A D&D 5e One-Shot About Making Bad Decisions in the Face of Certain Death The premise is simple: You are going to face something you cannot defeat. Not probably can’t defeat. Not might be able to defeat. You are completely and spectacularly outmatched. This one-shot is inspired by Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! and is designed around the idea of throwing the party into an absolutely hopeless situation and seeing what happens. ⚔️ This is NOT a traditional heroic adventure. There is no expectation that the party will defeat the final threat. There may not even be a realistic way to survive. Instead, the goal is to create a fun, memorable, ridiculous, and occasionally heroic last stand where your decisions determine how your character faces the inevitable. Maybe you run. Maybe you fight. Maybe you come up with an absolutely insane plan. Maybe you spend your final moments arguing with the rest of the party about whose fault this was. Whatever happens, the goal is to have a great time. 🎲 About the DM I’ve been DMing for 2+ years and have experience running games through Discord and Owlbear. I’m also new-player friendly. You don’t need years of D&D experience to join. I’ll help explain rules and get you comfortable with the game as we go. 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ friendly The table is intended to be welcoming and respectful to everyone. Come ready to have fun, make questionable decisions, and embrace the chaos. ⚠️ Important Player Expectation Character death is not only possible, it is expected. This adventure is specifically built around an overwhelming threat and the possibility of certain death. Please don’t bring a character you’ve spent months developing if permanent character death would ruin the experience for you. Bring a character you’re excited to play, roll some dice, make some memories, and see how long you can keep the inevitable at bay.

Looking for adventurers! Have you always wanted to try D&D but never had the chance? Or are you a seasoned adventurer looking for a relaxed, story-focused table? I’m looking for players to join me for Lost Mine of Phandelver, a classic D&D 5e adventure filled with exploration, roleplay, dungeon delving, and plenty of opportunities for your characters to become the heroes of the story. 🎲 About the Game * System: D&D 5e * Adventure: Lost Mine of Phandelver * Experience Level: Beginners absolutely welcome! * Table: 18+ * GM Experience: 2 years * Style: Rule of Cool > Rules As Written * Tone: Adventure, exploration, roleplay, comedy, and classic fantasy * LGBTQ+ Friendly: 🏳️‍🌈 Everyone is welcome at my table I’m a relatively laid-back GM who cares more about everyone having a great time than stopping the game every five minutes to consult a rulebook. If something makes sense for the story and doesn’t completely break the game, I’m usually willing to roll with it. Creativity is encouraged. If you have an idea that isn’t explicitly covered by the rules, tell me what you’re trying to do and we’ll figure it out together. 🌟 New Players Welcome Never played D&D before? That’s completely fine. I’ll help you learn the basics as we play, explain rules when they come up, and give you room to learn without feeling like you’re being tested. You don’t need to know what every action, bonus action, reaction, spell slot, or mysterious collection of numbers on your character sheet means before we start.

Hello everyone, I'm Winter! I am back with another game idea, this time inspired by psychological horror and an RNG concept I've had. I'm running a special Halloween horror one-shot and looking for a group of players who want to dive into a tense, atmospheric nightmare with me while becoming over-the-table friends along the way. Below you will find the relevant story information, gameplay expectations, and what I am looking for in players. Story Distress letters were sent across the realm for help after a city's own forces were completely wiped out by an unknown threat. the source of the catastrophe has been traced back to a grand, historic hotel in the heart of the city. When you step inside, you realize the horror is much worse than you imagined. the hotel itself seems to be breathing. the walls are warm, the pipes groan like they are in pain, and every single time you open a door, the room itself shifts and changes, pulling from a randomized reality of deadly traps and encounters. you must navigate this shifting labyrinth, uncover what is happening to this building, save the city, and survive the night. Gameplay This will be a serious, narrative-focused dnd 5e horror one-shot built on an unpredictable RNG core. the main mechanic at play within the hotel is a randomized table of pre-generated rooms. when you open a door, your rolls will determine what you face next from a master list of designed encounters, running through a limited but highly intense selection. the potential for encounters includes a mix of combat against various monsters, dangerous traps, and psychological tests. while the oneshot isn't designed to completely wipe the party, it is meant to be challenging. The encounters range from moderately difficult to incredibly deadly, so please come in with the understanding that player character death is a very real possibility. you will need to take every room seriously and manage your resources carefully if you want to avoid dying before you even reach the final boss at the very end. restorative and healing magic is deeply corrupted inside these walls—attempting to use healing magic will actually deal necrotic damage directly to the caster. you will need to rely on your wits, your resources, and your party to survive. Character Creation & Safety Characters will be at level 5, and we will be using Standard Array for stats. We are using the DND 5e 2014 system. Since this is a dark psychological horror game involving intense themes and unsettling environments, safety at the table is incredibly important to me, so I have included a section for everyone to note 'triggers' if you have any in the application. If you are applying, please be comfortable with mature, terrifying environments! Details We will play over discord using roll20. I am in PST, but any North American timezone (PST/MT/CT/EST) is preferred. The session will take place on 10/31/26, Halloween day! The exact time of day itself is flexible and will be decided based on player availability. players must be 20+. As a dm, I love running serious, story-focused games with strong character investment. I know it can be hard to build massive character arcs or deep player bonds in a single evening, but I really enjoy tailoring games for people who appreciate roleplay and a serious tone over a mindless, arcade-style dungeon crawl. I have been DMing for a few years now, so I am not the most experienced. More than anything, I am looking for players who want to be friends beyond the table itself. I appreciate dnd the most when the table feels close, like true friends. Since this is just a one-shot, the time to build that bond during the session is limited of course, but I am specifically looking for people who genuinely want to stay friends after the game is over—whether that's through gaming together or just chilling in a vc. If you are a player who appreciates this style of game and actively wants to build a friendship, please apply below or message me for the application! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCnwEwJ4t9qGuD1XiF-hSHf5mg5KkgDm38sAUC_bA2RNhxVw/viewform
