Any comments would be welcome.

Great stuff, Raven Crowking! I particularly like your ideas to make each fey special - that's especially useful to me. I never ran fey encounters in my own game because I never quite got them - then I played in a game that had a great deal of interaction with the Seelie and Unseelie in a medieval Europe setting, and loved it.

In my own campaigns, I've taken a slightly different tack than yours. Your approach is "the stories are real," while my own approach is more along the lines of "the stories are fables, but based on real beings," which makes the fey a little less fantastical. However, I can still use a lot of your ideas.

RC, always great work here.

Excellent articles. Excellent thread in general. I had been contemplating ways of incorporating traditional fairy tales into DnD over the past few months. And magically this site just recently popped up.

Thanks for the ideas.

I've read through this entire thread and I've been reading through the colored Fairy books to get more inspiration, but there's one thing I've been puzzling over...

What happens if the PCs leave the path?

I'm about to go read your story hour to see if I can glean some more info from that, but was there something specific and sinister you had planned if they left the path, or would they simply become lost in the Other Realm without a way to get back to their own world? (not that that isn't sinister enough)

EDIT

Well, now that I've read the story hour, I can see they get wisked away and hopelessly lost. Was there a particular folk tale or myth you adapted this from, or was this your own invention for the sake of keeping the adventure moving without railroading the players?
