About the adventure
Once every eight years, the fantastic Witchlight Carnival touches down on your world, bringing joy to one settlement after the next. Its owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light, know how to put on a good show. But there’s more to this magical extravaganza than meets the eye! The carnival is a gateway to a fantastic Feywild domain unlike anything found on the Material Plane. Time has not been kind to this realm, however, and dark days lie ahead unless someone can thwart the dastardly schemes of the Hourglass Coven.

About me
Hey there! I’m Miles, a longtime D&D enthusiast with about 8 years of adventuring under my belt and 2 years behind the DM screen. I’ve run everything from one-shots inspired by Candlekeep Mysteries and Keys from the Golden Vault to longer, story-rich campaigns like The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I also love mixing things up with a bit of homebrew, adding unexpected twists and personal flair to keep every table feeling fresh. Whether you’re here for epic stories, clever heists, or a little magical chaos, I’ve got you covered. New players are always welcome at my table. I enjoy teaching the rules in a clear, supportive way while keeping the game moving and engaging. Expect collaborative storytelling, character-driven moments, and the occasional bit of delightful chaos that keeps every session exciting and unpredictable.

Creating your character
Character creation will be through D&D beyond. I will guide everyone through this in the session zero. Stats will be rolled and you should draw from any of the 2014 core rules or official extended materials.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using D&D beyond for character sheets, Roll20 for the virtual tabletop, and discord for the voice chat, so players will need accounts for each of these. Players will also need to download the Beyond 20 browser extension. We will be using the ruleset for the 2014 version of D&D 5E. All of this can be explained upon joining the discord server! You will also need a working microphone, a stable internet connection and a laptop/computer. Webcam use is encouraged but not required.
What Miles brings to the table
I use light ambient music to help set the mood throughout the game. I aim to create a relaxed environment where creativity is encouraged and new players are supported.
Homebrew rules
Potions: Potions cost a bonus action to use, but using a full action to use a potion will the full HP possible for that potion. Critical Hits: Rolling a "critical hit" (a natural 20 on an attack roll) will do full possible damage plus rolled damage. This is to make sure that crits are always rewarded. Death Saving Throws: Death save throws will be rolled "behind the screen", meaning that only the Game Master and the player making the roll will know if the roll was a success or failure. This is to bring an extra layer of tension and realism to combat

How Miles creates a safe table
A link to a lines and veils document will be in the discord server and reviewed as a group in a session zero. If something during play becomes uncomfortable, players are welcome to message me privately or step away. We will also take a break half way through each session.
