Welcome to Advent’s Amazing Advice! I take popular One-Shots and Campaigns and fully prep them for New and Busy DMs. This prep includes ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible!
Oh no that’s the worst, ya time/scheduling issues are the biggest killer of D&D. Fingers crossed you get a chance to do it again!
I appreciate your feedback! When I make my post, the DM Notes are completely free and able to be used by anyone! The additional One-Shots are a mix of Free and Patron content, but I offer a preview of all of it which can also be used as a starting point for those who need it! I also talk about my Patreon in the last paragraph. I’ll try to make it clearer in the future that this is for D&D since we’re on a RPG section and not a D&D specific one. Thanks again!
Cheers, Advent
Thanks, hope the prep helps! If you ever get a chance, 100% run wild sheep chase again, even if it’s with new people, it’s one of my all-time favorites!
Thank you, hope my notes and prep help!
Thank you so much! That’s exactly why I do what I do, the more DMs out there the more awesome games for everyon!
Haha nice, that alone might help get your players into D&D!
You’re welcome, I’m super happy to hear that too, It’s the whole reason I make these, I really want DMing to be as accessible as possible!
Just be careful those who aren’t interested don’t ruin it for those who are! Keep us posted on how your game goes, I’m super curious!!!
Oh wow so 7 players total, that’s quite a bit, especially for a first-time DM, I usually don’t recommend more than 5. I pick 5 because if one player bails then you have 4 which to me is the perfect number! Having a ton of players can really draw out fights and for social encounters can leave people out of the limelight.
DMing can certainly be a lot of work but it’s real rewarding and hey guess what If your players love it you can always use any of these resources for future sessions!
100% agree that balancing encounters can be difficult! One tip is that you can take a look at other One-Shots/Adventures that are already balanced and around the level you’re looking for and use those!
I posted it separately in different communities?
There are different people in each community, wouldn’t I want to reach the largest audience possible? I may be confused, but isn’t this similar to Reddit in the sense that each of them are subreddits and different from each other?
I just finished prepping a One-Shot based on Kiki’s delivery service that’s meant for a DM and 1 Player! I’ll be testing it out in a week or two, just thought I’d let you know!!! Even if you’ve never seen the movie it’s pretty fun!
You’re welcome, always glad to help! This was actually the first ever One-Shot I ran and it’s my go-to for new players!
I would say 3-4 people, but there’s only 1 fight so you can take a look at that and adjust it to make it good with just about any amount of people!
Do it, it’s so rewarding! I know it can overwhelming at first, but with my notes, it’ll be a breeze!!! The most important thing is just be flexible, your players will often times throw a curve ball. If you get stuck just look up a rule, if it takes to long make a ruling and move on!
Thank you! It should take about 3hrs, but since this One-Shot leans more on the roleplay aspect it can change depending on your players. I’m pretty sure you can get this done in a weekend unless you’re running 1hr sessions!
If you end up using my notes, let me know how it goes and if I should change anything
Cheers, Advent
Thank you for the kind words, always happy to help!!!
No worries and thank you so much, I’m glad that I can help! I look forward to seeing you around, have a wonderful week!!!
You’re very welcome, I hope you have a blast and if you find anything that can be improved with my notes please let me know!
If you look up The homebrewery you should find out how to create in that style!
Cheers!
