Advent's Amazing Advice

The Wild Sheep Chase

Added 2022-08-08 20:55:09 +0000 UTC

Sometimes, you just don't want to prep. Sometimes, you get a last-minute call to run a session. Maybe it's your first time DMing, and you don't know where to start.

Whatever the reason, prep may seem like a mountain to climb. Well, allow me to help you! I remember when I was first trying to figure everything out, and I stumbled across The Wild Sheep Chase by Winghorn Press. It's a fantastic One-Shot that you can get for free over on the DMsguild. The only issue can sometimes be how do I convert this pdf into an actual session?

Some DMs have a gift; they can read it once and go from there; some are masters at improv, storytelling, and off-the-cuff humor. Well, I, unfortunately, don't fit that boat, and I'm sure many others out there are just like me. I need a ton of notes; because once I've got things organized, then I feel comfortable taking things in new directions.

I like my games to be filled with ambiance, music, handouts, printed or drawn maps, etc. I want all my encounters neatly organized too. Well, thanks to my obsession, I can make your lives a whole lot easier! Onboarding new DMs should be easy, and I hope with this, I can help grease the wheels!

*Average Session Length: 4-5hrs

Without further ado:

Included in The AAA Collection is:

Downloadable copy of DM Notes, including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights
(New) DM Notes for the Visually Impaired
Special PDFs for all the encounters. This includes all the enemies' stat blocks organized neatly, along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP.
A complete spell list for Noke, which gives full details so you're not bouncing around for info.
A map of Shinebrights tower. I use this as a reference when drawing out the map for my players (Credit: Gogots, uchideshi34, Purrcelot/Tim)
A handout for The Scroll of Speak with Animals

I hope this helps! If you have any advice on how I can improve this further, please let me know here or leave a comment on the Google doc itself!

Cheers,
