D&D introduction at work - one shot ideas needed! (lemmy.world)

Hi lemmings,

I've been asked to do DM a D&D introduction one-shot at work. I work in IT, and there are - as expected - a few nerds who are interested in dipping their toes in the warm TTRPG waters.

I've already run "The Wild Sheep Chase" (revised to be compatible with level 1 characters) in the past, to great success. But they want more!

Have you run short 2-3 hour one-shot adventures? Care to share them with me? I'm not against shopping around on the DM's Guild either, but there's ALOT. So I figured I could ask you guys to give me some pointers!

The YouTube channel Pointy Hat recently had their 100,000 sub special on the Feywild. They created a short adventure (1-2 sessions, obo 3-4 hours each) set in the Feywild. The video it's attached to is kind of long (~40 min) but is an excellent look at the Feywild. The actual portion covering the adventure gives tips on running it as well. I've read it over and it's pretty well put together.

Video link in case you're interested. The adventure is in a link in the description.

Same goes for Ginny Di's Steal This Sidequest. It's shorter and easier to scale too.
