This week on Beyond the Material, get a unique peek into the madness of adventure design! The team follows up on a promise from the previous episode, and designs a one-shot adventure live on the recording. It’s got combat, puzzles, traps, special mechanics, and just to spice things up even more, Zach, Drej and Stephen all choose special conditions that MUST be satisfied by the design of the one-shot adventure. Listen to the structure of the adventure unfold on the podcast, then download and play it at your own table!
