WORKSHOP

D&D Amsterdam organizer Dorine will be giving a hands-on workshop to provide you with the tools to prepare adventures from scratch! Learn how to design a compelling one-shot adventure from the ground up! This workshop is perfect for beginner Dungeon Masters, starting with some essential guidance on good dungeon mastering practices. We’ll then cover:

• How to draw inspiration from a variety of sources and turn it into a strong narrative.
• Structuring a story with three key beats - perfect for keeping one-shots concise and satisfying.
• Crafting a hook that immediately engages your players.
• A guided exercise to create a one-shot hook and outline its main beats, then give you the opportunity to design your own. Ideas will be reviewed and refined together, followed by a Q&A.
