Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

Come play a weekly one-shot! Each week we play a third party publisher adventure for D&D... My Weekly one shot offers a good adventure each week or show up and play when you can! It's an amazing series...play it and see why. This week it's a print through some challenging encounters. My welcoming community of gamers meet and go on missions together! Come play with us. Each session will be a separate mission. Play each week, bi-weekly or when you can.

Recruiting notes

The tomb of an ancient hero, lost in the tangle depths of the woods. A ring of standing stones, warded by the sinister Drune. A fairy princess who watches with timeless patience from beyond the veil of the mortal. A forgotten treasure that holds the key to her heart. Come play a romantic fairytale dungeon adventure for characters of the First to Third level. It will be losely based in Dolmenwood but reimagined in the European Dark Ages. The game setting will be Jack Vance's mythical Elder Isles located west of France and southwest of Britain, a generation or two before the birth of King Arthur.

How to prepare

The Theater of the Mind (audio portion of the adventure) will occur on Discord supplemented by images and battle maps as needed. You will need an account on Discord. Access to the dedicated server will be open prior to the game. Owlbear Rodeo may be used. No subscription is necessary. Some players also enjoy the background music and effects of Syrinscape. A free account is now required for you to log into the site. Once you have the free account, a pregame link will provide you the immersive sounds. While fun, the music and sounds are not required. Characters will be made or provided on D&DBeyond. Pre-made characters are always available. Players will make characters during session zero; or, we can make one prior to the game session. A pre-made character can be provided.

What I provide

I am bringing decades of games experience, a robust community, in depth characterisation and the flexibility to adapt to player styles and choices. Character creation is on D&DBeyond. Or premade characters can be provided. The narrative is supplemented with images and maps on the Discord Server. Access to Battle maps and tokens will be open on Owlbear Rodeo. No account is needed by the player.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a fast paced combat and a rules light gaming experience. The content warnings will vary depending on the game choice, but it is highly likely the game will have levels of violence involving player characters and non-player characters, with death always being a possibility. SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. Additional breaks are always available on request. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.

How will character creation work

Pre-made characters are available or can also be made with me on Discord (scheduled live session or via message) using D&DBeyond. You do not need to know anything about character creation, how the game works, or anything about the game. We can cover all of this together. I will send you an invite to the campaign on D&D Beyond and Discord.
