My regular weekly D&D game was on hiatus for a month because of random adult things. A familiar story, I’m sure. Our group is small, so even one player not able to make it generally means that we can’t play. Usually that’s fine, but occasionally the absences stack up and we miss a whole bunch…

As per tradition, I’ve written another D&D one-shot adventure for my friends. I recently had the pleasure (or displeasure?) to watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, The Pumaman. It was hilariously bad (good?) and I wanted to somehow capture its glory into an adventure. This is what came from it. I hope you enjoy……

Young friends in a war-torn nation receive an urgent letter from their erstwhile schoolmate whose mother has vanished. When they arrive, they find their friend has also disappeared into an abandoned tower in the woods, inhabited by nothing but birds. Do you like D&D adventures? How about Studio Ghibli movies?

I went on a trip to hang out with my co-workers this February and ran a one-shot D&D game for them. Having just read the fabulous Six of Crows I was in the mood for a heist. Coincidentally, just a few weeks later, Wizards was going to release a whole book on the topic but…

I wrote this one-shot D&D adventure to share with my co-workers on a recent work meetup; it was the first in several years! I now share it with you all. It takes about 3 hours from start to finish and requires very little experience on the part of the players. For the DM, the adventure…

Every year I write a D&D one-shot game for my friends and co-workers at the Automattic Grand Meetup. This year’s adventure was titled “Unusual Things” and has a certain… upside down feeling to it. I hope you like it! Here’s the blurb: Nothing much happens in the mountaintop town of Hawkurns, where the populace mines…

Another D&D one-shot I wrote, this one was run for my co-workers in Rome! Two powerful countries have been at peace for twenty years thanks to the actions of the mysterious Candlemane Family, who created The Box of Souls, a weapon so fearsome that both sides were forced to disarm. However, something strange is happening…

As has become tradition, every year I design and run a one-shot Dungeons & Dragons game for my co-workers at our annual gathering. This year I was heavily inspired by my experiences playing Breath of the Wild and I wanted to try to re-create that particular “Zelda” feeling in D&D. I’d love to have done…
