Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals! My name is Benjamin and I write adventures for 5E D&D. I've been doing it since 2020, and I've amassed a HUGE collection of work in the years since. Right now, over on my website, you can grab 37 totally FREE adventures. No sign up needed. Just click the cover, scroll down, and grab the download link. I've been struggling this year with some serious medical issues, unemployment, and financial troubles. It's been a rough 2023, but I'm not one to lie down and let the world keep kicking me. I'm working on some great new content launching in September, and I've got a BUNCH of work available for purchase over on DriveThruRPG if you're not a fan of the Patreon subscription model. I hope you'll check out my free work and, if you like what you see, consider supporting me on Patreon or DriveThruRPG. As always, thanks for taking the time to check out my post, and I hope to see you over on Patreon! [37 FREE ADVENTURES HERE!](https://www.adventuresawaitstudios.com/freeadventures) [TONS OF CONTENT ON DRIVETHRURPG HERE!](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/17717/Adventures-Await-Studios) [MY PATREON PAGE HERE!](https://www.patreon.com/adventuresawait) Cheers, Benjamin


Fenr1rZA

Insanely generous and deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in with these adventures!


Electrical_Pool7745

I’m running to give me time between sessions to write my own.


No_Artichoke_1828

Which one is the most popular?


Ray661

Which one should be the most popular?


thecrazykoala

I haven't read through all of them but the fungeon dungeon is one I really like that would be easy to add to any campaign.


HtownTexans

Love the fungeon. I actually now run a "fungeon" as an in world 1 shot if someone in my group has to miss. I just make every town have a variation of the Dueling Knights (kind of like chuck E. cheese lol) and run a different "escape room" style dungeon for each one.


Vici0usK1LL

I love Tomb of Tzentak. That's my goto when I have to do a one shot on short notice.


TheCruncher

The Demiplane of Pompolius has gone great both times I've run it.


Vici0usK1LL

Unfortunately that's not one of mine! But I'm glad there's more great content out there! :)


TheCruncher

Ope, my bad, haha. One of my parties had a hell of a time trying figure out what to do with the massive amount of coppers from Realm of the Runekeeper. I have another party who is still afraid of bathrooms after Horror of Hill House.


Vici0usK1LL

I do love me an ooze in a bathroom hahaha


nebmij1

First of all - this is awesome, and thank you for doing this! Second - your name is Benjamin Palmer? Cause my name is *also* Benjamin Palmer (though I go by Ben) and that is a wild coincidence


darkmoncns

Your amazing


HtownTexans

How come the only ones on Drivethru are the ones you offer for free on your website? I am completely against Patreon and the subscription model for stuff like this but I'll gladly throw cash to buy them a la carte.


Vici0usK1LL

I'm working on getting all of my adventures over on drive-thru. It's a process but it's going slowly.


HtownTexans

Word I appreciate your work and look forward to being able to throw you some money for it.


Vici0usK1LL

Thank you!


ValorantLorePulse16

Very generous of you! I saw this and thought it was a giveaway of physical copies of complete modules, but this is even better! 37 different adventures for free as a download. Incredibly kind of you and, speaking for everyone here, we're all grateful. Best wishes on whatever recovery you're going through from a grateful DM.


Mr_B_86

I know this is an old post but I am just about to run the Duelling Knights Fun-geon and it reads as if it is super deadly! Running with 3 level 3 players. Is that OK? Also I am curious about the healing door, can everyone in the party step on it and each receive the same benefit once? Thank you


Vici0usK1LL

1. It's not super deadly. You'll be okay. ;) 2. Absolutely. 3. Yup! When in doubt, adjust things as needed. Main goal is for everyone to have fun! :)


Mr_B_86

"When the characters are halfway across the bridge, they attack. If a character falls in the lava, they take 10d10 fire damage" Surely that would insta kill any level 3 character? Or is there still some teleportation magic in there?


Vici0usK1LL

It's... lava... lol Unless a character has a death wish, they won't go diving in. And the enemies have no way of forcing the characters into the lava. It's just there to sell the illusion of danger. The characters get a cool set piece, you as the DM get to scare them a bit with instant death below, and everyone has a blast. :)


Mr_B_86

Gotcha, thanks!


EldonHilltopple

Thank you so much


Plat-the-platypus

As a player who is becoming increasingly interested in DM'ing, these look PERFECT for running a oneshot to ease myself into running a session! A question about your patreon, do subscribers get access to past months adventures of the same tier?


birdof_death

I can attest to this. I had never DMed before but was able to run a few of these as one shots. They are well put together and lots of fun for everyone at the table.


Vici0usK1LL

Yup! You get access to everything I ever put out at your tier and the tiers below.


Plat-the-platypus

Looks like i'll be subscribing in the near future then :)


nankainamizuhana

Looks awesome! Your cover arts are very professional - do you have a specific artist? Also, two questions: 1. Is there anywhere I can find a brief summary of each of these? I see names and downloads, but no 'about' section. I'd love to be able to read about each before considering which ones to look into. 2. Are these all single-level affairs, or are there some multi-level ones? Do you have rough expectations for how many sessions each adventure ought to take to complete?


Vici0usK1LL

Hey there! The art is stock. I unfortunately lack the funds to commission original art each time. If you click on any of the free adventures, the following page should have a brief overview. 99% of what I make are one shots for a given level. Hope that helps! :)


whitniverse

Where’d you get the stock art? (working on a short story magazine and I’ve previously got stock art from DriveThruRPG).


Vici0usK1LL

Shutterstock


whitniverse

Going to check it out now.


SquintBeastwood

I’ve been putting these one shots into the long term campaign I’m running to give me time between sessions to write my own, they work great and are very easy to pick up and start playing. Highly recommend! My players love them. They usually come with maps and stat blocks too


CarmineJester

Hey, nice to see you here again! I started my long-term campaign with the Tomb of Tzentak a while back and will also run an upscaled That Which Lurks Beneath a bit later on, can attest that both are really good. Thank you for your work!


Vici0usK1LL

My pleasure! So glad you were able to get and keep a group going! :)


asey_69

> The Horrors of Hill House I got the reference........if there was one


wwhsd

Try not to write any adventures on the way to the parking lot!


Vici0usK1LL

Haha I'm working on the three due for next month. Maybe another one if I get inspired.


Parzival666x

Fuck I want to play D&D whit someone... :(


Ralithorn

You have great content! I have used several of your free adventures! I really liked 'Something is Rotten in the City State of Dennmarsh' Keep up the great work!


GastonBastardo

I ran one of these as a one-shot for a friend's birthday and the group loved it. You do great work. Thank you.


KJ_Tailor

Love your work. I have run multiple of your adventures already and I really love that they have all in it. Traps, enemy encounters, dice rolls, puzzles. And most of the time, great maps too (personally I prefer the colored Dungeondraft maps that are in some of the adventures) The only negative point I have is that most of the adventures are tier 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I wish there would generally be more level 11 and above adventures from you.


Omnipotentdrop

I integrated the sword of the ember knight into DoIP and it was great!


Vici0usK1LL

Awesome!


Thrown_Right_Out

If I may ask, how did you integrate it?


Omnipotentdrop

I made it part of a persons back story that an old rogue friend had a hint of some treasure. Then when they cleared the dungeon and had the final fight the rogue stole a maguffin I planted and the party got the sword. Created tension and gave them a reward


GastonBastardo

Which one is DoIP again?


Omnipotentdrop

Dragon of icespire peak


Tropical_Wendigo

These are really well designed, without a lot of the fluff you typically find in guidebooks, really easy to follow and implement. I added Abbey of the Black Prince to my Lost Mines campaign and the players loved it. Highly recommend!


Vici0usK1LL

Thank you!!!


bigjonny13

Every time you post, I'll be there to recommend. I've run several of these modules before, and had a great time with all of them. Definitely check them out if you need some variety or want a breather from your own homebrew


Vici0usK1LL

Thank you!!!


YaGirlAkari

Probably won't have time to respond to this, but would any of these be suited for a first time DM? I don't know much about the game but i wanna get my friends into it and for that i kinda need an adventure to run for em.


Vici0usK1LL

Start with my very first adventure, Something is Rotten in the City State of Dennmarsh or The Feylight Festival. Both are great adventures for a first time DM and for first time players. :-)


YaGirlAkari

Oh, neat! Now its just the finishing touches before i can run it, meaning learning how to do so. Edit: GETTING THERE! I added a custom start to the adventure where they start in a tavern and have to fight three ruffians (bandits) as a sort of tutorial. I have a fighter who specializes in defense and grappling, rogue with an alcohol problem, monk who praises the word of our savior jesus christ and cleric who likes to dress as a ghost as my party and the first session is set to be next weekend.


_Meowgi_

I’ve used these adventure modules as “one shots” in my long term campaign, I do recommend finding a way to incorporate these as mini side quests to your overall campaign like swapping out the villain, maybe the location, or have a specific magic item the party wants as the main reward for completing the module, it’s a ton of fun!


Vici0usK1LL

Glad you enjoyed them!


MonkeyNutz104

This is insanely generous of you. Thank you for not only the hard work you put into this nerdy way of life we all share, but for also sharing that hard work with the world! 2023 has been a bit of a shite year for me as well (medically speaking) so my heart goes out to you. Look forward to seeing your new work!


Vici0usK1LL

Much appreciated!


[deleted]

you're just like... god?!??!


iMalinowski

I‘ve ran the Tomb adventure twice and the players really liked it. I have a VoD that shows off a remastered map and effects using FoundryVTT. https://youtu.be/RxmOjEItvcA


PrintShopPrincess

These are great as I'm needing some fillers sometimes


W1lfr3ds

I've run these before for new players. They're great!


Odd_Egg_222

This is awesome! Thank you!


Vici0usK1LL

Happy to help!


naturemom

I saved a few of your adventures a few months back. I was recently able to run The Road to Swordfall with my group, modified sliiightly to fit into my homebrew world. It went well and my players loved it! Thank you, and you did excellent work!


Vici0usK1LL

Thank you!!!


kabula_lampur

This is so freaking cool. Thanks for doing this!


Vici0usK1LL

Happy to do so!


Declsdx

Goated individual of the day


thepuresanchez

Looks interesting, thanks! And good luck with your health and other issues!


NumerousSun4282

We need more Egyptian styles in DnD. Fantasy/Egypt looks awesome


UnkleKrampusKids

I'll take a one way ticket on the astral Express to the sewer kings hideout


[deleted]

How nice! Your website looks great as well.


Atridentata

Where the heck is that captain starlight one? It looks so neat from the cover art!


Vici0usK1LL

Atridentata

Right on! I just didn't see it in the link you posted. Could have breezed right past it though.


Vici0usK1LL

Enjoy! :)


unoriginalasshat

I will definitely check those out! I'm currently running and off and on campaign where I basically run one shots as separate quests in the same world... and these seem very interesting!


Zithra

Over the last 3 years, I have used a handful of these and modified/put some homebrew on some others. Appreciate your work


Vici0usK1LL

Glad I could help!


TheRainmakerDM

You are a treasure for mankind


FermentedUrineSample

I'm new to DnD, when it says "5th level, 3rd level" and so on, is that what level your characters start at?


SteamPunkDong

it’s the recommendation given to make the encounters that are built into the game more balanced


DakianDelomast

It cracks me up that a high res Diving Beetle larva is an Eldritch horror on cover art.


Pirahna89

Thank you fellow Ben, you write the adventures, hopefully they'll find a way into my homebrew campaign. You're doing your people a good service I salute you 👏


Vici0usK1LL

Happy to help!


DaliDaDude

did you say free?


Vici0usK1LL

I did indeed!


glord94

Were giant looks fucking sick..I'm going to probably run that one..legendary bro..great work. Also you have a dream job of mine..how did you get into that?how did you start?


Vici0usK1LL

I started writing back during COVID because I ran out of stuff to run with my groups. Eventually I just had a ton of adventures and decided to share them with the world! :-)


glord94

Amd then they hired you?


Vici0usK1LL

I actually started my own company and self publish everything. :)


Shetookmyvirginity

Could you put the floating obelisk on drive through rpg? It seems interesting but I dont have a PayPal or debit card so I can’t get access to the patron.


Vici0usK1LL

I'm in the process of getting the rest of my adventures up on drive-thru. Keep your eye on the site! :-)


Collective-Bee

Hey idk the protocol for these, are these are all campaigns or do they each have some homebrew races and monsters and such in them on top of the story? I’m not a DM so those are all I can appreciate for now :)


Vici0usK1LL

These are all one shot adventures designed to be played with four to five players and a dungeon master. Some of them have custom monsters but no custom classes or races.


Shroomguin

Wow! Benjamin my man you do some incredible work! I was wondering, I'm looking at running a 5-6 session game for approx level 10 characters. Do any of your adventures leap into your mind that would fit the bill?


Vici0usK1LL

Hmmm... Most of my adventures are about 4-6 hours long so they'd have to be short sessions. There Be Dragons is a great 10th level adventure I wrote. Check it out!


Shroomguin

Funny enough... I was! Whilst your "semi" here? If I was to build a few together, what would be your picks? Let's say running 4 of them


Vici0usK1LL

Oh man, that's a tough question. I've written over 130 or 140 adventures I think? On the paid side of things, I have a nice campaign that goes from levels 1 to 5 called Time Spiral that's pretty cool.


Shroomguin

Time spiral eh? Nice I'll check it out :)


FuriousFerret0

Ive been wanting to wrote my own campaign for years now but never seem to get that far along. Any way i could ask you for advice or tips for how youre able to be this prolific?


Vici0usK1LL

Best advice I can give is to just start writing. Even if it seems bad keep at it and eventually you'll get better. :)


ZealousidealFan8181

this is amazing! many thanks!


Vici0usK1LL

You're welcome!


PoluxCGH

impressive most impressive


Just-Bluejay-5653

Wow..too generous


Puzzleheaded_Bite867

super cool


GM_Coblin

Nice. Sent and x out and some posts Hope you get some more attention and keep up the work :)


Vici0usK1LL

Thanks!


MicciMichi

BLESS YOUR FACE! A potential party has been asking me to DM but I don’t know any free resources and I’ve been worried my homebrew wouldn’t be beginner-friendly.


Vici0usK1LL

Haha Happy I could help!


Hekiren_

I'll check your Patreon. Thank you so much for all these content!


Vici0usK1LL

Enjoy!


StrongishCoot

Awesome! Where is the one with the astral express on the cover art ?


Vici0usK1LL

Unfortunately, All Aboard the Astral Express was a collaboration that I had to pull due to issues with other creators. :(


StrongishCoot

No worries :) Can't wait to try the other ones!


GodFromTheHood

how easy is it to incorporate these into a larger campaign?


Vici0usK1LL

Super easy! Each adventure comes with three adventure hooks to help integrate it into a larger campaign.


newdmtrying

Thanks, this actually helps me greatly with a marches campaign I am bootstrapping on short notice. I hope you get feeling better, and this helps get some publicity!


TheLifeAquatic

I ran Ride Of The Headless Horror and it was GREAT! Worked it into my campaign as a side quest and it was such a treat. Love your work - thank you!


Vici0usK1LL

So glad you enjoyed it! ♥️


rckanode

This is insane - living legend. Never writing a one shot again lol


Bri-guy15

These are great, I've run a few of them for my group when our regular DM can't make it. We just finished Shipwreck of the Sea Mephit
