Introduction
W
onderland is a strange, sometimes creepy alternate world that incorporates aspects of a fairytale land,
the elements of children’s nightmares, and a demi-plane of chaos. Game masters drawn to it in any
way can adapt it and its denizens for any number of purposes, from brief quests into Wonderland,
extended campaigns within it, or encounters with native monsters or characters who have somehow ventured
out of it. Parties of very low to fairly high level could all be involved on such adventures, depending on the sorts
of challenges and encounters a game master devises using the contents of this book.
As the name of this book suggests, it and its contents variously be ignored, menaced, or threatened, but prob-
are based on and inspired by the contents of two Lewis ably not attacked outright. There are, in fact, several

argumentative, rude, surly, or otherwise unhelpful. All, however, have ranks in Knowledge (local [Wonderland])

CHESS PERSON
Living chess pieces native to Wonderland, chess peo-
ple are always either white or red. Two sorts of such
creatures, bishops and pawns, are presented here, and
other types include kings, queens, knights, and rooks.
Traits
Chess people possess the following traits (unless oth-
erwise noted in a particular creature’s entry).
· Precise Movement (Ex): Chess people can move at
their base speed even when wearing medium or heavy
armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
· Set (Ex): Chess people of the same color who are
within 50 feet of their king automatically adjust to each
other’s tactics. If one is aware of a particular danger,
they all are. If one in a group is not flat-footed, none of
them are.

Queen
Queens are the battlefield commanders of the chess
people of Wonderland and are fearsome combatants
capable of quickly destroying any but the strongest com-
batants. Such characters have many of the powers as-
sociated with other sorts of chess people. Only one
queen may exist per color of chess person faction in
Wonderland and, when one no longer exists, a new
one is coronated in a formal ritual (which may be pre-
ceded by a brief battlefield commission if necessity
demands).

Equipment/Possessions: Small palace that she has
created largely with her magical powers.
Tactics: While she is not mean-spirited or likely to
do harm to an innocuous creature like a child, the Duch-
ess can be quite dangerous to anyone who attacks her.
She is the creator of many of the random potions that
are periodically found in Wonderland, particularly in
the Hall of Doors, an area she monitors for new visi-
tors.
Bio: This small, exceptionally ugly woman is a
prominent member of Wonderland’s aristocracy. She
has an ongoing antagonism with the Queen of Hearts,
who periodically imprisons and/or threatens to kill her.
Her familiar is a piglet on which she sometimes casts
polymorph, temporarily turning it into a human baby.
This familiar gives her a heightened sense of smell,
which makes her especially sensitive to pepper and
other strong, spicy scents. She maintains a household
staff that includes a violent human cook and a surly
frog footman.

Wonderland is home to a great many strange and terri-

fying creatures. But the jabberwock towers above them
all, being a paragon of sheer physical puissance. For-
tunately for the residents of Wonderland, the creature
is so rare as to be almost mythical, and no jabberwock
has been seen in many years. Some hope that the jab-
berwock was perhaps a singular creature and, that
when it was slain by an ancient hero — as commemo-
rated in poetic form — that it was gone forever. Others
are less optimistic however, in that the title of the poem
“Jabberwocky,” is the plural form of the monster’s name.

with vestigial wings and covered with chitin rather than
scales. Its pupil-less eyes seem to focus on nothing and

any different sorts of magic items can be found in Wonderland, to include items similar to those that
can be found in traditional campaign settings, those that function somewhat differently on the chaot
ic demi-plane, and those that are unique to the milieu.
Potions in Wonderland are often the traditional flasks of liquid. Some, however, take the form of small cakes or
other edible items, and even mushrooms and other naturally-growing items. The Food Items sub-table of Ran-
dom Wonderland Items can be used to determine such alternate potion forms if desired.
Two or more sorts of potions are also sometimes combined into a single draught in Wonderland. In such cases,
the caster level is the highest of those associated with the respective potions in question and the price is equal to
the highest plus half that of any subsequent potions.

other more hazardous areas are alluded to in reports about the place. Following are several places in or around

Queen of Hearts’ Palace
Palace
This large, elaborate palace is surrounded by pleasant
gardens and located in proximity to a number of other
official structures, including the Court (q.v.) and Prison
(q.v.). It is staffed by the Queen of Hearts’ surly and
unhelpful servitors and guardsmen, most of them card
people of various classes and levels.
Seashore
Many of the places where the inhabitants of Wonder-
land live and interact are located near the seashore,
characterized by sandy beaches, rocky outcroppings,
and white chalky cliffs. Unlike places inhabited by more
conventional people or dependent on commerce, how-
ever, there appears to be very little in the way of settle-
ments or buildings right on the water.
Snark Island
Located out of sight of land somewhere off the coast of
Wonderland, this is a rocky, dangerous, dismal island
inhabited by a number of dangerous sorts of monsters.
These include the snark, for which it is named, along
with the jubjub bird, the bandersnatch (q.v.), and the

ollowing are tables that can be used to randomly determine items that might be found any number of
places in Wonderland, to include the shaft leading into the Hall of Doors. Any one of the food items can
also be used to determine the form of a magic item that functions just as if it were a potion. And, while
mundane versions of some such items might seem worthless at first glance, the game master can allow them to
play some role in Wonderland encounters (e.g., a Cheshire cat is much more likely to be much more cooperative
than it otherwise would if given a silk handkerchief as a gift).
