Jul 23, 2008 23:40:48 I'm pretty new to dnd. I had only played a few times myself when i was asked to DM for some of my friends because no one else knew how to play. So over the last couple of weeks i have run a few sessions and things seem to be going pretty well. i have read a little bit about the feywild and i am interested in taking my players there eventually, so basically im trying to get as much information as i can on it, scenery, monsters etc. so i can try my hand at making my own adventure

Jul 24, 2008 10:15:53 I personally thought Hellboy 2 gave a pretty cool depiction of the fey world. Take a peak if you haven't at both Hellboy 2 and Pan's (Faun's) Labyrinth.

Other than that, I always pictured it at the fairy world...like when Oberron and Tatania ruled over the fairies in the fairyland or something like that. Although, currently for 4e, I'm still having a hard time grasping both the feywild and Shadowfell. Ah well.

Jul 24, 2008 11:45:17 I always thought that White Wolf Changeling RPG was a great inspiration.

Deliria is also a great source of information, but might be a bit hard to find.

Other than that, there are tons of reference material you could probably find online or at your local library about the fey/sidhe/ Celtic lore.

I always kind of felt that the feywild was kind of like the sequence in LOTR when the group goes to Lothlorian.

Read Thomas the Rhymer by Ellen Kushner.

Google fairy art and look at the pictures. that always helps for inspiration too.

I would say those movies take the underdark, feywild, and the shadowfell and just cram them all together.

Which is, I feel, awesome.

Jul 24, 2008 19:40:06 You know in Star Wars 3 during the section showing the killing of all the Jedi, there's one planet that's really bright and colorful with mushrooms as big as trees? Something like that might be the kind of thing you could find in the Feywild.

That would be Felucia.
