My players have an artifact they need to hide, and they've decided to do so in the Feywild, cross-planar tracking being a complicated thing.
Now, I've never run a game where there was cross-planar travel, much less to the Feywild. I have three of the plane books (Manual of the Plans, Planes Above, Planes Below), but does anyone have any advice for running a short-medium jaunt through this place?
One part Grimm Brothers, one part Paprika, a dash of Changeling: the Lost, season to taste? Keep it weird, keep it fantastical.
Well, if you're comfortable exercising a lot of creative license. I don't actually know what the Feywild is like, "officially".
Basically the above, go as crazy weird magical fairy tale-y as you want. Alice in Wonderland also works well for the Feywild in small doses.
Okay, I know the Grimm Brothers, but I don't really know what the others are.Quote:

If nothing else, search up the parade scene (content-wise, it's tame), it contains a suitable amount of trippiness.
Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away is another good one. Both European tales of the Fey and Japanese tales of Yokai are similar in ways...
