2007-12-12 One Shot

I might run a one-shot on December 23. What should I do?

I could try and run a crazy ZorcererOfZo game using Fudge dice. Or I could use M20. But what kind of adventure should I run? I faintly remember GreyWulf having a favorite first level adventure from the Wizards of the Coast website. But I can’t remember its name. Something like that?

M20

GreyWulf

I remember having tried running Slave Raiders Of Rockwall by Bert the Ogre at a convention in Germany. It didn’t work too well because the adventure was unsuitable for a one-shot.

That’ll be The Burning Plague. Fun, simple and very, very easy to GM.

The Dungeon Crawl Classic series by Goodman Games are pretty good for one-shots. You can probably finish one in a marathon 8-10 hr session.

Hm. I have one of them (DCC ​#10: The Sunless Garden), but it did look longer than a single session game. Then again, 10h would be the equivalent of two sessions, so perhaps it would work. Start at 12:00 and keep playing...

I agree with greywulf, The Burning Plague is pretty solid and interesting. Looking Glass Deep is also not bad, I adapted it for use as a side adventure in my old Arcana Evolved game.

Wizards also updated a few classic modules to 3.5E, like Tomb of Horrors and White Plume Mountain.
