I love this. And, unbeknownst to the players, it shouldn't matter at all. However, many players will be suspicious of the DM, and expect an ambush at every turn. So, when I implement this, I'll make sure to have "jump scares" of prankish carnival-goers running into the PCs, or otherwise seeming...

I've got a few more expansions and supplements that I need to look at, which I picked up when I bought the Complete DM's Bundle a few years ago, including the Witchlight Carnival Expanded (22 pages of content), Witchlight Carnival: Erdan's Homebrew (6 pages of content) and the Witchlight Beer...

So, a fast review, but it's a really short supplement. The Witchlight Carnival DM Supplement I picked this one up because the author did a post on Reddit where he made many criticisms I agreed with, and I wanted to see his further thoughts on the adventure. He's got a number of sections in...

I definitely want the fortunes to have extremely minor consequences. For instance, I'm wondering if I can come up with a list of "fortunes/benefits" for this. Like so: 01.“The breath of the forest whispers your name, leading you to a path unseen.” The next time the character is trying to find...

That's a great question. In general, I think each attraction will have a Witchlight Hand who tells the markscustomers, "Don't cheat," gives an example or two, and then leaves it at that. Some of the attractions have ordinary (chaotic neutral) goblins as attendants/referees, and those have a...

A quick scan gave me: "A boggle is born out of feelings of loneliness, materializing in a place where the Feywild touches the world in proximity to an intelligent being that feels isolated or abandoned. For example, a forsaken child might unintentionally conjure a boggle and see it as a sort of...

Last year, I picked up the DM's Bundle for WBW on DTRPG. It's got a few things to expand the Carnival, and I'm checking through them now. I should probably leave a review of the products here and on the product page as I do. Also, it's worth noting that, per the various monster books, strong...

Players do love tossing the fancy math rocks...

So, I've been prepping the last few days, putting things into a Tiddlywiki to organize my thoughts and modifications. Looking pretty good so far. In inputting the elements of the different parts of the carnival, I realized there is an eating contest in the Feasting Orchard. I missed it because...

Smart. Do what I do and go to /reddit.com/r/badlegaladvice...

I'm thinking of changing up the "Outstare the Cyclops" contest a bit. As written, you're outstaring an illusory cyclops, which is kind of boring. At the very least, if you want to stick with that, figure out who's doing the illusion, and then give them a personality. I'm a big fan of older...

... "Moist"? Like, there's off-the-mark, then out-of-the-loop (which I usually am), and then, way-out-in-the-weeds, uh, and then wherever I am...

Yeah, that's the right way to handle it IMO. I don't hate the skill/characteristic checks, but they should be the last resort. That's why I'm trying to flesh out what the players can have their characters do.

Wizard has realized that the business model let's them profit off of the labors of dedicated fans. Why not let the DMs Guild do the heavy lifting? This is the same model Chaosium is using for Call of Cthulhu -- produce the core books and let the fans write scenarios. You have to write it! If it...

Yeah, I agree with Umbran; I like it, but it's not necessary for the module to include it. Lost Things, on the other hand, is great and should have been included. It's a much stronger hook than the warlock one, IMO, and dripping with RP potential. One of my motives for expanding the Carnival is...

Thanks, I am unfamiliar with it! I've moved my discussion meandering thoughts here, as it has no place in an out-of-context thread.

Wow, I completely forgot about the eating contest. Another mainstay of carnivals. I'll have to think what they're eating. Of course, Faeries and food have implications/complications, so I'm thinking of making it pomegranates, or pomegranate pie; pomegranate seeds are what Persephone ate that...

So there are six minor attractions given, each of which is a single characteristic roll. But the point is for the carnival-goers to have fun. Almiraj Ring Toss: Dexterity check. I'm not sure how to give this more interactivity without actually having somebody try to toss a ring onto a Coke...

So, I'm a huge fan of the Feywild and faeries in general in RPGs. And hags are among my favorite villains. And The Wild Beyond the Witchlight has some really good ideas in it, and I'm looking forward to running it at my FLGS on Wednesdays from 7PM to 9PM, like I ran all of the hardcovers...
