The Weird Beyond the Witchlight

# The Weird Beyond the Witchlight

Step right up! Step right up!

Step into a carnival that shouldn't exist: a place where wonder and horror dance hand in hand, where every jest conceals a blade, and every song carries a curse. This isn't the whimsical Feywild you've heard tales of. This is Grimm's Fairytales filtered through the prism of Heckna's twisted humour and Ravenloft's creeping dread. Experience Wild Beyond the Witchlight reimagined as an Alice in Wonderland-meets-Pan's Labyrinth journey into a realm where the beautiful is terrifying, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.

KEY CHANGES

  • Level 0 Introduction: Play your characters as children at Waterdeep's Blackstaff Tower, experience the Witchlight carnival before its dark turn, and return years later to seek what was once lost.
  • Twisted Carnival Expanded: Navigate a carnival filled with both enchanting attractions and genuine horrors, where NPCs wear false smiles hiding sinister agendas.
  • Grimm-Inspired Darkness: Encounter fairy tale horrors reimagined, with every Fey creature imaginable ready to be encountered.
  • Moral Complexity: Face impossible choices where helping one faction dooms another, and your decisions carry real, lasting consequences
  • Enhanced Narrative: Experience expanded storylines that weave together the carnival's mysteries with deeper lore about what truly lurks in the Feywild
  • Heckna-Inspired Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in a setting that balances grotesque revelry with psychological menace. Weird Beyond the Witchlight combines Hecnka's irreverent take on a spooky carnival with Wild Beyond the Witchlight's softer edges.
  • Unique Spells & Magic Items: Discover dark and whimsical magic that feels truly otherworldly.
  • Custom Talents System: Access an expanded homebrew talents system derived from Dragonix's framework, featuring 1,000+ class, species, and background talent s for deep character customisation.
  • Monster Enhancements: Face creatures enhanced with multiple premium supplements, including Bloodied & Bruised, Home Field Advantage, Monster Talents, Monster Manual Expanded, Recharged, and Monster Loot.
  • Balanced Challenge: Experience encounters designed to push your characters to their limits while providing opportunities for creative solutions and heroic moments.

Meet the DM

G'day! My name is Chris and I have been DMing games of Dungeons & Dragons for 26 years. I am a professional GameMaster running 40+ hours of PF1e and PF2e every week, with more than 50 paying customers spread across multiple weekly campaigns.

I have an extensive collection of tokens, a massive collection of high-quality battle maps, custom status tokens, a Syrinscape subscription, a private Discord server with a thriving community of more than 70 players, and a truly colossal collection of third-party reference materials (over 1,000 titles).

I am a story first kind of DM. This isn't to say that I don't love a bit of swashbuckling combat or a deadly dungeon crawl, but I am also keenly aware that you put a lot of time and effort into creating your characters. I like to reward that by building a narrative around your characters' wants and needs, as well as providing cinematic moments that give near-death experiences (and death itself) greater meaning.

We're collaborating to tell the epic story of the elements, the corruption that comes with power, and the dangers of unchecked progress - not competing against one another. As long as you understand that, you're going to have a great time.

All campaigns on Multiple Nerdgasms begin with a comprehensive session zero, in which safety tools and content warnings are discussed at length.
