The Wizard's Tower Brewing co.- "A most potent brew" ONESHOT APL 1 (Average Party Level)

About the adventure

What is a oneshot? One time dungeon to get your DnD fix without having to commit to months of a drawn out campaign. This is the spirit of DnD and the core of what makes the game fun; you can drop into a quick dungeon to test out a build and just enjoy a fun night with everyone and meet new people! Hook: The Wizard's tower brewing Co. - a craft brewery known for its hoppy summer ales - is in dire need of help from a band of reliable, affordable adventurers. The owner has posted a job on the local notice boards and is calling in favors from friendly innkeepers all over town to spread the word. This is a great entry level game for new players as it touches all pillars of play and facilitates an easy going environment.

Additional Details

How to prepare

I (the DM) will be using a webcam and mic; I only require a mic from my players. Roll20 is where we will be playing and would like all players to roll in chat for everyone to see. All questions being asked before the session starts is important as we will not be having a "session 0." I also would like all character sheets to be filled out before the start time as to not make other players wait. DND beyond is ok to use with roll20 but I would prefer roll20 for everything to cut down on cheating (this game will be medium difficulty and I do not see the need for min/maxing although it is allowed at the table).

What I provide

I have many books, modules, tokens, art packs, etc bought from the Roll20 store; the assets I use in my games are not stolen and I run a very high quality/polished game (with roll20 pro account). I have music and fully lit maps and GIFs in game. I spend anywhere between 5-30 hours preparing all sessions. I take pride in complicated/expensive set pieces.

Gameplay details

There will be a mix of all three pillars in this oneshot; 40% combat, 30% exploration, social interaction 30%. The overall difficulty of this game is about a "medium" using the DMG combat rating system; this is great for new players despite being APL 1.
