I made this oneshot as a way to introduce Dungeons & Dragons to people who have never played D&D or any other tabletop roleplaying games before. I’ve built an entire custom tavern for this game for fun, but you can run it with regular dungeon tiles or simply theatre of the mind. Summary The heroes […]
As we have just finished our D&D campaign that has run since 2021 with 45 sessions spread over 100 hours, I have decided to run a mini campaign of an entirely different character, that of Lovecraftian horror! But I know asking my players to learn a full new rule system like Call of Cthulhu would […]
Most adventurers die having chosen a life of seeking fame and fortune. Some become powerful kings, queens and even gods. But a few adventurers simply live a long, successful life gathering some riches and some renown and by and large stay out of serious harm’s way. These few individuals retire living the remainder of their […]
This lvl 2 oneshot was inspired by this lvl 13 oneshot called “Krampus’ Lair”. You meet in a tavern It is dark, cold and winter time. The party meets in the Singing Salmon to reminisce over the year’s adventuring, when they cozy talks are interrupted by a drunk and crying woman by the bar. She […]
One rare occasions there is a game where it is not that great for neither players or Dungeon Master. My execution of this oneshot, is unfortunately a good example of it. it wasn’t so terrible people walked away from the table, but neither was it littered with cheers and applause. I use these game diaries […]
This article was actually originally about how to create a D&D encounter from a different angle, and it still is, but it also became a life saver i our latest campaign game as 2 out of 5 players had to cancel the very last minute. The thing is, we are in the endgame of our […]
I’ve had the rough outline for this oneshot for some time, but it wasn’t until I saw the encounter “The Minotaur Bridge (pdf)” on Runehammer’s Patreon (that I can highly recommend btw), that the pieces fell in place. The adventure is made for D&D 5th edition for a lvl 2 party of 3-5 players. A quick […]
Last year I made a oneshot for a couple of old friends. I was quite happy with it and when Bad Moon Cafe opened up nearby, I decided to run the same adventure again and I’ve now run it twice. Here are some photos of the two sessions. 07 Feb 2019 This game was very […]
The last campaign session we played, neatly wrapped up 2018 as a season, so for the last D&D game of the year, I made this Christmas Oneshot called “Gnome More Mr Nice Guy1” inspired by these these absolutely fantastic Gnomes from Northumbrian Tin Soldier. Below is how the game went, but if you are a Dungeon Master […]
Not entirely sure how this happened, but I was chatting to the two friends I’ve known the longest (30+ years by now) about getting together in Denmark and somehow it turned into: Let’s play a D&D oneshot Now, the two of them have very different backgrounds in roleplaying games: One used to play D&D and […]
Having played a spin-off game with one of my players and his kids who both knew Dungeons and Dragons already, I made a second game for same team + one of my other players and his two sons as well: The Kidnapping at Dragonspeak! To make it easier for the boys who hadn’t played before, […]
I had one of my player’s and his family over for lunch last Sunday and last minute, he asked whether I fancied running a mini-adventure for him and his young son and daughter. He would be using his main character, Feather, the Cleric, who just hit level 3, and the kids would use the characters […]
