' Sorrow's Ruin' by Blaise Wigglesworth is an introductory adventure for 1st level players that involves the rescue of a small town cleric from the worshippers of an evil god. Looking for an easy introduction to a larger campaign? There are plenty of great one-shot adventures designed to give players an easy way to bring a party together and push them towards a common goal.

Players are tasked by a village to stop a red dragon from destroying their town, but things (of course) are a little more complicated than it seems.

If you're looking for an adventure that involves a dragon, you should check out ' Dragon on the Mount' by Jordan Peterson. This adventure contains multiple suspects, a classic twist, and a good ol' fashioned showdown with the real murderer at its conclusion. Players need to solve a series of murders in the small town of Graymoor, but they quickly learn that the murders aren't as straightforward as they originally appear. ' Moon Over Graymoor' is a classic murder mystery by S. This adventure puts a party in the path of an alluring triton who is harboring a dark secret and is attempting to obtain a powerful magic item. I like 'Hunted' because it features some subversions of expectations and reminds players that not all monsters are evil.Īnother adventure that offers up a mix of mystery and combat is ' Shore of Dreams' by Florian Emmerich and JVC Parry. Players have to determine whether it was a nearby troop of orcs, a wild dire wolf pack, or something else entirely that is causing the chaos around the small village. ' Hunted' by Tony Petrecca is an interesting adventure that involves players investigating a series of attacks on livestock in a small village. Sometimes that means pushing players to solve a mystery, or explore a dungeon, or solve a simple problem that becomes more complex as they start to dig into it. One of the best uses of a one-shot is to introduce players to what Dungeons & Dragons is all about.
