Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped...have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you're one of the legendary few who have, why don't you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary one!
I get it, DMing for the first time can be scary, you might not even know where to start. The prep alone can seem like a mountain to climb. You find a cool-looking One-Shot open the PDF or book and just think to yourself, how in the heck do I turn this into an actual session?
Well, I've got you covered! I want as many people out there as possible to experience the Amazing world of D&D and most importantly DMing! I've taken the following One-Shots and Mini-Campaigns and fully prepped them so you can run an unforgettable session with ease! The best part, all of it's free for you to use!
Let's dive in:
A Most Potent Brew: This One-Shot brings together a group of rookie adventurers on a classic quest; clearing out a cellar from some rats. Things take an unexpected turn though and lead them to their first dungeon! This level-one One-Shot will take your players into the depths of a brewery, that turns out to be connected to an abandoned mage tower basement. Will your players survive their first adventure slaying giant rats, centipedes, and more?
Coming in at approximately 2-3 hours of play, this is the perfect one shot for both new players and DMs to show what D&D is all about, without being an overwhelming 6hr+ session!

The Wild Sheep Chase: This One-Shot is on par with some of the craziness that you can experience in Baldur's Gate 3! Your party will be enjoying a relaxing time at a tavern when a sheep suddenly bursts in and grants them a scroll that allows them to speak with each other. Your players will go on an epic chase, face off against polymorphed guards, and even fight a dragon...made out of a bed!? You can't make this stuff up...oh wait!

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle: This Mini-Campaign is for when you're ready to step things up and want a more serious Adventure. You'll go from level 1-3 learn of the history of Stormwreack Isle and face off against...you guessed it a dragon!

The Lost Mine of Phandelver: This Mini-Campaign spans from levels 1-5, the only thing past this would be a full-blown campaign, but let's not get ahead of ourselves! This one is a classic, the very first starter set that WotC released and it stands the test of time, Heck, they're making an expansion for it coming out later this month! You'll face not 1 but 2 dragons, explore deadly dungeons, save a town, and live out all of your heroic fantasies! When you've done a one-shot or two I couldn't recommend running this more!

Ehh. I appreciate the spirit of your intent, I think.
I am going to mildly be a party pooper and remind would be players there are other systems than DND.
DND is extremely idiosyncratic. Not every game is. Some games are much simpler. Fate Accelerated, lots of pbta games, and arguably a lot of osr games I don't know well.
But if you're interested you should try to give something a shot. Some of my favorite memories and stories have come from RPGs with friends.
My Intent is to get as many new DMs as possible and make things a whole lot scary for them when they start!
There definitely are other systems, but this is a dnd community and Baldurs Gate 3 is based off of D&D as well, so most people would be looking for something similar!
Granted I do agree that there are a ton of awesome other systems out there, but I find D&D to be the gateway drug that leads to many other places!
I just worry that because DND is so very DND, it acts like a filter. Lots of people bounce off of it and never play anything else because they think DND is representative.
But you did post a lot of stuff and to a DND community, so I'm not downvoting you.
Baldur's gate is based around 5th. If someone doesnt know about TTRPG and likes BG3 recommending them Call of Chtulu seems like someone failed their Perception check and think its someone else in front of them.
Oh god, my table had an absolute hoot with Wild Sheep Chase, DM included. Highly recommended.
Indeed. One of my times with it they left the "sheep" in an ambush hole unconscious and came back later to find an old peasant getting ready to roast it.
I was the DM of course
Hands down one of the best! I've run it over 3 times to introduce people or test em out before a campaign!
