# 6E Oneshot: Retrieve the Sandstorm Amulet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Intro
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've been working on ideas for an original fiction novel about someone that
|
||
|
|
rediscovers magic in an incredibly secular world. This is a bit of a bigger task
|
||
|
|
(and would really be one of the biggest works of art I've ever done), and coming
|
||
|
|
up with ideas for it can be difficult. I've also been casually interested in
|
||
|
|
[Dungeons and Dragons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons) for a
|
||
|
|
long time, but have never had the chance to play it. Though it is a great tool
|
||
|
|
to help guide the creation of stories, it can be intimidating and complicated to
|
||
|
|
get into. There really is a lot going on there. Recently [itch.io][itch] created
|
||
|
|
a [Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality][itchbundle], and one of the items in
|
||
|
|
there was [6E][sixe], a simplified view of Dungeons and Dragons that is aimed to
|
||
|
|
be very rules-light and focus on the situations.

|
This is great if you have ideas for what to do in a campaign, but sometimes you
|
||
|
|
just don't. This is an idea that you can build on for a small, short one-shot
|
||
|
|
adventure with [6E][sixe]. This should only take an hour or two and is perfect
|
||
|
|
for helping people get into the flow of table-top role-playing games. You will
|
||
|
|
need the following things:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 4-5 people (including yourself) willing to play together (whether in person or
|
||
|
|
over the internet)
|
||
|
|
- Six-sided dice (at least 4) or a chatbot that can handle dice rolling for you
|
||
|
|
- The playbook PDF from the [6E page on itch.io][sixe]
|
||
|
|
- A bit of creativity (you can work together if you are suddenly lacking
|
||
|
|
inspiration)
|
||
|
|
- A willingness to learn
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Deep in the desert wasteland of Miau there is a cove for bandits. This cove is
|
||
|
|
full of bandits and evil boomerang rats. You and your party walk into the
|
||
|
|
entrance of the cave. There is a torch by the entrance. What do you do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Process
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Choose someone to be the Dungeon Master. Give them the sheets for the Dungeon
|
||
|
|
Master and then have the others start filling out their stats. Rolling for stats
|
||
|
|
is done like on the Dungeon Master character creation sheet:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For each stat (strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and
|
||
|
|
charisma), roll two six-sided dice. Add them up and convert them into stats
|
||
|
|
using these rules:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Roll | Stat |
