[Poll] What One-Shot Should I Prep Next?
Added 2023-09-21 22:21:55 +0000 UTC
You all did it even faster than I could have imagined, I'm speechless! In just over a month we reached our next milestone and a massive one at that! I didn't know if I'd ever be able to see us reach $1,000 a month, but here we are! Only $160 more and I'll officially be making minimum wage in the US. Not enough to live on yet, but if we keep this up I can make this my full-time job, eventually hire people, and create even more prep for all of my Amazing Patrons!!!
This is a huge step forward and I want to do something big; so here's what you can expect for the month of October: A fully prepped Halloween One-Shot, A Session of Curse of Strahd Prepped, A secret bonus One-Shot prepped and a One-Shots that will be voted on by you all! So take a look below and let your voices be heard!
That's not all, I want to do something wild...I want to bring Advent to life...how you may ask? Well, only time will tell. This will be a more difficult task, but you heard it hear first, so keep a close eye out on the future of Advent's Amazing Advice!
Now onto the One-shots:

- This level 10 One-shot takes place in the Raging Bull District in Waterdeep. A young noble is found dead a block away from Nabulee’s Bazaar of the Extraordinary. Everything suggests that Nabulee was neglectful and left his scarab of death unattended, which ultimately led to the death of the noble. But how did the cursed brooch find its way out of Nabulee’s impenetrable vault in the first place? And why doesn’t Nabulee remember taking it out? Will your players solve this mystery before the noble’s vengeful father has Nabulee beheaded?
- This is a level 5-7 Asian pirate-themed One-Shot. Buried decades ago, the great treasure of the notorious Captain Jadescale is waiting at the Mistcliff. Though the exact location of the treasure is unknown, it’s said that the owner of the Shore of Dreams has clues about the location, although nothing is ever that straightforward when it comes to treasure. Can your players unearth the secrets of the treasure of Captain Jadescale or will they be undone by its mystery?
- This level 8 adventure is a classic, one that has been talked about for years and has been redone time and again. Three magical weapons have been stolen recently. Clues in the form of a poem lead those in power to believe the weapons have been brought to a volcano which was once the hideout of a powerful wizard named Keraptis. These are no mere magical weapons, but sentient artifacts. Can your players survive the perils of White Plume Mountain!
- This Level 9/15/20 One-Shot is from the brand new Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms Kickstarter. I took one look, saw a massive Kaiju boss battle, crazy magic items, and Loot Tavern Collab and couldn't help think you guys would love it! (If you vote for this one, let me know which party level you'd like me to prep for)
- In this One-Shot, after a river changes direction to flow uphill and floods an entire valley, your players will venture to several shrines in search of the water spirit responsible. You'll uncover the cyclical nature of Bakuryo (瀑瀧), the koi dragon, and brave churning, mud-filled waters to defeat or assuage the enraged water spirit.
- With Halloween fast approaching I thought why not prep a Halloween Themed One-Shot...which is why that's exactly what I'm doing, but I could only pick one. For those of you who want even more, here's The Liching Hour! Remember though, if this wins that'll be 2 Halloween One-Shots plus Curse of Strahd for October...plus a secret bonus one!
- In this level 5 One-Shot It'll be a race against the clock as your players must decide if they want to help or hinder a goblin necromancer's attempt to summon the Archlich Vecna to the town of Phandalin at midnight on Liar's Night.

- I want to hear directly from you! Name all the One-Shots you think would be awesome to run or that you have run and would like others to experience too.
- Leave a comment below with the name of a One-Shot and people can like your post, if your post receives more likes than any other, I'll work on prepping that one! Even if it doesn't work out, I'll add it to my list of One-Shots to check out and possibly work on in the future!
I'm so excited to see what you all decide! Words will never be enough to truly express how grateful I am to each and every one of you. Hearing about all your Amazing Adventures, how my notes have helped, how you can't wait for more, they all motivate me and push me to keep growing! Till our next Milestone!
Cheers,
Advent
