As a DM one of my favorite things as a player is to receive something tangible (sticky note, penny painted gold, etc.). Something my first DM did and it just stuck. So as an introduction to introduce our regular group to go along with this campaign I went on to a business card making company website and on one side uploaded the ticket image and on the back used the little poem in chapter 1 using the lost things hook. I told each of my would be players, "You are invited to the Witchlight Carnival and someone has already brought your first ticket." These cards will also be used as the actual tickets for punching in chapter one. Best money spent.

I just got this as my first time attempt of DM-ing since it feels really RP heavy and a lot of interactions. (Plus, I saw an image if a Bullywug Knight and new I needed this book if for no other reason than to have it in my life) Thank you for the Attraction/ Location Breakdown!

@27:13 On the Mystery Mine, Great video! I am currently running the adventure and wanted to point out, the exhaustion feature here works the same way as being "Defeated" by the shadow minions. Like it real-life, the overwhelming stimulation can lead to a sensational 'overload' and cause a blackout. So when the ride ends, they wake -up like Kevin Heart after a Magic Mountain rollercoaster ride. No deaths on-site, very bad for business and insurance already isn't cheap! :D Thank you for these rad videos, they are timeless

@benfoshee18992 жыл бұрын
What I think is great is Nikolas Midnight has the bartering system up for the tickets. I like to play it as thats a new aspect put in motion by mister witch and mister light to try and thwart the hags from getting their own pacts with people who sneak in to the carnival. This allowance of letting the poorer patrons haggle leads for fewer people trying to get in illegally. Now as I said "new aspect" I like to put it there as it wasn't around when the players were caught as children. This shows how mister witch and mister light feel about the hags retrieving things, and that they are putting things into effect to stop it, which could be a good communication point into persuading them to open the portal to Prismeer. As an aside I just want to tell you that I love your stuff, every video has great detail and good changes that I think alot of videos miss the mark on. The point of being a DM is to make your mark on the campaign to give it that individuality to make it a different adventure than they would get from another DM. Keep up the good work!

I noticed a similar thing with the river. We played through the "Lost Things" prologue and it has the PCs just run through some shrubs into the carnival. I had to reason that because of kids just like the PCs sneaking in they had to later add the river.

I loved your ToA videos and I'm so excited that you're doing this for several campaigns. It really helps me out a lot. I can't really visualize things in my head but having you explain stuff/offer insight after I've read the book makes such a big difference in my understanding of the content. Thank you!

I think I'm not exactly the best DM. Seems like Carnaval alone will take my current group at least two more sessions because.... Well... They split up immediately, then split up again. And they walk about, suspecting everything wants to kill them. Which well... Not my fault they keep falling every roll. I'm actively trying to not kill them
