Game: D&D 5e
Group type: Online via Foundry VTT (free to use)
Experience: Open to new players and experienced players alike
Location/Timezone: 6:30PM Central Standard Time
Schedule: We play every Wednesday so long as 3 out of 5 players are attending
Roles sought: Looking to add 3 players to our Wild Beyond the Witchlight game.  We're currently a little way through Chapter 2, but I plan on running the 3 new players through Chapter one before merging. 
The current party includes Aphoreat, a Level 2 Tiefling Sorlock whose emotions have been stolen, and Valliann, a Level 2 Aasimar Rogue​ whose ghostly grandfather was abducted, both things taken away to another dimension called Prismeer...

Come One, Come All! Welcome to the Witchlight Carnival(and beyond)! Come explore the delights within, but don't forget your tickets!

Our group lost two players to life/work and are in need of adventurers so they can finish the adventure. I understand coming in to a campaign a few sessions in isn't ideal, but I'd like to run the first chapter for the new players before having them meet up with the other two. That way you're not missing out on very much!

Hello, my friends! My name is Alex. This campaign is exactly my style and I am so incredibly excited to delve the feywild with you! This will be an above average experience if I can help it and I hope to make tons of friends along the way! If you're into roleplaying, jokes, subversion of expectation, mystery, whimsy, or simply "clownin' around", if you like Dimension 20 or anything Brennan Lee Mulligan or Emily Axford does, or if you're looking for a D&D game with a mix of goofy, weird, stupid, and serious with a splash of storytelling pizzazz, then this is the game for you!!!

Let me tell you a bit about myself...

I come from a writing, directing, and video production background and have been putting these skills to good use at my digital gaming table for over 2 years now. I'm hoping I can apply the skills I'm good at to provide an above average experience to new and experienced players alike. I love to get into character and on top of accents here and there, I utilize voice changer tech to add a little umph to some of the monsters and NPCs. On top of that, I have my video feed switch to show images of significant NPCs when possible, not to mention all the music I have picked out for each unique encounter. I spend time picking from backstories and integrating fun easter eggs/story content for each player.

Overall, I'm a goofy guy, looking to land a joke whenever possible, but I have a knack for narrative thread and always set out to weave an interesting tale.

Game Details and Extras

• Open to players of all experience levels.
• I lean heavily on the concept of "yes, and..." I like to go with the flow of what you're putting down and tend not to "no, but..." unless it conflicts with existing world elements...
• Wild Beyond the Witchlight is an adventure based around whimsy and roleplay. It leans heavily into solving problems with creativity rather than simply stabby slashy. That's not to say combat isn't allowed, situations always have the potential to turn grim, but even the cruelest of foes will tend to show you hospitality before raising their fists. I'm thinking it'll be 60/15/25% Roleplay/Combat/Exploration, but of course each group has the potential to sway it how they see fit.
• Our tale begins years ago when you were just a child... You visit the Witchlight Carnival the first time it comes to town. Having had something precious stolen from you, you've awaited the carnival's return in hopes that one day you'd have the chance to make yourself whole again. OR maybe more recently, you crossed paths with a retiring warlock who tasks you with a quest to locate an individual for him, which leads you back to the Witchlight...
• I'll work with you outside (and inside) of the game to build a character that fits into the setting and story line. I like to spread bits of information out across players so they can roleplay to put them together. I also like to incorporate backstory as much as I can.
• Character creation will be done on dndbeyond and you will have access to a vast majority of the sourcebook bundle to choose from, as far as races and classes go, for as long as you remain in the game. (This adventure brings us two new playable races such as a Fairy or a Harengon, a rabbitheaded humanoid. and two interesting backgrounds: the Feylost and the Witchlight Hand)
• Although I'll be running the main essence of the module, I'll be adapting bits as necessary to help with story flow, mystery, and suspense, as well as incorporating character backstory here and there.
• We will be running the official Beyond the Witchlight module with all the included maps and artwork, including a number of extra maps and NPC art I've collected or created personally... all with dynamic lighting effects, although a chunk of this campaign will be done theatre of the mind style.
• We will be using Foundry VTT for play, but you will still create characters in dndbeyond to be imported over. Foundry has outdone Roll20 in my opinion and has a large number of modules to help with combat automation, attack animations, music, sound effects, lighting effects, time tracking, etc. Additionally, there are a number of per-user settings you can customize such as choosing your own on screen 3d dice, picking animations for the summoning of your various beast or familiars, turning down the music, etc
• I have collected a large number of sound effects, music, and ambiences that I incorporate into each scene. I like to hand pick songs to accompany each unique encounter, with variations depending on possible outcomes.
• I use voices and accents to imitate various monsters and NPCs and utilize imagery in my webcam for all significant characters who have art in the book.
• Foundry has the potential to be processor intensive and a decent computer is recommended, but there are settings that can be lowered to allow for some lower end machines.
• Sessions are streamed live on Twitch and then archived on YouTube.
• $12 per session. (Sign up now and lock in this lower price. As the demand continues to grow, so will the price. I can see this being valued at $20 or more down the road.)
