About the adventure

No one knows what adventure awaits—except you! In this fast-paced, player-driven D&D experience, the table will vote between five quest options, each described in just a few evocative words. All adventures are drawn from One-Shot Wonders, offering a mix of challenges and themes. Majority rules, and once the choice is made, you’ll have a few hours to create or adapt a character for the journey ahead. Whether the group ends up on a risky job, exploring an eerie ruin, or caught up in unexpected trouble, you’ll need to think fast and roll with the outcome. This is primarily a theatre-of-the-mind game, keeping the action fluid and immersive without reliance on maps or miniatures. Expect quick pacing, creative problem-solving, and an unpredictable journey where the only certainty is that the choice is yours. Perfect for players who enjoy surprises and flexible storytelling, this one-shot is all about jumping in and seeing where the adventure takes you!

How to prepare

Join the Discord server and Roll20 game, maybe have a rough idea of what sort of character you might want to play though.

What I provide

I will bring cool adventures, occasionally maps and all my content on D&D Beyond. I'm a heavy believer in rule of cool, thus reward creative thinking rather than utilising rules as written. I do minimal voices but am very good at running theatre of mind encounters.

Gameplay details

It is very difficult to give content warnings for wild card adventure's, but after the game has been chosen I will highlight any themes that haven't already been highlighted, and if anyone is uncomfortable with the adventure we can pick again. My DMing style is very light hearted and not afraid to quickly veil something or modify it on the fly based on vibes or direct requests at the table. If you have any concerns I always make time for players before and after a game, and try to be attentive to direct messages during a game.

How will character creation work

Character creation specific will be given after the adventure is chosen, at which point players will have roughly 15 minutes to creature or modify a character. Characters level will between 1 - 8, using point buy and either 2014 and 2024 content (though try not to mix and match). Adventures will be picked by majority vote, if after choosing you really don't want to play the adventure I will happily let you drop out and give you a refund. Character level will be clear when choosing adventures.
