Thank you so much! That's exactly why I do what I do, the more DMs out there the more awesome games for everyon!

Haha nice, that alone might help get your players into D&D!

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!!!

Hands down one of the best! I've run it over 3 times to introduce people or test em out before a campaign!

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!

My Intent is to get as many new DMs as possible and make things a whole lot scary for them when they start!

There definitely are other systems, but this is a dnd community and Baldurs Gate 3 is based off of D&D as well, so most people would be looking for something similar!

Granted I do agree that there are a ton of awesome other systems out there, but I find D&D to be the gateway drug that leads to many other places!

I posted it separately in different communities?

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?

I just finished prepping a One-Shot based on Kiki's delivery service that's meant for a DM and 1 Player! I'll be testing it out in a week or two, just thought I'd let you know!!! Even if you've never seen the movie it's pretty fun!

Haha ya i get it, sometimes you've just gotta let your players know. You worked on prepping a session and it's fine if they want to do crazy things, but they need to give you a heads up and not go straight murderhobo all the time! 🤣

100% agree, I've run this at least 3 times and it's always so exciting to see what the players come up with!

Wow, that's ridiculous 🤣 What did you end up doing?

Very nice and great adjusting on the fly for an epic encounter!!!

Oh my god, that is such a cool story! It's crazy things like this why I love D&D!!!

You're welcome and same, I always use this one for new players it was actually the first ever One-Shot I ran!

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!
