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!
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!
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?
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!!!
Thank you! Well, the short of it is that depending on the tier you sign up for, you’ll be able to download a certain amount of previously released One-Shots or Adventures every month. All the files are hosted on google drive, so when a patron requests access I can approve them! That prevents the issue you’re talking about! You can find the finer details in my Index and FAQ
There is a way to access all the content though, I just recently added yearly memberships, and anyone who becomes a yearly legend will get 2 months free, unlock everything I’ve ever made, and all upcoming content for the next year along with 6 exclusive fully prepped One-Shots that are being released Bi-Monthly!
Hope that answers all your questions, If you’re curious about anything else just let me know!
Haha nice, that alone might help get your players into D&D!
