I'm running Wild Beyond the Witchlight for the neighborhood kids. If you're not familiar with the campaign, it opens with the PCs visiting the Witchlight Carnival, where they stumble through a funhouse mirror and end up in a region of the Feywild controlled by three sister hags. The typical narrative is that they then defeat the hags, free the original ruler of the land, and find a way home.
The carnival episode itself is fun, and consists of the PCs visiting booths and playing carnival games. One of the games is a snail race. For this session I sculpted a bunch of snail miniatures beforehand, and when the kids came over we had a painting session so each kid could paint racing colors on their snails. I modified the racing rules slightly to to play out the game along an oval using measuring tape. It was a big success, especially with various cheating and surprises happening (random table in book). The kids got to keep their snails after the game, of course.
The campaign is going well. We're about halfway through it at this point. I've needed to make it a little more gritty and fighting-oriented for this bunch, though. Tone down the whimsy a bit. But not too much.
Now... I gotta get my Gen Con schedule worked out before the May 19 event deadline... Any tips on good sessions to sign up for?
