One-Page One-Shot #1 - Carbuncle Quest

ADD TO WISHLIST >

New to running D&D? Start here.

Introducing the first in a new line of high-quality one-page adventures, suited for social distancing, your next social ZoomTM call or hours of fun you can bring to a bar once this whole thing blows over.

Carbuncle Quest: An abandoned dwarven keep known as Morn Brakk holds the key to unlocking a priceless gem from the head of a sadistic, telepathic beast. Remove the gem and you’ve completed the Carbuncle Quest, based on the 1981 creature first introduced to the world in the 1981 Fiend Folio. The world has never been the same since.

Level 1 adventure: Inside you'll find all that a Dungeon Master needs to hit the table and go, including a brief introduction, a one-page (front and back) first-level beginner adventure framed in an innovative "narrative map" design, and five self-contained stat blocks. Everything a busy DM needs and nothing they don't. Just send your players some pregens, grab some dice and you're set!

One page is all you need: This is the first in a new series of one-shot love letters to the "pen and ink" era of Dungeons & Dragons, focused on simplicity, quality and brevity from author / designer Jason Weitzel. The use of grids and miniatures for this series is entirely optional, but not necessary. Happy gaming, and stay safe.

Thanks for this adventure. As a novice DM I liked it a lot, and so did my players. The level of detail was just right for me - streamlined enough to be easy to prepare, but detailed enough that it didn't need too much improv. I especially liked the "narrative map" design. More please!

Thanks, Brett! So pleased you enjoyed the DM experience, and hoped the mind map design would prove a useful tool. Very happy the players enjoyed it as well!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
