3for5E Adventures
Cacklin Slayers' 3for5E Adventures are designed for new and veteran DMs alike. With every three-page adventure¸ we aim to provide you with a flexible and adaptable one-shot that's easy to run with little to no prep time.
Every 3for5E starts with a synopsis of the adventure¸ followed by a short backstory and a hook to pull the player characters in. After that come the descriptions of the encounter locations that form the meat and bone of the adventure. At the end¸ we loosely describe possible developments to give you an idea of how the story might unfold.
Unless specified otherwise in a footnote¸ names appearing in bold refer to stat blocks found in the D&D 5E Monster Manual and italic text to magic items from the D&D 5E Dungeon Master's Guide and spells from the D&D 5E Player's Handbook. Assuming you own at least the 5E Core Rulebooks¸ we'll try to provide an alternative from the Core Rulebooks whenever we refer to a different source. All maps¸ stat blocks and other elements that are unique to the adventure can be found in the Appendix included at the end.
Most of our adventures are written with the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting in mind as a backdrop. However¸ you can easily change up the references to fit the adventure in any D&D fantasy campaign setting you want.
Feel free to add¸ remove or change parts of our adventures to make them your own. We don't care how you use them¸ as long as you enjoy running them as much as we did designing them!
