Another good example of flora and fauna would be the Shivering isle, in Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion, with it's deformed flora, it's strange character and the dichotomy between fun and terrifying
Concept: every time the players take a long rest, roll on a d8 table for the following: "rain / hot sun / thunder / bloom / snow / autumn / freezing rain / fog". The weather changes to that type and the landscape shifts as if that's been the weather for at least several days - leaves or snow covering the ground, trees rapidly changing their foliage, large ice formations, etc.
I feel totally called out. I want to make a chronomancy rabbitfolk; I was literally just talking to my players about this last night. Another good inspiration book is The Phantom Tollbooth - excellent book and great Feywild inspiration. Excellent video, love the tips.
I love the bird cage idea haha XD The Feywild is one big Amelia Bedelia book With the concept of the Material Plane affecting the Feywild, you could allow the players to encounter a villain they defeated in their world who is not actually villainous in the Feywild :P
This was really interesting :) Maybe this is weird to say but your voice/tone/pace is easy to listen to. I find that a lot of other male RU-vidrs kinda shout-talk. I would add something wicked this way comes to the inspiration list 😊 Looking forward to more of your videos.
I really liked some of your tips, going to mess with their senses now and have multiple types of saves while spending time in the Fey. For senses you can also make is so the feywild works differently with balance, sense of danger, pain, hot/cold, or proprioception.
That video was fantastic! Very well thought out, very well presented and very easy to digest. It has indeed spurred quite a few thoughts on the plane. Excellent work man, you've earned another subscriber! Really looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with the release of Wild Beyond the Witchlight 😁
Thank you RU-vid suggestions. I thought this video was really well done, and I definitely will take lots of these suggestions to mind. You have my subscription.
I really hope that even without 200 likes (since I can only like once) that your tips are posted somewhere. My party has been waiting for months for me to finally run a feywild adventure and your tips are beyond helpful and very inspirational. Thank you.
Well it sounds like we definitely need to help you make this happen! Im thinking about putting together a little something if we get close. If you had to choose one or two tips, which ones would you most like to see more in depth?
@@TheClericCorner That's hard to choose from...but the effects the feywild has on character is something I didnt think about. Yeah afterwards you forget but what happens while there is a great option to delve into. Your description when you first get into the fey is something I might use word for word but its those descriptions that really help. The fey is something that not many people delve into but something because of my inexperience has kept me from running. So any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks again
@@armandolee5902 Done! Didn't reach out goal, but still created a 2 page document for it in my discord based on the feedback I got! Planning on making another condensed one for my dragon video this week, so if you end up swinging by that, I'd love to know what you'd like to see!
In the matter of fey inspiration, I would like to recommend the book and miniseries of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel. It has the best fey lord representation that I've seen in any media in the last years, I think, in the character known as The Gentleman with Thistledown Hair.
Thank you so much for this video. I love these idea and thank you for creating the game mechanics. I’ve been wanting to get into the fay wild in my game and character creation.
Fantastic video, great ideas!! I'm a Dungeon Coach subscriber and his latest video (dragons) had a shout out to you, so I came over to check everything out and I am blown away! Your content is incredible and so thought provoking/stimulating! Keep up the great work!
Funnily enough, I have something happening in my worlds version of the feywild. A new court appearing due to the rapid industrialization of cities, a court of iron and steel that seeks only to expand and conquer, filled with creatures that resemble machines, but have a mutated aura of fey magic about them.
@@rickyevans2697 Technically a specific thing called "cold iron" is often sourced as being dangerous to them, but yes. That's the point. A new thing of fey that are made of iron, steel, fire, smog, and oil.
7:26 Or perhaps it start raining and it gets colder and gloomier. And perhaps someone wants to arrest them for feeling the wrong feelings and messing up the local terrain with said feelings?
Iv been running a campaign with 2 of my players as eladrins known as the twin king Wizards. I made the feywild like the movie honey I shrunk the kids. So I made the natural world 215x larger 😆
I've had an idea for how the feywild works that I want to use for a potential PC. The feywild and it inhabitans don't see a difference between adopted and biological children. Any adopted child in the feywild will begin to mutate to resemble their new parent. The PC that I've wanted to make was sold by their father to a fey (the "first-born child" type of deal). But since his mother never agreed to this deal the fey agreed that she would only take his father side of parentage. And since they feywild mutated him to be more like his fey-mother, he now has 2 mothers that he is genetically related to. Even if they have never met each other for a decently large portion of his life.
I'm starting my first campaign as a GM with the party entering the feywild and this video had some wonderful tips. Although what in the Brothers Grim tales is fey like?
Is it possible or okay to put horror elements into feywilds? A little bit of background, I'm filipino and the "feywilds" for our culture... Is connected to horror
@@TheClericCorner so iggwilv is queen of the feywild and one day she disappeared. That's when the corruption began. So the party will eventually learn that a coven of hags have trapped iggwilv in a crystalline prison and are tasked with freeing her. Plot twist will be that it was iggwilv herself attempted to end the feywild but was interrupted by the coven who are actually the good guys and once they free her she will continue the ritual and that will be the final boss battle.
"This would be perfect for your players that love role playing" (8:10). No, it wouldn't. Those players will love it when something in the environment happens for them to react to, but being told how their own characters feel is the opposite of that, it's the GM controlling the emotions of player characters.
