The Wild Beyond the WitchLight + Homebrew

Creating your character

Characters may be built with Point Buy or Rolled Stats. For rolled stats, roll two full stat arrays. Each array is made with 4d6, drop the lowest die, and reroll all 1s. After rolling both arrays, choose the one you want to use. Starting level is usually Level 1. If you join after the campaign has already started, your character may begin one level behind the current party for your first session, then catch up through play. Homebrew is welcome with approval. I love creative character ideas, but anything custom needs to be reviewed before it enters the game. Any official species and class are welcome. Fey, carnival, dream touched, spirit marked, strange travelers, sky sailors, and lost wanderers all fit especially well. Backgrounds are open. For story flavor, Feylost and Witchlight Hand are especially encouraged, but they are not required. Bring a character who has a reason to enter the carnival, follow the mystery, and work with the party. You do not need a huge backstory. A few strong details are enough.

Preparing for the session

D&DBeyond, Discord, Roll20 I love when players roll actual dice. Honesty is key

What Solmaiu brings to the table

I will provide a prepared campaign that blends The Wild Beyond the Witchlight with my homebrew world, Lumagimaya. You will get: A welcoming table for new and experienced players. A free Session 0 to build characters, connect the party, explain tools, and set expectations. A living world where your choices matter. Roleplay heavy scenes with room for creativity, humor, emotion, and weird solutions. Combat when it serves the story, with many encounters also having noncombat paths. Custom Lumagimaya lore, factions, NPCs, spirits, locations, and side quests. A Feywild carnival opening that leads into a larger magical mystery. Character hooks woven into the campaign when possible. Roll20 maps, visuals, ambience, and encounter support. D&D Beyond character sheet support. Discord voice chat for sessions. Help with character creation if you are new or returning. A DM who prefers momentum over rule arguments. I will make fair rulings, keep the game moving, and check rules after session when needed. A mix of wonder, comedy, mystery, danger, and meaningful choices. I also provide a table where creative ideas are rewarded. If you want to trick the hag, bargain with the goblin, start a performance, talk to the river, win over the cursed knight, or solve a problem in a way the book never expected, I want to hear it. This campaign will not be a strict page by page module run. The published adventure is the foundation. Lumagimaya is the soul around it. Some NPCs, locations, quests, and story beats may shift to better fit the party and the world.

Homebrew rules

Rule of Cool, with limits. Creative ideas are welcome. If something is cinematic, flavorful, and does not break the game, I will usually try to make it possible with a roll, cost, risk, or consequence. Respect the table. Characters may argue. Players should not attack each other personally. We are here to make a great story together. No murderhobo default. Combat is allowed, but not every problem is a nail. The Feywild remembers cruelty, kindness, broken promises, and clever words. Fey bargains matter. Promises, names, gifts, hospitality, debts, and thanks can carry magical weight. Choose your words carefully. Clever roleplay can replace combat. Some encounters may be solved through negotiation, performance, deception, compassion, puzzles, contests, or strange bargains. Milestone leveling. The party levels through story progress, major choices, and completed arcs, not XP math. Potions and healing as bonus actions. If healing spell is used, another leveled spell cannot be used as the action. Critical hits feel big. Max roll damage and modifiers plus a roll with modifiers. Inspiration for bold choices. I give inspiration for strong roleplay, brave decisions, great teamwork, funny moments, and character driven risks. Backstory has power. Your past may appear in the Feywild and Lumagimaya in symbolic, strange, or literal ways. Death is possible, but not cheap. The goal is adventure, not punishment. If death, curses, bargains, or transformations happen, they should matter to the story. Death Saves add narrative weight. Rules disputes stay short. We will make a ruling in the moment, keep playing, and look it up after session if needed. Homebrew must be approved. I like homebrew, but anything custom needs review before it hits the table. Tone matters. This game can be silly, heartfelt, mysterious, and dangerous. I want players who can laugh at chaos but still care when the story gets real.

How Solmaiu creates a safe table

Player safety and comfort are foundational. We will cover expectations, boundaries, and content limits during Session 0. Lines and Veils are respected, and players can pause or redirect scenes at any time using verbal check-ins or chat. Aftercare is simple and human, with space to decompress or talk things through after intense moments. Communication is open and ongoing so the table remains supportive and enjoyable for everyone.
