Writing some magical forests

The idea was that I am running an elfgame forest campaign for my young son and his friends, teaching them how to GM. They find a portal in the city, a la Ultan's Door, that takes them to a magical wood. But what is special about the woods? I wanted something that invoked wonder, fear, or awe; that invites them in to spend time there. Coming up with one coherent, fully realized idea seemed daunting, and I have less than a week to the game. But a good blog told me that coming up with a bunch of diverse short ideas would be easier, and so it proved.So in the spirit of Amanda Lee's fantastic cities, I speed-wrote a list of 101 notes on magical forests (Thank you for the inspiration Amanda! I used Trello, not post-it notes, but I type faster than I write). I plan to use several of these for next week's game. Some are about forests, some about tree species or ferns or moss, and some adventure hooks and random oddities. I don't know, creating this fast is HARD. My brain go rest now.101 notes…
