Hey, everyone my name is Advent, and I run a Patreon called Advent's Amazing Advice! I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc., and fully prep them for New and Busy DMs. My prep includes detailed notes, music, ambiance, maps, encounter sheets, handouts, and tweaks so you can run the best sessions with the least stress possible!
I've been working on Advent's Amazing Advice for well over a year now! Thanks to all the support of my Patrons, I'm finally in the position where I can add someone to the team to lighten the load of prepping! With their assistance, I'll be able to expand the ways I can help everyone!
In order to find the perfect person, I'm creating a contest. The rules are simple. The person who can prep a One-Shot in a style most similar to mine will be the winner. I'll be judging this based on the following:
Main Criteria
- Formatting: How close you can match my style
- Improvements: Includes additions; as well as flow, ease of use, etc.
- Music Selection: Picking the perfect tracks to match each scene (*Create a YouTube playlist)
- Including additional resources: ie. maps, handouts, encounters sheets, etc. (Be sure to properly credit)
- Packaging: Delivering the Prep the same way I would (ie. Folder Organization)
The One-Shot that contestants will be working on will be The Delian Tomb. I've chosen this one because it's short, has multiple versions, and is made for beginners to D&D. How you choose to prep will allow me to see how well you can get into the mind of a new DM; ensuring they have all the tools at their disposal to run an Amazing session!!!
Not only will the winner be joining the team*, but there will be prizes! Additionally, if 2nd and 3rd place impress me enough with their quality, they might just find themselves being called up to collaborate in the future!
Prizes
- 1st - $100 and have your prep featured on Advent's Amazing Advice
- 2nd - $50
- 3rd - $25
Deadline - 1/15/24

I can't wait to see how this turns out and I'm so excited to have the chance to be able to do something like this. Thank you all so much, without you, I could never have imagined coming this far! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask!
Cheers,
Advent
* Joining the team is contingent on producing high-quality content and being a person others would want to work with!
Of course and thanks so much for asking, looks like I have a bit of updating to my posts so that I can make things as clear as possible, here's the gist though!
The job itself is basically doing the exact thing that's being done for the contest! Prepping popular One-Shots and Adventures.
I'm offering the same amount that I charge for commissions, so $100 for each One-Shot Prepped; with up to a bonus $100 for each completed project based on how closely the person can match my style. If the person is good enough, then they'll eventually receive a percentage of all profits from Advent's Amazing Advice! Payment is via Venmo, but other ways can be worked out if needed! The work is online/commission based so nationality isn't an issue.
For Content Production/Hours, I'm looking for someone who can prep between 1-2 One-Shots a month, you can choose when, where, and how to complete the work! I'll be guiding the person to match my style and be there to help with anything that pops up along the way. I'll still be prepping other One-Shots and Campaigns as well and expanding new ways to help people!
As for judging, that will be done by me the creator of Advent's Amazing Advice; since I'm looking for someone who can match my style specifically. Only I will be able to see the work and only the winners will get a post on my Patreon!
Hope that helps answer your questions, if you have any more just let me know, I'm only a message away!
Cheers, Advent
