Thank you for the feywild page! It sparked so many new ideas for me
I love your videos and hope you go far! Also as a child who grew up in Cheshire England where Delamere forest is I was especially pleased to see it mentioned (sure there maybe one elsewhere in the world I dunno but it made me connect with it - especially as a former changeling the lost storyteller!)
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Honestly - I thought I made up Delamere! But I did spend some time in Europe doing a study abroad when I was younger, I'm wondering if I just kind of mentally absorbed that name? 😂 And Changeling is actually a HUGE inspiration on my version of the feywild! I've haven't gotten the chance to play in a game of CtL yet, so I just read the books and yoink ideas to throw into the mix!
For me world building within an existing setting like Faerun made it a lot easier. You can fall back on maps, pantheon, countries, etc. if the customized stuff you are building is outgrown. My second campaign is in a new and unique world, and I let the progress of the game build the world. To be honest, ChatGPT saves me in sticky situations. "What are the names of the 8 provinces of this Empire? *rapid typing* Aldoria, Tyria, Noxara... I actually find I have lots of time as the players are trying to decide what to do to generate things like this. I rarely use straight up what I get from AI, but use it as more of an arrow to point me in a direction.
Oh yes, I definitely use name generators for EVERYTHING because that is definitely one of my weaknesses! And I agree- I think people shouldn’t be afraid to pull from existing things and piecemeal together what they’d like to see, not everything needs to be from scratch!
I made a small region and a few factions and then wait to see what they like. they didnt care about the woobie I attempted to put in their way, but the love and hate they have for the assassin they met first thing means I am going to definitely bring her back soon.
It’s really amazing to try and predict what players will be into 😂 I also love a good assassin so I can’t blame them!
I had a player write a rival into their backstory that I thought would be very casual but ended up altering certain plans to be associated with him instead because they kept blaming everything on him and his goons anyways!
Very very good advices, again, 😃 I use existing settings, save me tons of times, but I also use players inputs so they will go in and discovers only in case to case basic local stuff, low-level. But after 5 years at level 15 they usually in politics above their heads 😋😋 and everyone wants to kill them, or use them 🤣🤣 my first TPK was in the feywild 🤔 the party split, and got killed or charmed or just forgotten who they are... sad story for sure...🍗🍗 it was not call the feywild in those days 🤔🤔🧙♂🧙♂
Hahaha the feywild is definitely a dangerous place for splitting the party!
Just found your channel and have watched a few of your videos. Nice job. ❤
