights and fanciful laughter, a deeper mystery awaits—one tied to lost memories, fateful bargains, and the strange balance of power within the Feywild. What to Expect: - Explore the Witchlight Carnival, where every corner holds a secret, and surprises await at every turn. - Travel to fantastical Feywild domains, meeting quirky characters, mischievous faeries, and eccentric rulers. - Solve puzzles, navigate social encounters, and make choices that shape the fate of this enchanting realm. Themes: Whimsy, wonder, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. Tone: Lighthearted and playful with touches of intrigue and emotional depth. In The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, combat is optional, and clever thinking, role-playing, and creativity are often the keys to success. Whether you're seeking adventure, redemption, or simply a chance to revel in the fantastical, this campaign promises a magical experience unlike any other. Are you ready to step through the portal and let the Feywild's magic whisk you away? --- Please note this is a PLAY BY POST game! What is Play by Post? - Play-by-post (PbP) is a way of playing a tabletop role-playing game through written messages instead of live sessions. - Players and the GM post messages our Discord channel - Each post describes: what your character says, what they do, sometimes what they think or notice - Posts happen asynchronously - You don’t all need to be online at the same time How my Play by Post games work: - I will respond at least 3-4 times every 24 hours - Battlemaps will be provided on Roll20 - Combat is done in this order: players > monsters > players and so on (this is to keep the game moving) Why Play by Post? Play-by-post often: - has more descriptive prose - allows inner monologue and detail - feels closer to collaborative fiction - gives time to think before acting Great if you: - Have a busy schedule - Have social anxiety about voice chat - Love writing and character depth As always message me if you have any questions. I look forward to rolling with you at the table!

About me
Hi, I'm Lydia! As a child I'd always loved to role play, and the day I realized we can still role play for fun as adults was a beautiful one. I fell in love with D&D 5 years ago and have DMed for 2 years. My goal is to have epic adventures together while making sure everyone has a great time.

Creating your character
Character creation will be done on Dndbeyond before the first session - I'm here to provide any guidance. We will start at level 3. We will be using the 2024 rules. I will send a link to the campaign so you can create your character. Character Creation Rules (2024 Rules): - Level 3 - Use Standard Array or Point Buy, average HP - Use Encumbrance, Coin encumbrance - All other Character options (Class, Subclass, Background, Feats, Spells) from Player's Handbook 2024 or The Wild Beyond the Witchlight sourcebooks Only good/neutral characters please.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need free Roll20, DnDBeyond and Discord accounts. A basic knowledge of D&D rules would be great but I am happy to help.
What Lydia K brings to the table
We will use Roll20 for our virtual tabletop - this includes battlemaps, world maps, character and NPC tokens, and ambient music. I embrace the Rule of Cool - the story comes first. Overall my priority is that everyone has a great time.
