I made books of short one-shots to eliminate that stress DMs feel when they aren’t fully prepped.

I use a bullet point format, designed for quick absorption during a session. No need to study and make notes beforehand. Each adventure is on a two page spread, so you aren’t flipping around pages to find info. They are very information dense.

I varied the locations, type and plot so you’ll have an adventure to fit just about any situation. Most adventures are not combat oriented. Some include riddles, puzzles and handouts. Each adventure has side tabs, so you can quickly find the type of adventure you want in the middle of your session. Won’t be scrambling when the players go somewhere you didn’t plan for.

The adventures are system agnostic, so there are no stat blocks. You’ll need to look up the monsters in your system.

I worked hard to make each adventure very different from one another. I like to set up player expectations, and then use those expectations to surprise them. There are road ambushes with double twist endings, a gladiatorial battle where the enemies use the PCs own weapons against them, and a bard scroll, wrapped in a riddle, rolled up into a sea shanty. They’ve been selling well and I’ve been lucky to get amazing reviews.

Try an adventure out for yourself. Each book description includes one free adventure and instructions:

p.s. I believe people who buy printed RPG books should get the PDF for free, so if you buy from my website, I’ll send you a DTRPG link automatically. If you buy from a game store or Amazon, email me a copy of your receipt for the link.

    That’s great to read. Normally I post covers (which I think are all awesome, done by the amazing Jack Kaiser, who nails the mood perfectly), but I figured posting an actual one-shot would be more representative of the content. Glad to hear you appreciated it!
