Dungeons & Dragons 5e | The Wild Sheep Chase | A Fun and Wacky DND One Shot | Level 4 | New Players Welcome

About the adventure

The quaint town of Littlepass is the perfect respite for the adventurers after their recent heroic escapades. However, their plans for a leisurely day are abruptly disrupted when a frantic sheep, with an unusual magical scroll tied around its neck, rushes into The Ivy Bush tavern, bleating urgently. The scroll bestows begins a chain of events, including an impending disaster involving a mad mage and his...interesting henchmen. With little time to spare, the party finds themselves embroiled in an unexpected and whimsical adventure. Here's what to expect: 🐑 There promises to be lots of fun, laughs and creative solutions to wacky problems. 🐑 This is a level 4 adventure. If it's your first time playing DND then let me know, and I will gladly help you create a character and guide you on how to play. 🐑 There will be plenty of chances for role play in The Wild Sheep Chase! The party will encounter all sorts of engaging NPCs, opportunities to be creative, many moments of humour, crunchy and varied combats and perhaps a puzzle sprinkled in. 🐑 I am an amateur voice actor. I will strive to provide engaging NPCs with their own unique personalities, voices and motivations. 🐑 Through Foundry VTT, you will experience immersive playlists, sound effects, art and effects. These, along with compelling narration, will transport you fully into the world of fantasy! Join me and your fellow players on an epic night of DND fun!

Gameplay details

🎲 NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY! If this is your first ever game of DND, then don't fret! I love helping new players discover this wonderful hobby. 🎲 We will have a small 'session 0' one-on-one type interview by message or on a discord call before the game starts to talk about the game, your expectations and to see if it's the right one shot for you. 🎲 If there any lines or triggers that you have, then please let me know so that I can adjust things accordingly. My tables are inclusive and welcoming spaces. 🎲 We will use Foundry VTT to play the actual game, DNDBeyond for character creation and Discord for voice chat (video is optional). 🎲 I like lots of role play in my TTRPGS, both as a GM and a player. There will also of course be plenty chances for combat, exploration and maybe a puzzle or two. 🎲 My combats are also more narrative driven and I have tweaked some of the standard rules. See these changes below. 🎲 This campaign will have its challenges. The battles will be crunchy and sometimes difficult. Character death is a real possibility in this one shot. Have ideas for back up characters in mind. 🎲 I like to do voices and really get into character. For players, it's up to you how much you want to get into it. There's no pressure at all to be on the Critical Roll level! But if you want to, by all means bring it on! 🎲 Helpful discussions at the table are encouraged. However, overt-metagaming and telling other people how to play their characters and the DM how to run the game will not be tolerated. I also like players to be prepared and on time. 🎲 There will be a ten minute break half-way through sessions for bathroom and snack breaks. I have some House Rules: 📜 I have recently been experimenting with 'Role for Emphasis' (explained here - https://i.redd.it/nom1dscjfapa1.png) for clutch moments in games. It has made for some truly memorable moments! I will use it in this campaign. 📜 Movement speed - your characters speed will be used more as a guideline than a cemented rule. This speeds up combat. 📜 Attacks of opportunity and flanking - These only trigger if the player / enemy is surrounded. This also speeds up combat. 📜 Nat 20s do double damage in combat and means no damage is taken if the roll is for a saving throw. Damage from a critical hit will also be carried over to creatures that are nearby to the target and have the same AC or lower. Real crits! 📜 Nat 1s will lead to some sort of consequence decided by me at the time. It also means double damage taken on a failed saving throw. Both of these points are applied to NPCs too! 📜 Potions can be taken as a bonus action. 📜 Rules - Rules are there to keep order and structure to the game. That being said, I am the type of DM that likes the game to flow and not get overly bogged down by the rules all of the time. The DMs word and judgement is final though. Please respect that, because... 📜 Rule of cool - Some the best moments in TTRPGs are born from this. I am willing to bend the rules to listen to ideas when it fits. Please be reasonable with requests to use it though.

How will character creation work

On DNDBeyond. If you only have access to the free version then let me know and I will invite you to the campaign, where I have some of the extra materials unlocked. Both standard array and point buy are fine. You can use starting equipment or gold appropriate for your level. Feel free to use all materials up to Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos. If you want something outside of these materials, let me know and we can workshop it. If you would like to send me a small back story to add some flavour for your character, by all means, please send me one :-).
