D&D Fifth Edition isn’t JUST for epic campaigns! It’s a great system for building smaller, more manageable adventures, and this week the Beyond the Material team will walk you through the key elements to designing a good one-shot experience. They also talk about some of the best reasons to mix one-shots into your game rotation, and share their best one-shot experiences. PLUS a scandalous revelation from Stephen’s past, AND a new design idea of the week: The Beast Whisperer feat, for the character who wants a pet but doesn’t mess around with arcane magic.
