A Most Potent Brew! A Learn-to-Play One-Shot for Beginners!

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

New to D&D? Great! That's exactly who this one-shot is for! The Wizard's Tower Brewing Co. has a small problem: giant rats! Seems simple enough, but you'll soon find that the this brewery didn't get its name for no reason. Discover the secrets that lie beneath, getting a taste of dungeon delving, combat, and (some very light) puzzle solving! This one-shot caters to new players who have either never played before or who are still learning the ropes. That means it's a completely safe space where you can ask as many questions as you want, and nobody will be bothered by you not knowing the rules because that's why everybody's there!

Recruiting notes

This is a quirky, wonderfully straightforward one-shot for people new to the game. If you join early enough and hop into the Discord, you can plan your party with the other players, and I can guide you through character creation!

Additional details

How to prepare

You'll need a camera and a microphone, Discord, and a free account on Owlbear Rodeo. Before the adventure, send me your character sheet so I can look it over as well.

What I provide

We'll be using a virtual tabletop called Owlbear Rodeo, custom tokens, and digital maps. I also offer assistance before the game via my Discord server where you can ask any questions you have leading up to the session. There will be music and voices too! This is gonna be a blast, and I guarantee you'll want to play again!

Gameplay details

I use periodic breaks, but players are free to use the bathroom or do whatever as needed. I ask for Lines and Veils to find out what you're comfortable with. At the end, we do Stars (things you enjoyed) and Wishes (things you'd like to see more of)!

How will character creation work

You'll need a level 1 character. For setting Ability Scores, use "Standard Array". Any additional questions you have can be asked directly on my Discord server, especially if you've never made a character before. For newbies, I gently discourage using D&D Beyond. While it can be a handy tool, it causes a lot of people to make characters without knowing how they actually function, and you end up like me, playing 7 years and not knowing what half the numbers on my character sheet even mean (I mean, now I do.)
