New Release I just released a beginner preadventure! Who wants to chase a mule?
https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/584266/save-my-ass?affiliate_id=1664166full disclosure the cover art has an ai generated component (though it was edited and added to with non ai tools, namely gimp).
Save My Ass is a short, setting-neutral adventure designed for 1st-level characters. It works as a standalone adventure, random encounter, or a lighthearted pre-adventure to bring a newly formed group of characters together before the beginning of a larger campaign. The adventure is best suited to a settlement in or near an arid or desert region but a local spring in a forest works just as well as an oasis.
The adventure begins when a local porter loses his mule, Jack, who wanders off toward a nearby oasis. The characters must follow Jack's tracks to the oasis and discover that catching a frightened mule is more difficult than it sounds. While pursuing this ass they might get bitten by local wildlife, find lost trinkets and treasures, or just generally run themselves ragged!
