One of the most classic animated films of all time is Disney's 1951 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. The film's beautiful visuals and imaginative reinterpretation of Lewis Carroll's books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are both memorable and inspiring. Why not allow your players a chance to play out an adventure in the world of the movie and books? With this custom one-shot, you can run a game that drops your players directly in a story that gave form to the childhoods of generations. Read on for the full one-shot.
A note about the composition of this one-shot: Alice in Wonderland poses a lot of distinct issues as source material. For one, much of the film's appeal is in its lush visuals, which cannot be reproduced via a tabletop game. For two, the plot of the movie and the books is simply that Alice wanders from interesting discovery to interesting discovery; there is no narrative force that guides her. And for three, the film is such a classic that reproducing it faithfully would not be satisfying--I could only ever accomplish an imitation of the film, not actually create something in the same vein. For these reasons, this one-shot is not a direct adaptation of the film or the books that the film adapts; it is instead a complete reinterpretation of the source material, just as Disney attempted seventy years ago.
