A Midsummer Night's Carnival: Adventures Beyond the Witchlight

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.

Game Details

The game will take place on the Storm Coast and use much of it's lore.
This campaign will mostly follow the The Wild Beyond the Witchlight module but will be edited by my hand to better explore player backgrounds and personalities.
Players backgrounds will be worked into the over arcing story each will have their stories explored with unique content.
Session will likely run 3-4 hours, stopping at a natural point.
Breaks will happen around the end of the 2 hour mark as long a natural stopping point can be found.
Payment: 15$ per player per session via Paypal or Venmo
Time: 12 pm CST
Expected Party Size: 4 - 6 Players.
Campaign Length : The Wild Beyond the Witchlight will take us from level 1 to about level 10. Average length for a party can take any where between 4 months of weekly sessions to up to a year. Should the party wish to stick together, we may pick up a new adventure after completing The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Required Roll20 disclaimer: This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $15 (USD) per session per player paid through Venmo. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.

About Me

You can call me CC. I began playing TTRPGs back in 2015 have been actively playing or running my own games ever since. During that time I also managed to complete a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I tend to have a stronger focus on helping players to flourish as their characters and seeing what stories they have to tell. I love seeing characters RP with both the world around them and with their fellow party members.

I am slowly building up a library within Roll20 so that players will have as much content to build up their characters as they can and will gladly take requests on things that players wish to see in games.

I don't mind running for players of any experience level. I will gladly take in players that have been playing since DnD first existed or I'll help teach players that have never rolled their dice yet. The important part is to be willing to explore the world with your group and weaving a story unique to you and your party!

Notes

Session Zero will be completely free.
Session One does not need a payment prior to session, though after the session if you wish to continue on you will need to pay that sessions fee.
For all Session after Session one payment will need to payed via paypal 24 hours before the next session.
I will be using a strike system. After 3 strikes of a player missing a payment or completely missing a session unannounced, they will be removed from the game and replaced.
For those that have something major happen and are unable to get in contact with me during the lead up to the session, it is fine to contact me after the session as long as it was something major that pulled you away. Over sleeping does not count.
Characters will be beginning level 1
Players with thought out backstories will be able to take extra proficiencies, a starting feat, and maybe some extra starting equipment.
Players will be using a stat array instead of rolling.
Stat Array: 15, 14, 13, 13, 11, 9.
There are always ways for players to earn inspiration.
