For Christmas our adult gaming group pooled our money to buy my husband, the forever DM, a copy of One Shot Wonders, and it is now part of our invaluable tools set that we bring to the table. The ideas art and layout makes it so easy to use. We have used several of the adventures with the kids too and every one has been a huge success!
He ran the "Fight at the Museum" adventure with an hour prep time, and 35 minutes of that was designing and printing maps using Dungeon Alchemist. Frequently I will steal the adventure from our group to use with my teen group.
Basically, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the inspirational content you have created.

Great depth. Beautiful illustrations.
I love mine! Theres such a great variety of marvelous, fun, quirky, spooky, easy to challenging ideas in this book! From high fantasy to escape room style to a bit o’ horror, there’s something for everyone. The session plan layout is so easy to read. The quick story ideas are depthy enough to spark the DM’s imagination. Beautifully illustrated.

Staple for any DM's library
I don't quite understand the comments that £45 being expensive. Surely a book that potentially supplies multiple evenings of entertainment for a bunch of people for the price of a round of drinks, sounds like a bargain.

Great, but -1 star for password protected pdf
I love the content and the format of this product. Easy to use, appealing layout, fun ideas. For "security" reasons they decided to password lock the pdf version, so you can't copy-paste text from it into your notes (as if this will stop anyone with basic OCR tech on their device). It's an inconvenience that no other major publishers impose on paying customers in my experience, so I removed a star.
Roll & Play Press was born out of a desire to create GM tools we wanted to use in our own games! Everything we make is designed to make life easier for RPG players.
