    The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
    SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
    A wickedly whimsical adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
    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.
    The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adventurers from the Witchlight Carnival to Prismeer, a Feywild domain of delight, and is designed for characters of levels 1-8. This book comes with a poster map that shows the carnival on one side and Prismeer on the other.
    Explore the Plane of Faerie in the first official D&D adventure set primarily in the Feywild.
    The adventure begins on a campaign world of the DM’s choice. The Witchlight Carnival, which serves as the means by which the characters enter the Feywild, can be dropped easily into any campaign setting.
    Adds two new character backgrounds: the Feylost (for characters who grew up in the Feywild) and the Witchlight Hand (for characters who work at the Witchlight Carnival).
    Introduces two races-play as a fairy or as a harengon, a race of humanoid rabbits.
    All encounters in the adventure include a non-combat option, allowing players to think and roleplay their way through the adventure if they wish.
    Classic 1980s Dungeons & Dragons characters return, including Warduke, Strongheart, and Kelek.
    On the Cover
    The Witchlight Carnival has come to town! On the back cover, a displacer beast finds 8-year-old Tyler Jacobson and leads him back to the carnival, where he belongs.

      I'm hoping Elkhorn is going to be in the book, the blue haired dwarf was my favourite from the D&D action figure line.
      You'd think that Hasbro would make a new D&D action figure toy line. I don't know if the rights to the original action figure characters are available, but it'd be nice if they'd include the characters from the '80s.

    Warduke was the Boba Fett of '80's D&D - a guy who looked so insanely cool that he commanded attention. Half-armor makes sense if you imagine a gladiator-inspired combat style, where the shield covers his unarmored side, and he's quicker on his feet without the extra weight and bulk of armor he doesnt need. Plus maybe its hella hot where he operates!

    Always go for the helm of dread! Playing a life cleric? Nothing says "I bring the healing light of the Morning Lord" like evil glowing eyes! Put one on your horse too. Nothing ominous about that. It's like lanterns on a boat at night, it's there to prevents traffic accidents! Be safe, wear the -evil looking- safety helmet.

      Every time they expand Barovia, he gains another level in lichdom.
      On the plus side, he's probably a baelnorn because he just wants to produce more content for the D&D world as a whole community.
