✨The Fey Fayre : A 5e One-shot Adventure✨
Gather your friends and pack your bags, for tonight you’re off to the carnival! 
In this fun & whimsical one-shot, you play a group of adventurers who take a nice relaxing night off to visit the spectacular FEY FAYRE. Spend the night enjoying quirky attractions, exotic stalls and chaotic games. Get ready for the big talent show, where you can show off your skills, and glorious riches await the winning performer.
But when the grand prize of the talent show goes missing and your party is accused of stealing it, you must work together to find out what happened, or be turned into toads and spend the rest of your lives trapped in the Feywild…
Check it out here!
Or get just the cute character sheets here!

Okay, let’s be serious for a moment: like 80% of the whole “being a GM is like herding cats” thing is because you didn’t bother to communicate to your players what the game was going to be about and expected them to figure it out by reading your mind.
I promise you, if you’ve written up a fancy new dungeon and ask your players “hey, want to play a game about exploring a dungeon?”, it’s quite likely that they’ll be more than happy to go to the dungeon.
Hell, save them the trouble and just start the game with them already in the dungeon - as long as you clear it with your group in advance and don’t abuse the privilege to drop them into a pit full of rust monsters on turn one, they’ll probably just go with it. In medias res is your friend!
And on the off chance that they say “no, we don’t want to go to a dungeon today”? At least you found out up front instead of pissing around for a couple of hours first - there’s literally no downside to opening that channel of communication.
(There are admittedly a small minority of players who this won’t work for because they actively and deliberately obstruct whatever they think the GM is trying to do, but they’re contrarian assholes and you shouldn’t be gaming with them in the first place.)

Campaign idea: your party and the BEG are transported back in time. The big bad does something to every party members parent(s), and you each have to care for and raise your childhood selves as you track the BEG down

Place Aesthetics: Faerie
“A faerie heart is different from a human heart. Human hearts are elastic. They have room for all sorts of passions, and they can break and heal and love again and again. Faerie hearts are evolutionarily less sophisticated. They are small and hard, like tiny grains of sand. Our hearts are too small to love more than one person in a lifetime.” - Tiger Lily, Jodi Lynn Anderson

I sent out a questionnaire to my players including such questions as “what is your character’s greatest fear?” and “do you have any items of emotional significance on the adventure? :)”
Anyone else really enjoy asking their players seemingly random questions that they KNOW will be relevant to the plot later but they don’t know how?
“Do you have any necromancy spells?”

I figured out a simple guide to the alignment chart last night
Lawful: Rules matter more to me than individuals. Chaotic: Individuals matter more to me than rules.
Good: Other people’s well-being is more important than my own. Evil: My own well-being is more important than other people’s.
Neutrals: My opinion of what is more important is determined on a case-by-case basis.
So a Lawful Good character’s guiding moral philosophy might be “I follow the rules because the rules keep people safe, even if they are sometimes inconvenient or harmful to me or other individuals.” A Chaotic Evil character’s guiding moral philosophy would be like “Screw the rules and screw you.”
