Hello. I plan to run a campaign with three of my friends. I will be the DM. I have been the DM before and I have been a Player before (in DnD 5e and also other systems). For my three friends it will be the first time they play a tabletop RPG. So which of the offical campaign moduls do you think is best suited for my friends?
I made a small, one-session adventure called “The Lost Moo”. Players immediately got suspicious when they saw the title. And yes, it is about stolen cows. Sorry, no heroic dragon fight and hoards of treasure for a first-level adventure ;-) Just a bunch of faeries “borrowing” cows to lure adventurers into their forest to take care of a problem they have.
The idea behind this adventure was to offer a bit of everything: City adventure with NPC interactions, overland (and into the woos) with tracking and orientation, traps, riddles / problem solving, a dungeon, and finally, a fight.
This was designed that way to see how the players deal with the different scenarios of playing and to see which suits them and which doesn’t. I adjusted the next adventures accordingly.
