The simple life| a calm day

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

Welcome to this one shot in my west marches style fishing campaign. In this one shot you and your fishing buddies will have the day to yourself and decide to go to the shores to enjoy yourselves. This is a slice of life game where we don't really battle monsters or explore dungeons, its just a slice of how average people live in a magical city. If you have already played in a one shot that starts with "A simple life" you can bring that same character into this one! Making use of the rule source called "Why slay dragons when you could be fishing?". In this one shot you and your fellow Anglers are going to live through another calm day where you all go about fishing in this wholesome slice of life game.

Joined up for a day of fishing with some delightful characters! Had a ton of fun with the mechanics and am looking forward to joining another session if it pops up again. The DM was engaging and made sure shenanigans ensued with or without the fish. Lots of cool artwork too!

A fantastic game master. Allows for the players to be creative. Calm and easy going, explains the rules and the systems clearly. Would recommend playing with Michael from Mars.

So very accommodating to those who bring unique ideas to the table! I came with a very unique concept and he knocked it out of the park, even able to integrate me mid-campaign so smoothly! Mars runs a very friendly and energetic table and encourages everyone to make connections to the world and with each other.
