Game Design and Processes

In gearing up for a Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign one of my players asked if he could be a Pixie who worked at the Witchlight Carnival. He wanted to be a Barbarian who protected the Pixie Carnival within the fair. I loved this idea and told him to give me some time. In the next few days I spent time consulting the WOTC Monster Manual, Players Handbook, and the Wild Beyond the Witchlight book itself for all their information about pixies.

I took time to consider ways to give this species applicable fey magics as well as provide realistic mechanics for their stature in a way that didn’t feel like punishing the player, but rather gave them a realistic feeling of playing a tiny character. I also wanted there to be repercussions if the player was to pursue becoming a larger creature, leaving behind Pixie Nimbleness in pursuit of their alternate goals, in a way that acknowledges and respects that when your body changes it acts differently.

The plain text file for the Pixie Species can be found here.

More to come on this page! I am also currently running two D.E.B.S. and Totally Spies inspired games that I will be posting more about the worlds I’ve been building, the items they encounter, and all sorts of shenanigans we get up to.
