@JulieLiddellWhitehead This reminds me of the time that my D&D players went to the Feywild. Instead of presenting the players with head-scratching riddles, the denizens confronted them with math problems.
My players were very upset with me.
I’m working on some ideas for a little adventure booklet for the #FeywildWest setting that my friends and I have had in our #dnd game.
Part of me really wants to create a brothel to lean into the theme and tropes. I’d call it Madame Trebuchet’s where, if anyone’s being a slimeball they get magically ejected and thrown out onto the streets… with or without their clothes.
Wrapped up the 4-shot story arc in the #FeywildWest! It was such great fun!
Had a player who was quite new to #ttrpg and she had a great time!
I’m a fun twist, she actually ended up with the big moral decision at the end. Made a good one, I think.
Everything came together pretty nicely and I’m excited to think of what kinds of schemes I can come up with next.
First part of the #FeywildWest one-shot went great last night!
Fun with character intros, riding chocobos, and the combat was solid: challenging but not overdrawn.
One of my favourite parts of #dc20 is the skill challenge. I was delighted to see the whole party come up with unique ways to handle a scenario rather than saying "everyone roll Awareness."
Same time next week where they'll learn about the mysterious gunslinger that appeared once the group bested the feyotes.

Laying out plans for a one-shot (well, two or three shot) set in the #FeywildWest.
I have seven interested players. So the plot becomes obvious: The Magnificent Seven!
Setting up the overall arc and then I’ll start digging into encounter specifics. Going to leverage the #DC20 system. It’ll be my first time setting up something from scratch there instead of using the pre-built one shot. Interested fo see how it plays out. Especially with so many players!
Your concept reminds me of a fun interlude I had in my campaign. My players ended up in the Feywilds for about a year IRL and I turned it into the Feywild West, where it was always high noon in the city of Insomnia.
It was great fun and I’d love to do more with the concept in the future.
I did a hashtag summarizing some of the shenanigans back then.
When I started my #ShadowsOfEvermore campaign I was aiming for horror and intrigue. A year in the #FeyWildWest kinda threw that off a bit.
Last night I got to run a one-shot in Evermore that was all about those horror vibes and thus was I filled with joy.
Weirdly, I don’t like horror films. But horror in my cooperative storytelling? Yes please!
So after a long series of #FeywildWest adventures, we decided it was a great opportunity to finally take some downtime!
I have a tendency to run my games where it’s very go-go-go with lots of events leading into each other, but I really like taking a chance to slow down and focus on more solo character growth.
How do you like to run downtime? Or how have you enjoyed it in games you’ve played?
Interested to hear how others do it.

My next #dnd session in the #FeywildWest will include the players trying to thwart a train heist.
To prepare myself, rather than writing out a sequence of events or something like that, I wrote a short narrative of the bandits planning their heist.
It’s a small thing that the players will never see, but it sparks joy.
