The Spirits of the Desert|| A Ghibli Inspired Adventure

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

The World of Akroma is filled with spirits...During the age of symphonies, you can hear their songs throughout the forests, the seas, and the arctic tundra. The one place that you do not hear the songs is the desert...In the small town of Stromas the spirits that have been worshiped by the townsfolk for centuries have begun to run amok! A Communion of spirits has been called and jobs have been sent out to all nearby job boards run by the official Guild as well as the Sage's Army to get the best professionals to run and protect these communions. Will you answer the call? Will you find the source of these problems? Find your job on the boards and See how you can help! In this Ghibli inspired world you will be interacting with the armies of mages, the spirits that govern the magics, and the Gods that protect them. Will you answer the call? This will be a level 7 Adventure, feel free to grab yourself the base equipment for your class and an Uncommon Magical Item. Please use Rolling, Standard Array or Point buy to determine your stats. Feel free to dm me any questions that you have about the game.

Really good GM - could tell they were excited and knowledgeable about the system, allowed for a lot of player creativity, and embraced the Rule of Cool. I also really enjoyed the custom setting and felt myself asking for more!

This was an amazing one-shot! They provided lots of opportunity for role play and helped a group of strangers get comfortable with each other very quickly. Combat was a ton of fun with lots of opportunity to play off of other characters to make some really cool things happen.

Dylan/Alex is a great DM and made a really enjoyable set of adjustments to their one shot as our group of silly people wandered about playing games before jumping into things; indulged our shenanigans when we had class abilities to back them up and made things very interesting! Thanks for letting me play my lil spoodie!

I played one of them's one shots and I was beyond happy. Great voice acting, great story, and they even had side quests for us (carnival games). I wil be on the lookout for more one shots posted by them in the future.
