Date: Sunday, April 29th through Tuesday, May 1st Time: Beginning at Moonrise Location: Devil’s Dell (Marketplace) ((Should prochat not work for this event, I have created a discord channel to use for the night.))

When the full moon first shines on the merry month of May, the Full Moon Market appears in the Devil’s Dell.

Invisible to the naked and untrained eye, those who wish to shop the market must follow the moonstone path and cross beneath the yew arbor. Only then shall all be revealed: rows of canvas tents and worn out wood structures that couldn’t have possibly been erected over time but instead have stood for ages uncountable in the dell, weathered but still sheltering those beneath their roof.

Under the light of the full moon, eldritch creatures emerge from the Otherworld to set up shop and bargain alongside the mortal and mundane. Those who are persistent and wander into different stalls may unearth great treasures: items stolen from the Queen of Faerie’s own table (we found her wine goblet for sale one year!) or relics lifted from the tombs of the great Pharaohs of Egypt. Do be careful where you shop though! Thieves, pickpockets, and those wishing to make a pretty penny off the unwise and unguarded abound.

At the heart of the market are rustic tables hewn from the trees surrounding the dell and a stage lifted above the crowd for performers. The sweet notes of enchanted music play long into the night, until dawn whisks the market away once more.

The market stands for three nights only, so enjoy it while you can!



((For those wishing to add a booth of any kind to the Full Moon Market, please see this google doc. Anyone can edit it and the information will be posted on Friday, April 27th.

The Full Moon Market is both a vapored and live event. The schedule is (tentatively) as follows: Sunday, April 29th: Live Event beginning at 8:00pm EST Monday, April 30th: Board Event Tuesday, May 1st: Board Event

Anyone is welcome to play in the setting and use it for live-play during “board event” hours!))

Due to an unfortunate event, Turkey or Die has only a limited supply of turkey legs for the rest of the first evening as someone set free the majority of Ol' Two Hands turkeys.

On an unrelated note, there were reports of a young, pink-haired woman riding the king of turkeys around the festival and off into the moonlit night.
