Christmas is an excellent time of yr. It is filled with reunions, sizzling chocolate, presents, and organisational stress. Most individuals are slowed down with journey plans, events, presents, reward wrapping, and the like—which is a little bit of a stressor for us DMs, who’re already perpetually organising one thing for our gamers.
Fortunately, there’s going to be a wealth of free stuff to re flavour this month, since D&D and Kobold Press each occurred to have the very same concept to provide away free stuff in a TTRPG introduction calendar. My one-shots are saved! Additionally, much less importantly, Christmas.
D&D’s model of that is doled out through D&D Past’s “12 days of D&D”. Whereas it’s technically free, be suggested you may nonetheless should fork over your bank card particulars for causes past my ken. Nonetheless, on the time of writing, there are three (digital) cube units, in addition to the adventures Giants of the Star Forge, Uni and the Hunt for the Misplaced Horn, the primary chapter of Adventures from the Radiant Citadel, and a compendium of 11 creatures from Dragonlance.
Over on Kobold Press, the charmingly-named ADVENTure Calendar has been giving adventures for each D&D 5e and the press’s personal Tales of the Valiant RPG—which is fifth version appropriate anyway, extra like a customized homebrew guidelines compendium with its personal subclasses than its personal system. It is giving these out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this month.
Whereas I am unable to converse to the standard of this materials myself—I am a grimy homebrewer before everything, even when I’m tempted to run a Curse of Strahd marketing campaign—it is a lot of stuff you are getting for mainly free. Even when you’re not going to run these adventures or dietary supplements rules-as-written, you’ll be able to at all times do what I do: Chew by them like a fiend possessed and copy-paste the monster statblocks into your hastily-cobbled-together oneshot doc.
D&D’s freebie fest lasts till December 15, whereas Kobold’s lasts till December 25, so you may wish to embark on the arduous job of downloading these PDFs earlier than they return to being stuff you may should pay for. Or you’ll be able to keep juggling your familial duties and Sisyphean tabletop labours, the selection is yours.
