D&D introduction at work - one shot ideas needed! (lemmy.world)

Hi lemmings,

I've been asked to do DM a D&D introduction one-shot at work. I work in IT, and there are - as expected - a few nerds who are interested in dipping their toes in the warm TTRPG waters.

I've already run "The Wild Sheep Chase" (revised to be compatible with level 1 characters) in the past, to great success. But they want more!

Have you run short 2-3 hour one-shot adventures? Care to share them with me? I'm not against shopping around on the DM's Guild either, but there's ALOT. So I figured I could ask you guys to give me some pointers!

At the university I run Halloween sessions for new players, and by far the best scenario I've run is the first one: House of the Midnight Violet. It's a 3 hour scenario for a party of 4th level. I've run it twice for a party of 3rd level with no adjustments. It's plays very well as is, though I'd personally suggest running the groups of dolls and cats as swarm creatures rather than individual creatures, for the sake of your own sanity.
