How to run The Feywild in Dungeons and Dragons 

I love the „time must be observed“ thing it is so easy to understand and so terrifying should the party lose their method of observation.

In my homebrew world, the fey is devoid of the flow of time: time is only relative to those who enter or exit the realm when the initial portal was opened. A portal opened yesterday into the feywild would always open up into yesterday, no matter how long you’ve been on the other side. The only way to get to a portal that opened in the future is to find a portal that was opened after whatever portal you initially came through.

I prefer two split my courts in two. So that the Unseelie has clubs and spades as emblems, and their function focusing on elaborate almost gothic structures with a view pointed towards magical labour while Seelie have Hearts and Diamonds, focusing on decadence, and self expression. While they have opposing factors you can get corner cases where the two courts cooperate in projects.

Now we need a video about the Shadowfell

Fantastic man. As you know I'm a big fan of your channel. Really really like these longer vids. Appreciate the work man!!!! Feywild is such a cool setting

Oooooo fey compass and pocket watch. Very cool. I will be putting that detail in my notes, especially the part where it gets stolen and now time itself is out of control.... IDEAS BREWING!!!!!

One notion I quite like for managing time in a feywild encounter\arc would be to have the players demeanor set the pace of times passage - if the players move with urgency, time in the real world moves more slowly, if they a lax time in the Fae slows down and the Real accelerates by - I probably wouldn't state that outright, but drop several hints early on for that "Oh..." moment when they are gone for a long weekend in the Fae and come back and 20 years has passed.

As a German, having grown up with these fairytales, I just love the Fey's and Feywild's vibe. I'm looking forward to letting my players stumble into it, thank you for the great vid and the helpful tips!

Great video. You earned a sub. Some really solid advice here. Love darkward/lightward. BTW- I recommend Tales of the Old Margreve by Kobold Press if you want some amazing dark fairy tale adventures to run. They don't take place in Fairyland or the Feywild per se, but adjacent to it in a magical sentient forest.

I run faywild in my games kinda like how the Dresden files handels the faerie. In some aspects similar to the ”dnd canon” explanations but still different, and ofcourse i had to throw some of myself in the mix too.

Omg I started to watch your video bc I wanted to make a campaign based on Hellboys The Wild Hunt cycle. When I reached the end of your video my jaw dropped. The main NPC that helps the party is pretty much a copy paste of Hellboy himself. Great stuff

You’re a hero. I’m running a Feywild campaign soon and I needed an assist

I got a notification!! We're back, mate! Also, great content and explanation of the Feywild, some of the strangest areas in DnD.

Great ideas, thank you for the video!

Your videos are such a fantastic help for someone like myself just starting out DMing, both the short form and longer content are just brilliant! Such a great mix of canon lore, inspiration and gameplay mechanics. Keep them coming dude, would love to see some more videos like this one on some of the other planes and how to run them.

Just discovered your channel yesterday and you have been such a huuuuge help man, thanks a lot for these videos

These are all such fantastic ideas. I love the idea that emotion and intention are so important! I'll definitely be incorporating a lot of these ideas

Another great video 👍

I'm bringing my PC's to the Feywild this weekend! This definitely helps, thank you and amazing content! 👍

Amazing. Been wanting to run a fey wild for some time but always been a bit nervous about getting it right. This has helped a lot.

You're a beast man good stuff!!

Big fan of your channel and videos! You’re encounters and adventures on Patreon have been super helpful especially for someone like me that doesn’t have a lot of time on my hands to homebrew or prep a session from scratch. Thanks again and keep up the great work! 🤘🏻😄

Thank you for this! I don’t know if you’ve made it before but a video on the Underdark would be awesome.

Thanks for this! I have my party stuck on an Island with a bunch of wacky things going on, just for a side trip that I thought was funny, and for something different. But, between sessions a player asked me directly if they were in the Fey, and until they said that, I hadn't planned it that way. But I think I will have a Fey tell them in this place the planes are 'soft' - so, a place of overlap between The Fey and Prime - and to get back home, now I think I want them do it through the actual Feywild, so I found this by looking for resources to help me do that. I really appreciate the info here, and those comics are en route. Big help, friend - you got a new fan.

Another great video 📷

This was nice to listen too as I tried to make a wild beyond the witchlight game but now its going to be less a bible and more a dictionary.

Excellent as always! And timely too , as my players may end up in the Feywild soon. 👍 Thank you! ♥️ The cat, scene stealer. 😃

Excellent video with some great ideas. My party ran to the fey wild to escape death but cannot waste time so the whole concept of time distortion is the most dangerous factor.

I was just contemplating how to deal with the Feywild in my game, this video is really helping me along!

Thanks I appreciate this.

This is great!

Your fey time solution is wonderful. So much flavor and a great mechanic.

Love to see the channel growing. Besides can I plant the idea of making some low fantasy setting content?

Hey, speaking about fae like stories and inspiration, I'd really like to mention the comics series "Fables" which is pretty much exactly about all that, plus it's absolutely awesome ! xDD Thanks for the vid, really digging your work ! :)

I've been building out the courts and building out the Exandrian feywild with the Seelie, Summer, and Unseelie courts being their own regions as expected (spring, summer, and winter respectively), but Im also building out an eladrin region (autumn) with a court of their own and a source of lore for changelings to mirror them. Eladrin were said to be influenced by the feywild and it affected them in a way where they are colorful and can change visually. there were major catastrophic events in the Material plane during the Calamity, scars on Exandria where deserts were made among other things. Since the Fey is a mirror, i thought those scars would make the feywild become essentially featureless. The Neverlands colors are muted if they're there at all, instead of being fluid the nature might be more brittle than expected, and an elf who is born in one of those regions or one who lives there long enough has a chance to have offspring who is a changeling (much like tieflings being decendents of a parent who made a deal. that sort of thing) because of their potential and seen as being moldable, they are sought after and higher powers across the realm hope to find changelings so they can be raised into that specific court's motivations and needs.

This was really awesome, do Shadowfell as well! (Maybe a video mini series of realms etc?)

I'd love something like this on ravenloft/the demiplane of dread

Thanks dude i have been waiting for this btw i am the one who requested this vid. love your channel always have great vids

Mighty fine lookin' 'stache, my friend! 🤠

Such an amazing video!! Out of curiosity, where are those background maps from? The ones with the floating palaces, I mean

Are you thinking on doing the shadowfell

My strange and whimsical currency is just electrum pieces. Only electrum, and no they will not exchange for your useless gold and silver coins. Have to melt them down and combine them if you dare.

Good ref to Sauchiehalll st 😂

Read the dresden files if you want good representation of the fey and the feywild

Glaswegian watching. I am dead.😆

Lightward and darkward in the fey realm? You wouldn't happen to be a kingkiller chronicles fan by any chance? 😁

4:14

i know it will take a while but could you please do something on the forgotten realms

Comment for the algorithm :)

Could a player have a character background that they were stuck in the Feywild for like a year or two? could they offer their expertise in dealing with certain npcs and locations? Or would that be too game breaking?
