Alternate story hooks: Your parents made a deal with a fae and to reclaim what was lost now that you are of age, you have to go get it. A fae tricked you into giving up something in exchange for something else you needed at the time. One of your ancestors was a fae and to be a real boy you have to go find your family's connection to the wild through a family heirloom.

Perhaps a half elven Feylock who made a deal with an archfey to get out, only to be given a nearly impossible task they do not know about and power to complete said task after growing up from childhood to adulthood in the feywild for whatever reason, and the archfey who whisked you from the prime materiel is your patron.

Sadly, way to pricy for just some flavor elements for your own, more fun, adventure.

A simple change I would make to fix that backstory problem is that they all went there in their dreams when they were kids. Nobody would pay in their sleep especially if it's always the plan to draw the kids in to punish them and take something they hold dear. Then it draws them back some years after to collect what it is they've lost. Might not be perfect but I think it gives a lot more room for freedom.

Well they also have the hourglass coven, why not just skip it being a result of them going there as kids and instead have it be something that could be a consequence of the players going to the carnival as adults? Maybe the Hags are kidnapping children from the carnival to use as slaves in prismeere, and if the players interfere with this activity the Hags decide to combine their powers to curse them by opening a rift in time to steal shit they held dear as children... Because that's how Hags roll and these ones specialize in messing with time. (So basically the curse isn't something they always suffered but now that they are cursed they know that this isn't how the timeline should be so now they have to beat the hags and figure out how to fix their altered pasts....)

I actually really like the idea of making the story hook the fact that you were in the Carnival as a kid and you return now to get back what you lost. Is a very fairytale-esque logic, plus it sounds like something Stephen King would put in his most successful books, so you can really use this plot hook to exploit the weird and tug on the heartstrings.

On the topic of the story hooks, I feel like if you are playing with a group of friends instead of running it with a group of randos found online or at your local game store they become WAY less restrictive. I’ve come to find that when people play together long enough it’s inevitable that they start making characters that at least some of them know each other before the game even starts and that helps a LOT. For example, only one party member would need to take the background where they snuck in and had their inspiration stolen. The rest of the party would then be allowed to have their own reasons for coming along from just wanting to help their friend to being taken by the sense of adventure at the idea of traveling the feywild to even just wanting to take a magical Disney weekend trip, lol. You can even have another player have the hook of being sent by the “magic man” on a quest with or without the rest of the party knowing about it for extra intrigue. It’s not as bad a problem as you make it out to be is all I’m saying.

"Howdy hows it's going" ahhhh seratonin

Harengon ranger, take the Fey Wanderer, select antlers and evolve your rabbitfolk into a jackalopeople.

Well, the hooks of characters sneaking into the carnival as kids and getting something stolen doesn't have to be the principal thing in it. You can still build a completely independent BG and incorporate this small detail in it so you have the story hook. Can't you ? From my point of view, I've done SO many characters from the ground up, with intricate backgrounds worthy of being books, that working with or being given a direction at the beginning to start with as an inspiration for the character does not feel restrictive at all. It's actually a breath of fresh air. You know like when you first start traveling, you wanna choose your destinations with your gut and decide every step of the way. but once you've seen the world around, it's actually quite interesting to be thrown into a direction and just expand creatively on it. So I'd say give your players the information of having visited the carnival as kids and having lost something in it before they create their characters. Then let em build a background around it, and then you start the game with the fortuitous possibility to go get it back. Just my 2 cents

I think the carnival opening isn’t actually to restrictive. What I like to say is that my players visited the carnival at some point while it was in a city that they and/or their family was in at the time, so maybe their family was traveling like merchants or nobility or this could just be the place where their family lived. Also I’d say there’s plenty of excuses for a child sneaking into a carnival, whether they could have been peer pressured into doing it, they forgot their money at home but still wanted to be with friends, or for someone like a druid/ranger raised away from civilization just didnt have the money and background to respect an idea like paying for a ticket to visit a carnival in the first place Although my players are kinda breezing over that detail too lol

Time for some Viera jokes

I still need to get the book, but from what you've said I'd consider having the adventure start with the PCs as children at the carnival and RP the loss of their items. Then pick up the rp a few years later as adults.

CW: Spoilers. ... In my own group one of my players worked in the carnival and had bring them there one by one where-ever they were. They could socialize inside the cart and talk smack before they would arrive. Ask questions if they came from other planes and even buy stuff. Then I assigned the carnival attendee player with rules, but more access to carneval while player had to buy tickets etc. This way the hook was more personal and was with the backstory.

There's a sourcebook on the DMs guild written by Ed Greenwood. The profits are donated to charity.

Let’s just be honest, this is the Undertale/Deltarune of dnd

If they make a guide to the feywild!!! *gasp** **puts on Fry voice** Shut up and take my money!!!

Glad I'm not the only one who finds the two plot hooks presented a bit limiting. I wish they had kept to the format of Frostmaiden or Tomb of Annihilation and offered more background-based plot hooks.

Yo, does the model have different mechanics for social interactions? I kinda got exited when i heard about the "pacifist" Route but i think it would not be that interesting if you're just not having interesting challenges. I Like roleplaying as much as the next guy, but i think 5e kinda lacks the potencial to do a COMPLETE adventure without a single punch being thrown. Either that or just really well constructed social encounters that take on account the martial classes as well.

I will never tire of the rating joke.

5$ hot-dog. Me: my good this is so fucking cheap.

If anyone and/or Davvy comes up with a good fix/merge/substitute for the adventure hooks please PLEASE reply to this.

I honestly don't see why it can't be a mix of both. Let each person have their own reason for visiting the carnival. One person wants to reclaim what they lost, one person is sent by the warlock to investigate, one is a fey race who wants to visit the carnival, one is looking for someone who went missing at the last carnival/went missing in the fey realm, as that's one of the things that can happen in the carnival, and one is one of the witch light carnival workers who gets the message from the mysterious benefactor that is presented in the chapter about the carnival who tells them to gather these people together, helping give these level 1 strangers a reason to come together and be an adventuring party. It might be fun this way too because instead of solving one mystery, they are trying to solve what looks to be several that in the end are all tied into one.

Or you could be a planeswalker trying to get home and get hooked into the adventure since you're afraid of coming home.

I like more non-violent solutions. In fact, they tend to be OP in my campaigns I have even once had my players all tell me they liked the villain of my story and just joined him. It was supposed to be one of those "Nobody is actually evil" stories but honestly, the villain was more of an asshole but far more moral. His plan involved fewer people being killed though likely more people would die, they would just not die violently and die more or less voluntarily. So they joined him and made my life hard. Here is a scenario, your friend took some drugs out in the woods. They overdosed and will die but you can get them to a hospital to save them. This sadly also means the police will find them and put them in jail for life. They ask you not to save them, do you do it anyway? My players said no if he wants to die here in the woods you dig a grave and move on.

"Eight years ago, you all attended the Witchlight Carnival. It was a grand time, none of the performers cared where you came from... rich, poor, young, old... to them, you were a customer, an attendee, someone to put a smile on. But something happened, there's an empty spot in your memory of the Carnival where you know that something... or some*one* should be... During your questing, you've heard that there will be another Witchlight Carnival this year, in a few weeks actually. Now armed with the skills and knowledge of a tested Adventurer, you seek the Carnival with your comrades in arms and try to recover what was lost to you." I think that this would probably be a great way to mix the two hooks into one that isn't as intrusive on how the characters were, but gives the DM/GM something to work with if the player lets their DM know what it is they believe their character lost. Was it just the memories of that night? Was it the memories of that item or person? Does your character realize what they lost or do they still not know and are just drawn to the carnival to find out what it was that they did lose?

Lol, I can see you playing a bard fairy

I'm trying to prep this for a group, I think both hooks are great, and I think it'd be cool to use both, but obviously not with everyone else at the table. I'd break the group up into two initially distinct groups, those that want to have a backstory involving the carnival and those that don't. Obviously I'd work with them to flesh that out a bit, both categories are pretty broad and vague. But once the group gets together, everyone has their own individual goal that they can work with the others to achieve, rather than just feel like a troupe being tourist trapped to the locations and destinations. As this is very much a less combat heavy project, I want to encourage my party members to split up, especially at the beginning. Who knows, maybe even some players will completely split off from the party to explore Hither while others go to Thither, and then meet up to explore more of one or the other. Idk I'm still reading it but I like the concept of the whole thing

I think the party arriving at a fey carnival is more reasonable and works better with various character backgrounds than the games I’ve played which consisted of... Being pulled off the street to enter some guy’s dreams. Being prison slaves to drow in the underdark. And just suddenly appear in a town that’s on fire. I don’t think the dm knew how to do set ups for campaigns, but they were still fun. Point is, no matter how an adventure starts, just roll with it and make it work.

As it turns out, my friend had pre-ordered *this* campaign on Amazon before he died. It arrived, emblazoned with his name, at their home about a week after his services. When his wife told me about its arrival, I instantly knew what must be done. The Universe had dictated that I run this campaign. And so, run it I shall. Please don't be sad about this tale. Just do me this favor. When you're playing your games and telling your stories, remember to recognize the moments of great joy and heroic sacrifice. When they happen, just stop time for as long as you can. Take care to savor every nuance. And when you finally must allow the moment to pass, cherish the memory of it for all your days.
