Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped…have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you’re one of the legendary few who have, why don’t you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary one!

I get it, DMing for the first time can be scary, you might not even know where to start. The prep alone can seem like a mountain to climb. You find a cool-looking One-Shot open the PDF or book and just think to yourself, how in the heck do I turn this into an actual session?

Well, I’ve got you covered! I want as many people out there as possible to experience the Amazing world of D&D and most importantly DMing! I’ve taken the following One-Shots and Mini-Campaigns and fully prepped them so you can run an unforgettable session with ease! The best part, all of it’s free for you to use!

Let’s dive in:

A Most Potent Brew: This One-Shot brings together a group of rookie adventurers on a classic quest; clearing out a cellar from some rats. Things take an unexpected turn though and lead them to their first dungeon! This level-one One-Shot will take your players into the depths of a brewery, that turns out to be connected to an abandoned mage tower basement. Will your players survive their first adventure slaying giant rats, centipedes, and more?

Coming in at approximately 2-3 hours of play, this is the perfect one shot for both new players and DMs to show what D&D is all about, without being an overwhelming 6hr+ session!

The Wild Sheep Chase: This One-Shot is on par with some of the craziness that you can experience in Baldur’s Gate 3! Your party will be enjoying a relaxing time at a tavern when a sheep suddenly bursts in and grants them a scroll that allows them to speak with each other. Your players will go on an epic chase, face off against polymorphed guards, and even fight a dragon…made out of a bed!? You can’t make this stuff up…oh wait!

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle: This Mini-Campaign is for when you’re ready to step things up and want a more serious Adventure. You’ll go from level 1-3 learn of the history of Stormwreack Isle and face off against…you guessed it a dragon!

The Lost Mine of Phandelver: This Mini-Campaign spans from levels 1-5, the only thing past this would be a full-blown campaign, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves! This one is a classic, the very first starter set that WotC released and it stands the test of time, Heck, they’re making an expansion for it coming out later this month! You’ll face not 1 but 2 dragons, explore deadly dungeons, save a town, and live out all of your heroic fantasies! When you’ve done a one-shot or two I couldn’t recommend running this more!

If none of those tickle your fancy I’ve got over 2 dozen more sessions fully prepped and ready to go for you, here’s a preview of what else I have to offer!

    Yeah. I expect three of four will really get into it and enjoy the experience, the other 3 will probably drop after the first session, but I’ve accounted for that possibility. I really, really like the creative aspect of this, and the problem solving. Let’s see how I like being the DM.

      Oh wow so 7 players total, that’s quite a bit, especially for a first-time DM, I usually don’t recommend more than 5. I pick 5 because if one player bails then you have 4 which to me is the perfect number! Having a ton of players can really draw out fights and for social encounters can leave people out of the limelight.

        Ywah, balancing anything because of that was real tough. But I let the others in cus honestly, I don’t see them enjoying it, but I’m not gonna say no if they want to try it. Today we’ll be running a combat sim, partly because they don’t understand how combat works, but also because this will help me balance things, they’ll be using their campaign characters against fighter, ranger, and warlock statblocks, which will be what they’ll encounter during the campaign.

            Ran a combat sim, just wrapped up. It was goddamn hilarious. Paladin got one shot in his first turn, rogue and wizard got critical failures back to back, but managed to clutch it.
