The Hunt on Dinosaur Island

Dungeons & Dragons 3/3.5e, Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Pathfinder 1e, Pathfinder 2e on Roll20, Discord

About the adventure

This is a very light-hearted adventure with low stakes. No one is saving the world from a great cosmic evil - you are playing as characters that are learning about the world and their place within it, and experiencing their first taste of freedom and independence. There are no scheming villains or high tension political stand-offs to contend with. Most social encounters will be at the start of the adventure, but even the creatures on dinosaur island have their motives and may be persuaded by means other than violence. The combat in this adventure will involve interesting terrain challenges and goals beyond defeating the enemy creatures. This is a one-shot adventure of 3-4 hours. It can be extended to a three-session story, or be used as the start of a longer campaign.
