Can you tell me your standpoint on the shadowfell please? I'm trying to set up a campaign for my players but am having a couple issues with the shadowfell.

Hi, @snowyrose93! I’m also going to bounce this question to our DM, @tessacrowley. What kinds of issues are you having with the Shadowfell? Mechanics? Flavor?

When we as players entered the Shadowfell, we were instructed to play our characters differently the longer they remained there. Heighten group dynamic tensions, focus hard on staying positive despite the pressure of the plane, etc. We found ourselves fighting each other more, and some of those effects stuck with us when we returned to the Material Plane.

Me:so you see seven figures standing around a magical circle of some kind. They're all chanting and the runes within the circle are pulsating with black crackling magic. One of them is clearly dressed more lavishly than the other in a more ornate robe with jewelry and what not.

Warlock: I crack open the door a little more and say "hey i've got some prisoners for you to sacrifice if you want."

Me: they don't say anything they just keep chanting.

Warlock: okay I walk up to the nearest guy and put my hand on his shoulder and go, "heyyy."

Me: you break his concentration, a portal of blackness appears and sucks both of you into it before you can react.

The rest of the party: well fuck

*the rogue then precedes to dispatch two more of them with a pair of arrows, the barbarian spears one with a javelin and the paladin throws something at another, all four of the clerics disappear into the void as well*

Rogue: okay there's two of them left

Me: one actually, the last lower ranking guy loses concentration as the toll of the smell wears him down.

Paladin: okay so I'll just take my spear and throw it at the last guy and kill him too and we've completed our quest.

Me: okay you do this. As the head priest loses concentration the magic circle crackles and sparks violently with power before exploding creating a rift 100 feet wide that consumes you all, teleporting you into the shadowfell.

The party as a collective: oh fuck. God damn it, what the hell? What is the shadowfell!

Me: it's sort of like the shadow realm.

Paladin: so it's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duel!
