About the adventure
Welcome to the cozy autumn village of Oakrock, during its annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival! What should be a night of cider, candied apples, and fall festivities turns tense when every black cat in the village vanishes overnight. To make matters worse, a sinister, glowing sneer has been carved into the town's prize giant pumpkin. Mayor Barnaby needs a team of capable heroes to venture into the misty Whisker Woods, untangle mysterious clues, navigate an enchanted pumpkin patch puzzle, and rescue the town’s feline friends before midnight.

My inspiration comes from The Lord of the Rings, classic fantasy, and stories where characters face difficult choices. New to D&D? You’re welcome at my table! I’m happy to explain the rules and help you feel comfortable. Experienced players are welcome too, bring your creativity and wild ideas!

Homebrew rules
If you use your full action to drink or administer a potion, the healing or effect is automatically maximized instead of rolled. When a melee attack scores a critical hit and reduces a creature to 0 HP, any remaining damage can carry over to one additional creature within 5 feet of the original target.

Safety
How Jennifer creates a safe table
This is an all-ages game with approximately PG-13 content. Humor will be kept relatively clean, language and imagery will be non-explicit, and combat will be cinematic rather than graphic. I use X, N, and O cards as safety tools. You can use them during the session in the voice chat or message me privately if you prefer.
