My Dungeons & Dragons Adventures are on DMsGuild!
Hey everyone! I’m working on a variety of things I can’t announce quite yet, but in the meantime I wanted to share one bit of fun news. The two ‘official’ Dungeons & Dragons adventures I wrote for dragonmag.com are now available on DMsGuild with additional artwork and corrections!
The Barber of Silverymoon (levels 4-6) – People have been disappearing at night in the city of Silverymoon. Some vanish entirely, leaving behind whispered rumors of fiends or other evil creatures having spirited them away. Others return strangely altered, with their memories of having been kidnapped wiped clean and their minds strangely dulled…and always with AMAZING HAIRCUTS. Can your adventurers discover the secret which threatens Silverymoon? Will they put their lives, their souls… their very HAIR on the line to save the town?
“Barber of Silverymoon” is a fun one-shot adventure I wrote for the release of “Volo’s Guide to Monsters.” It features some cool magic items (sort of…), traps and tricks, and a diabolical barbershop that makes Sweeney Todd look like Nadine Labaki in “Caramel”.
Six Faces of Death (levels 11-13) – An alien being, dark omens, and vanishing ships send the adventurers to a mysterious island newly appeared in the Sea of Swords. But can the characters uncover the mysteries of “Changing Island” in time to save Faerûn from the weird and terrifying invasion of the… SIX FACES OF DEATH?
“Six Faces of Death” is a two- or three-night dark-fantasy adventure created for the release of “Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes”. You can run it as either comedic and roleplay-oriented, or as pretty deadly. After I wrote it I realized I’d written an OSR-style adventure for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition…. which I’m happy about. If you’re a player who likes being dropped in a strange environment and figuring out what’s going on, or a DM who lives describing gross and surreal things, this is for you.
Best of all, both these adventures are FREE downloads! So there’s no reason not to create a DMsGuild account (if you don’t have one already) and go get them! Check them out! Many thanks to Scott Fitzgerald Gray for editing and polishing the text and for Bart Carroll for commissioning them and making them possible.
Hello Jason! I’m trying to find the top down maps for Six Faces of Death that are supposed to be out there… But I’m not having much luck. Is there a map pack somewhere that you could point me toward, please? I’d be incredibly grateful!
Thank you!
Hi Steve! I responded to you on Twitter, but just wanted to make sure you got it! Essentially, the version of the map that can be downloaded by any web browser from WotC’s site is the older version which doesn’t have the top-down maps (and also has some other errors). The version which you can download through DMsGuild is the correct version. Thank you for trying out the adventure, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Hey Jason, greetings from Brazil!
I just want to let you know that I absolutely LOVE the barber of silverymoon. I have run it 6 times so far, it became my standard “introduction-to-DnD one-shot” for new players and whenever I have the chance to DM for a new group I play it. I improvise a little bit in the investigation part in the beginning depending on where the group decides to look for information, but aside from that I run exactly as you wrote and it is absolutely delightful. I have had all sorts of different endings (depending on how much the players decide to test the many crazy shenanigans in the dungeon) and all of them were super satisfying. Congratulations, it is absolutely amazing!
Sorry for any grammar mistakes, I’m not a native speaker, but I hope you got the message :) Hugs from the South!
I’m so sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment!! Somehow I didn’t get a notification for it. I’m so happy that you like Barber of Silverymoon, it was a lot of fun to write (and draw the maps). I’m currently working on a new RPG of my own, Dreamland RPG at dreamrpg.com, if you’re interested. And I hope to do more D&D stuff in the future too!
