Welcome back to Advent’s Amazing Advice! [https://www.patreon.com/posts/stranger-things-122421276] The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc., and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more, so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! Inspired by Stranger Things and written by Mike Wheeler himself, this adventure drops your players into a monster hunt like no other. Summoned by Sir Tristan, ruler of a remote mountain realm, your party is tasked with tracking down a fearsome creature known as the Thessalhydra, which has attacked his castle and terrorized the land. In Part 1, your players will explore a mysterious forest, encounter travelers, priests, and farmers, until they uncover the entrance to the troglodyte caverns. There, they can fight or negotiate their way deeper until they reach the ever-shifting Cursed Labyrinth. Should they solve the riddles of the mysterious Lost Knight, they will be greeted with a portal…to the Upside Down.

The Delian Tomb is a Level 1 Introductory One-Shot based on Matt Colville’s first episode of his Running the Game series on YouTube.

Recently, there has been an influx of goblins in the region, and some of the foul creatures have even begun attacking the farms on the outskirts of the village. Your players are all friends, just traveling through, in search of adventure. It isn’t long before they find themselves mixed up in the business of Goblins and pursuing a kidnapped child into the depths of a long-forgotten tomb. This is their opportunity to prove themselves and to rescue someone in need…if they can survive the perils of The Delian Tomb!

Welcome back to Advent’s Amazing Advice! [https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaa-index-and-75432088] The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! *New: For the New Year, I’m updating all my old work to be more accessible for the Visually Impaired! Check out the link below, which contains improved notes with larger font, better contrast, color-blind features, and more! Delivery Witches Apply Within is a level 3 One-Shot for 1-2 players. Inspired by Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki and Kiki’s Delivery Service, your player will meet a strange black cat who leads them to the Kat and Cake Bakery, where they’ll try to prove themselves worthy of the title Delivery Witch by delivering a set of packages. These aren’t just any ordinary deliveries; throughout, you’ll run into a slew of interesting characters and events, including a druid posing as a cat, a silver dragon, mists that try to teleport you elsewhere, and ghostly apparitions! Brittney Hay has done an absolutely fantastic job creating this One-Shot. You really feel like you’re in a magical, lighthearted world. This One-Shot is a far cry from my usual preps; being for only 1-2 players, you’ll have the opportunity to really engage your players. The music is right from Kiki’s Delivery Service and blends perfectly with your adventure! I couldn’t be happier with how this one turned out! This One-Shot is from an anthology of One-Shots inspired by Studio Ghibli, Eyes Unclouded; if you like this one, I’m sure you’ll find plenty more to fall in love with!

Advent's Amazing Advice: The Wild Sheep Chase, fully prepped and ready to go! (Update: Enhanced for the Visually Impaired) [DnD5e] - The TTRPG network

Sometimes you just don’t want to prep. Sometimes you get a last-minute call to run a session. Maybe it’s your first time DMing and you don’t know where to start. Whatever the reason, prep may seem like a mountain to climb. Well, allow me to help you! I remember when I was first trying to figure everything out and I stumbled across A Wild Sheep Chase. It’s a fantastic One-Shot that you can get for free over on the DMsguild [https://www.dmsguild.com/product/170937/The-Wild-Sheep-Chase--A-SingleSession-Adventure]. The only issue at times can be how do I convert this pdf into an actual session? Some DMs have a gift, they can read it once and go from there, some are masters at improv, storytelling, and off-the-cuff humor. Well, I unfortunately don’t fit that boat and I’m sure many others out there are just like me. I need a ton of notes; because once I’ve got things organized, then I feel comfortable taking things in new directions. So welcome to Advent’s Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! Onboarding new DMs should be easy and I hope with this I can help grease the wheels! *New: For the New Year, I’m updating all my old work to be more accessible for the Visually Impaired!
