Lost Things Within the Witchlight (Level 0 Introductory Adventure)

About the adventure

*Like a half-forgotten dream, the Witchlight Carnival drifts into our world once every eight years, drawing folk of all ages to delight in its fey wonders. Entry without a ticket is strictly forbidden, and the consequences for trespass echo through time.* New players are welcome! You and your friends are kids who grew close over the summer. Now you must find a lost companion amidst crowds of families and fabulous games! This “session zero” adventure develops the Lost Things story hook for *The Wild Beyond the Witchlight* campaign.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players will need a microphone and headset, a Roll20 account, and a Discord user account. I recommend installing the Discord app for a smoother experience. During the game session, players can use Roll20's virtual rollers. They are also more than welcome to use their own physical dice. If players have access to the Google Chrome browser, they might optionally install the Beyond 20 extension to enable a connection between their D&D Beyond character sheet and the Roll20 virtual tabletop.

What I provide

I will be providing virtual tabletop maps, story illustrations, and full D&D Compendium access on both Roll20 and D&D Beyond. That's right, full character creation options.

Gameplay details

Establishing safety tools happens at the start of the session in dedicated Discord channels. Lines and Veils will be written to establish and handle boundaries. It is my priority that everyone feels supported, respected, and safe. As a general Code of Conduct, • Harassment of any sort is neither accepted nor tolerated. • Players being rude, disruptive, or abusive will be removed from the session.

How will character creation work

Special Level 0 kid characters will be created during the session with guidance from the DM. Players can record their choices using the virtual tabletop sheet, their own pdf, or paper at home. Kid characters will have a lot of unfilled portions of the 5e character sheet as part of the adventure.
