Learn to play D&D 5e (2024) while helping a little old lady!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
Want to learn to play D&D 5e while playing a fun and low-key adventure? During this session, you'll create your character and join up with your party in the woods. Beldok, an elderly goblin woman, lives in these very woods, and she is in need of groceries from the nearby village. However, the village has a problem with goblins, so she asks you to go in her place. Will you help this sweet elderly lady out while dealing with any trouble that might come your way? This will be a level 1 adventure for up to 4 players.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare
Here are some things you'll need to do ahead of the session: 1. Create an account on D&D Beyond if you don't have one. 2. Join the campaign via the link I'll share with you. 3. Join my Discord server and make sure you have a good internet connection and clear audio. 4. Think of some fun character concepts! 5. Complete my safety questionnaire.
What I provide
As a GM, I use D&D Beyond extensively and will create the campaign there while sharing some of my sourcebooks appropriate for the adventure and the group. I will also happily provide mood soundscapes and music should you want that! This session is designed for beginners and anyone who wants to build up their confidence in playing D&D before committing to a campaign, so we'll be building characters together and sticking to the more basic rules while allowing room for fun roleplay.
Gameplay details
I will send you a short questionnaire to complete ahead of the game that will explain my use of safety tools while asking you what your "lines and veils" are.

How will character creation work
Don't worry about creating a character ahead of time if you're not comfortable doing so! We'll discuss characters at the start of the session, so just come with some ideas for us to play off. We'll stick to the races and classes found in the core rulebooks, which will be shared with you in the campaign on D&D Beyond. I like to use Standard Array or Point Buy for stats, which keeps things relatively fair and balanced.
