The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
A wickedly whimsical adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Once every eight years, the fantastic Witchlight Carnival touches down on your world, bringing joy to one settlement after the next. Its owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light, know how to put on a good show. But there’s more to this magical extravaganza than meets the eye!
The carnival is a gateway to a fantastic Feywild domain unlike anything found on the Material Plane. Time has not been kind to this realm, however, and dark days lie ahead unless someone can thwart the dastardly schemes of the Hourglass Coven.
The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adventurers from the Witchlight Carnival to Prismeer, a Feywild domain of delight, and is designed for characters of levels 1-8. This book comes with a poster map that shows the carnival on one side and Prismeer on the other.
Explore the Plane of Faerie in the first official D&D adventure set primarily in the Feywild.
The adventure begins on a campaign world of the DM’s choice. The Witchlight Carnival, which serves as the means by which the characters enter the Feywild, can be dropped easily into any campaign setting.
Adds two new character backgrounds: the Feylost (for characters who grew up in the Feywild) and the Witchlight Hand (for characters who work at the Witchlight Carnival).
Introduces two races-play as a fairy or as a harengon, a race of humanoid rabbits.
All encounters in the adventure include a non-combat option, allowing players to think and roleplay their way through the adventure if they wish.
Classic 1980s Dungeons & Dragons characters return, including Warduke, Strongheart, and Kelek.
On the Cover
The Witchlight Carnival has come to town! On the back cover, a displacer beast finds 8-year-old Tyler Jacobson and leads him back to the carnival, where he belongs. - Ігри
I love to think of Ravenloft and the Feywild as the two sides of Halloween. Ravenloft is the pure horror, and the Feywild is the tricks and treats. :)
I love just hearing people who love dnd, talk about dnd
It's ok everyone, he is an Archfey, so Chris Perkins will still be around for quite awhile
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket a heg
I spoke with CP at an event in PDX about two years ago. He hinted then at retirement in much the same way that he did here. I wish him all the best, and I feel blessed by his work over the course of a wonder filled career. And yet, there is a part of me that believes that the D&D community will always wish to mine further depths of this rare imagination.
Chris Perkins is a gift to the community and I do not want to imagine a future in which he is not involved in D&D in a public manner.
Well he hasn't been very public the last few years, turning over AI, not doing Lore you should know, and ending his Dice Camera Action game. Maybe if he retires from DnD development he'll be full time online running games and such, hopefully.
@@chadwickerman That would be the dream, but he has before said that when the day does come that he retires, he intends to disappear altogether and lead a quiet life.
I've been sitting here thinking about how I'd play one of these rabbit people. What would a rabbit want? Well, they usually want to get in, eat their fill, and get out before they can get caught.
That's when it hit me: my character would want to get a team together for a heist.
Chris Perkins: Time travel gets complicated in adventures
Me: *looks at Rime of the Frostmaiden, which drops the ability to time travel at the end of the module with no explanation or follow-up
Don't think, consume. Don't complain, buy. :)
I feel like more than anything, that was the book saying “go crazy if you want” to the DM.
Was also featured in Dice, Camera, Action. Which he DMed.
@@tw1zt84 Oh yeah, I mean those obelisks are popping up everywhere. Hoping for a full Forgotten Realms lore timeline reset to fix the hard to justify elements of Forgotten Realms lore
this seams to be one of the best new DM adventures outside the Startersets. you learn how to deal with complex situations such as timekeeping in a nonlinear setting while having the possibility to teach the old homebrew that states "not all encounters must be resolved with a fight" to your players, besides being taught by the adventure how to run adventures.
Whatever Chris decides to do i wish him the absolute best. The man has made some of the most beloved articles of D&D ever and I cannot praise him enough
Don’t ever say it’s over. The North Star is not allowed retirement.
He has definitely earned it.
I'm a simple man.
If you keep Christopher Perkins on my screen, I'll keep watching and sending a like!
Q: What name do you give a Rabbit Barbarian?
A: Thumper.
Literally can't wait for this to be released tomorrow
now I want a mini-Adventure about the 2 Carnivals that unite Witchlight with Van Richten's
I think it's great! The only thing I want to ask for from WOTC are some adventures that maybe start around level 5-8 and end closer to level 20.
Thank you, Chris, for your creativity, humor, and leadership. Cheers.
Always happy to see more DM aid in adventure modules. WotC could still learn a lot from the good ergonomic design of some OSR products.
I'm so excited to run something that switches between shadow and fey
Next year seems so ominous now
I hope you will be having an interview soon about Spelljammer.. ahahaha! 6 DAYS after this original post the future of d&d Spelljammer Confirmed! Perkins held up cover art of Boo! With planets in the background! I'm sooo happy!!!!
Can't wait!
Perkins is my sprint animal
When I run this I really wanna focus on the past, present, and possible future of a certain archfae and her regrets, hopes, old dreams, and past spectres she wants to put to rest so she can move on with her new life
As a DM one thing i would like is a pronunciation breakdown with the npc names I have a lot of Bobs running around faerun
It comes with one.
Agreed time travel in games is a pain in the butt.
Yay fairies, Squeee!
The Faewild on Athas is only tiny pockets of tiny Domains, it would be hard to just drop it in.
Easy. Change it.
Prismeer (where this ap takes place) is only a single feywild demesne (albeit split in 3) so that actually fits.
@@haerdalis84 No it doesn't actually fit, because the so called Domain is far larger than the Land Within the Wind. I have a feeling that WoTC has abandoned the Dark Sun Setting.
Engagement for the engagement god!
Does this mean when they redo the DMG they'll make it actually good?
"Just wait till next year"
NotLikeThis
The rabbit people are the biggest reason I have no interest in this adventure.
I guess you can omit them or replace them?
Easter related trauma?
@@20storiesunder I really dislike the trend toward anthropomorphic animal and alien PC races in D&D for a number of reasons, and each new WoTC book seems to add to the problem.
@@mrmaat I feel you.
A lot of the 3rd party stuff on kickstarter seem to have a section for anthropomorphic folks as well.
