The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Hey everyone, What I'm here for and the campaign I'd like to run: I'm looking to start a new group to play D&D using the module The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. It's a whimsical, fairy-tale inspired adventure that takes players from a mysterious carnival into a magical feywild world. The campaign has a focus on roleplay, exploration, mystery and creative problem solving, with opportunities to resolve encounters without combat. There will be a mix of lighthearted moments and some dark fairy tale themes, but overall the tone will be relatively light. It takes characters from level 1-8. For the group I am looking to form a friendly, respectful, and inclusive group of people who enjoy playing together. Roleplay focused adventure: This adventure has a roleplay focus, but you don't need to be an experienced roleplayer or feel comfortable acting out your character. Describing what your character says or does is fine. What matters most is being interested in your character, their motivations, the world and other characters. About me: I'm Leroy, 39, and have been playing D&D for around 5-6 years. Mostly as a DM. I am fairly relaxed and enjoy collaborative storytelling. I usually work from published adventures and adapt them based on the characters, their backgrounds and the choices they make. My preperation style will vary alot. I sometimes have maps prepared for encounters and other times we'll rely more on theatre of the mind and improvisation. I'm used to a semi-serious approach where there's room for some silly moments, but where we try to return to the game where possible. Most important is that we are all having a good time. Rules & System: D&D 5e 24 We'll use the new rules for D&D 5e24 and 5e14 for the content that has not be rereleased yet. I generally follow the rules where possible, but I'm always happy to consider creative solutions. If a rule is unclear during the game, I prefer to make a ruling in the moment (likely to the benefit of the player) and look into it after the session. New player friendly: You don't need previous experience with D&D or other TTRPG. I'm happy to help with character creation and expain the rules as we play. This is a very combat light adventure where we can gradually introduce the rules. If you are completely new to D&D and not sure if you would enjoy playing through multi-session campaign, I'd be happy to organize a one-shot to introduce you to the game. I'll share content and access to the player handbooks and character creation tools on D&D Beyond.
