WE’RE ALL MAD HERE!
In 1865, Lewis Carroll introduced the world to the delightful nonsense of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and followed up with Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There in 1871. These tales present us with a world of whimsy and absurdity, and maybe just the tiniest hint of danger and adventure.
But what if there really was an Alice who visited Wonderland and what if it didn’t vanish as soon as she left? What if Wonderland’s childlike charm tarnished just a bit with the years, and it warped under the weight of its own nonsense? Maybe it’s all just a dream—or a nightmare—but it’s all very real for anyone trapped within.
Wonderland No More provides a setting for adventures within a realm of fantasy and the unexpected, a madcap ride that bounces between humor and horror. Here, when the Queen of Hearts cries, “Off with their heads!” it usually happens!
Take on the roles of wooden Chessmen, two-dimensional Cards, talking Animals, mobile Plants, Tweedle, or even the occasional Human. Knights quest for blessed artifacts of Alice, Little Girls master the deadly Queen’s Croquet, Haberdashers have a few tricks under their caps, and Gourmancers create magical foods and drinks (helpfully labeled “Eat Me” or “Drink Me” for those who can’t figure it out on their own).
Lighthearted or sinister, it’s all what you make of it in Wonderland—because we’re all mad here.

Some of the character types:
Bounty Hunter: Since the Queen of Hearts began taxing her subjects, jobs abound for those who want to hunt their kin for
money. Tax evaders disappear or become outlaws, and need to be tracked down.
Common Folk: “From small acorns mighty oaks grow,” so says an old proverb, and it is nowhere truer than with the common folk of Wonderland. By circumstance or happenstance, many a common villager has been thrust upon the path of adventure.
Explorer: These folk are no longer content to stay in their known and safe area, following the urge to wander and see what is over the horizon.
Guard: There is always a use for a guard, including warding the royal presence, ensuring that a tax collector remains unmolested, or fighting a
war with a rival.
Gourmancer: A few of those who study the culinary art of preparing magical dishes choose to travel the realms to sell their recipes to those who have immediate use for them, to cure an ill or right a wrong. These wandering Gourmancers often stumble into adventure whether they seek it out or not.
Haberdasher: Sometimes people ask for the strangest things on their hats! Whilst seeking the perfect jubjub feather, other adventures may intervene.
