I haven't run Wild Beyond the Witchlight — SKT is still in progress and this one's next, queued as the palate-cleanser campaign. But I've done the research, and the resources below are what the community actually uses to run it. The thing worth knowing before you scroll: WBtW is the first official 5e campaign designed so every encounter has a non-combat resolution path. Your party can get from the Carnival to the Palace of Heart's Desire without rolling initiative once. Whether that's the campaign your group wants, or whether you'll need to add structure for combat-heavy players, is the first prep decision to make. The 80+ resources here are sorted by what they fix — starting with the Carnival, where as-written you have seven named attractions and mechanics for almost none of them.

Read ArticleThe DM prep resources the community returns to for WBtW. The campaign's main structural challenges going in: the Carnival has seven named attractions and mechanics for almost none of them, Hither is the thinnest chapter in the book, and the Hourglass Coven hags are largely offscreen until the final act. Most of these guides address one or more of those gaps. Several also address the session-zero question that this campaign actually requires — not just "set expectations for low combat" but "will your group stay engaged through four months of social-resolution encounters?" That conversation is harder to skip than the standard safety-tools checklist. DMs transitioning from a combat-heavy campaign — Storm King's Thunder is the obvious comparison — should expect this conversation to take a full session-zero slot rather than five minutes at the start of session one.

Visit ThreadThe Carnival is the campaign's first chapter and its most DM-intensive. The book gives you seven named attractions — Fortune's Wheel, the Carousel, the Hall of Illusions, the Silversong Lake stage — and full mechanics for almost none of them. DMs who run it as-written often end up improvising rules on the fly for the games players want to play. These supplements close that gap. Witchlight Carnival Expanded is the near-universal first purchase.
20+ pages of new content: new attractions (Fortune Teller, Thunderdome, Tower Topple), full mechanics for 5 existing attractions, expanded prize/scene/lost-things tables, and face painting with magical benefits. The community's near-universal "must-get" for Chapter 1. Pay what you want.

View on DMsGuildThe Lost Things mechanic is the campaign's personal stakes engine: each character had something stolen — a memory, a name, a year of their life — and getting it back is the thread that runs through Prismeer. The core book's Lost Things table is a d8. Eight entries. For a group of four players, two characters drawing the same result is a near-certainty across multiple groups, and even in a single group you're rolling on a very short list. These supplements extend it to d100 — useful for DMs running multiple groups, or anyone who wants character hooks that don't stack on top of each other.
Expands the book's d8 Lost Things table to a full percentile d100 table — essential for DMs running multiple groups or wanting more character hook variety than the core book provides.
