The Snow Stalkers, 5th-Level One Shot (5E - PDF)

This adventure is AMAZING! I had the privlege of being a DM for the first time for my friends last night and I was very nervous on picking out my first one-shot to do with them as I am a newbie (been playing for about a year). This definetly walked me through it as well as giving me options and easy places to improvise if I wanted to and kept things on track. The monsters were amazing and my party really enjoyed it! I am so glad I found this one. Thank you!

I want to lead this review with saying that my players are still quite new to DnD, and I had to really pull some punches in the combat. It took 4 players about 5 hours of active play time to finish. The material is laid out well and the maps provided work well. I would've liked to see some of the art in the pdf provided at higher quality but for the price really can't complain.

Players loved it as well :)

I game with a group of seven (in person), and we had two players drop out of a session a few days before we were scheduled. Our DM didn't want to have a campaign session without them, so when this happens, one of us players will often host a one-shot. It's a fun opportunity for PCs to try out new characters without affecting the actual campaign setting. Myself and one other player often volunteer to DM a one-shot. However, neither of us had one prepared.

After searching around for easy to run one-shot ideas, I stumbled on a reddit thread recommending the Arcane Library for easy to prep one-shots. I looked around for a bit and settled on The Snow Stalkers. I read through the PDF and realized this was going to be a quick prep! Everything was there, including maps. I was able to incorporate the story as a follow up to a previous session I ran, so I changed some of the locations to be Swordcoast friendly.

The story is pretty linear, so the choice elements are lacking. But for a last minute session, that actually ended up being to my advantage. The story is a lot of fun, and everything was easy to run, especially for someone who has only DMed a few times. And, of course, the most important thing is that the players enjoyed it and had fun. It ended up being about a five hour session, with a scheduled break in the middle. Very happy with this purchase, and if I need another quick one-shot, I'll be back for more.

Well laid out with solid resources and a simple set so setup/running was easy. I added some extras where I wanted and the players all said the module was fun and challenging with great pacing!

Easiest one shot I’ve run! Very comprehensive but easy to follow on the fly. A++
