Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!

We're back at it again with another Level 1+ One-Shot, this time by the amazing Jennifer Adcock! Grammy's Country Apple Pie is the perfect One-Shot to run for a group of kids who are looking to just have some fun. They can go in the hard way and try to fight everything or they can try to practice those bard-like skills and converse their way through the challenges!

In Grammy's Country Apple Pie, a wizard named Tyndareus develops a craving for a special treat from his childhood, he will stop at nothing to get his hands on the best apple pie in the whole world. He hires your group to seek out the bakery that once produced the wonderful dessert – unfortunately for them, the bakery has long since been overrun by goblins. But all is not as it seems at Grammy’s Bakery, and Tyndareus isn’t the only one who’d do anything for those pies.

Parents and Teachers can oftentimes be even busier than the rest of us and with this Fully Prepped One-Shot I hope I can help get families together and bring new generations of players to the table!

Without further ado:

Included in The AAA Collection is:

  • A Word document with all my notes including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights
  • Special PDF for all encounters. This includes the enemy stat blocks organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP
  • Custom Maps of Grammy's Bakery

Other One Shots, Adventures, and Campaigns:

If you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc. please let me know. I want this to be an amazing resource for all DMs and plan to keep it constantly updated! If you'd like to support me, shape future releases, and get content early feel free to check out my Patreon!

Cheers,

Advent

Thanks, hope the prep helps! If you ever get a chance, 100% run wild sheep chase again, even if it's with new people, it's one of my all-time favorites!

It was a great time, we just ran out of time lol very disappointed bc it was just before the big confrontation and I was going to have a ton of fun reasoning with them as the "bad" guy.

Oh no that's the worst, ya time/scheduling issues are the biggest killer of D&D. Fingers crossed you get a chance to do it again!

It’s obvious you are an independent author of D&D materials with a desire to contribute to the community.

At the same time, it would be nice if you noted anywhere in the post or especially the title that you are advertising D&D materials for sale. It’s fine if you make money off your creations, but irksome when it’s not clear that it is advertising, and also when any post perpetuates the idea that D&D is the default, or only, system.

I appreciate your feedback! When I make my post, the DM Notes are completely free and able to be used by anyone! The additional One-Shots are a mix of Free and Patron content, but I offer a preview of all of it which can also be used as a starting point for those who need it! I also talk about my Patreon in the last paragraph. I'll try to make it clearer in the future that this is for D&D since we're on a RPG section and not a D&D specific one. Thanks again!

Cheers, Advent
