About the adventure
🦋 The Witchlight Carnival, the fantastical and fun fey-themed attraction has come to visit, bringing joy and laughter to all who attend, but all is not as wonderful as it seems. The Witchlight Carnival hides a sinister secret—the price of fun is more than monetary for those who enter without a ticket. When a group of children enter the carnival without paying, they unknowingly incur the unfortunate consequences—something is taken from each of them. 🎟️ 🎠 Eight years later, the Witchlight Carnival returns, and so do the group of children, now young adults, determined to get back what was stolen from them. Unfortunately for them, accomplishing their goals is not so easy as they must travel to the Feywild, contend with the eclectic characters within, and come to realize that not all fairytales end happily ever after. 🪞 “Beyond The Witchlight: Lost Things & Found Friendships” is a reimagined version of the popular D&D module “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight” that is perfect for new and experienced players alike! With additional subplots, side quests, and some other surprises, this campaign is perfect for those who enjoy: •🎭 Thrilling and Meaningful Roleplay •⚔️ Dynamic Encounters and Combat •🧚 Interesting and Memorable Characters •✨ Strange and Wacky Magic •🎈 Laughter and Fun Some Things You Should Know: •🧸 This campaign’s prelude starts with player characters as children at Level 0 (1-2 sessions) and then ends with their characters at Level 8. • 🪁 This campaign can be done without combat, but it is highly unlikely that it will play out that way. •🦄 Roleplay is encouraged and rewarded in this campaign, and players who are new to roleplaying are more than welcome! 🩵 The Wild Beyond the Witchlight was the first module I ever ran as a DM and it is very near and dear to my heart. I’m so thrilled to DM this campaign in a way that stays loyal to the story I fell in love with while also breathing new and exciting life into it! 🩵

About me
Hello! My name is Blaine, and I've been an avid enjoyer of tabletop gaming, specifically Dungeons & Dragons 5e, for about six years. I started as a GM for a campaign with my best friends where we all learned to play together, and I have continued to share my love for D&D with other players ever since. I love teaching new players and showing them how exciting a collaborative roleplaying game can be. Regardless of their experience, I make sure my players feel included, and I strive to provide an entertaining experience that they will always remember. I run a Discord server for my players called "JustBlaine's Venture Village". The Venture Village acts as a welcoming hub for adventurers that are seeking a quest for glory, riches, or whatever shenanigans I plan to throw at them. Every player that is interested in joining one of my games is invited to the The Venture Village, so I hope to see you there!

Both character creations will be thoroughly discussed and finalized during our FREE Session 0, but players can get a head start on their grown-up characters beforehand if they’d like!⏳ Grown-up characters can be made using the following guidelines: •📜 D&DBeyond for character sheets. •🪺 Characters start at 1st Level. •🧝🏼♂️Species/Classes/Backgrounds from the 2024 PHB or other WoTC books as long as it’s the most recent version and approved by the DM. • 🎲Standard Array, Point Buy, or Rolling For Stats in the Venture Village Discord Server

Safety
How Blaine || DM of The Venture Village creates a safe table
Safety is of the utmost importance to me as a DM. I use a variety of safety tools for my games, and I discuss them thoroughly during our free Session 0: •📝 I provide a link to a Lines and Veils document. •🕰️ I always implement a short break halfway through the game. •🚪 Players are allowed to briefly step away from the game at any point with no explanation needed. •📬 Communication is very important, so my inbox is always open for my players to reach out regarding anything from character discussions to safety concerns.
