On this week's Chat TPK, we’re cracking open the creative toybox and building our very own D&D one-shot adventure from the ground up. From brainstorming wild ideas to structuring scenes, encounters, and twists—we’re showing you how to craft a killer session in a single sitting through the power of improv!
Mike, Martyn, and Rick are joined by special guest Judah from One Shot D&D, who brings his storytelling expertise (and a few chaotic ideas) to the table. Whether you’re a first-time DM or a seasoned world-builder, this episode is packed with tips, laughs, and plenty of inspiration for your next one-shot.
