Why One-Shot Adventures?
A one-shot adventure is a self-contained story that can be completed in one 3-4 hour game session. Creating a one-shot is the perfect way to learn everything you need to know to create engaging and entertaining stories.
It is an attainable goal that you can accomplish during the next couple of weeks, and achieving it will give you all the skills you need to take on more ambitious projects, such as longer adventures and campaigns.
Why should you follow this course?
- Learn By Doing
Learn to make adventures by jumping in and creating an adventure of your own. No more abstract theory than absolutely necessary. Clear and approachable steps that will take you to your goal as quickly as possible.
- Easy for novice GMs
I will show you a simple and straightforward creative process that will help you to write your first adventure even if you've never done it before.
- No more writer's block
No more staring at a blank page in confusion. I mean, writing will still often be challenging, but at least you won't find yourself feeling stuck and not understanding why. You will always have a plan, and a list of clear and attainable goals, specific tasks to accomplish.
- Peace of mind
Following all the steps and answering all the questions gives you all the information you need to run a well-crafted adventure. You don't have to worry about missing anything important.
- Clarity and flow
The most valuable part of my process is breaking down the adventure writing into a series of small, specific, attainable steps. No task is too complicated or overwhelming, every step has clear instructions. Accomplishing small tasks at the appropriate level of difficulty is how we get into the "flow", the state that makes writing fun and satisfying.
- Prep what matters, don't prep what doesn't
Spend your energy only on things that actually enhance the game, don't spend hours developing ideas that never get used.
- High prep or improv-heavy games
This process works well for both low-prep improv-focused GMs, as well as for people who prefer more detailed prep.
