Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!
We're back at it again with another Fully Prepped Mini-Campaign; Dragon of Icespire Peak, A level 1-6 Adventure that's a bit frosty! This is part of the Essentials Kit; released between Dragon of Stormwreck Isle and The Lost Mine of Phandelver all created by WoTC.
Dragon of Icespire Peak is a bit different from the other two I've prepped; not only is it more of a sandbox, but it also has the ability to be run with just one player which is a huge plus for those of you who can't get larger groups together! I'll be incorporating the recommendations from both Bob the World Builder and Sly Flourish along with my own tweaks to make this one of the best experiences you can have running this Mini-Campaign!
If you've used my previous notes you'll know that I take adventures such as these and do all the difficult and time-consuming book-to-session conversions so you don't have to! I do my best to include ambiance for every scene, custom battle maps, handouts when needed, spell sheets, encounter sheets, and more!
This may all sound familiar, but seeing as this is a Starter/Essentials Kit, I think it's important to reiterate:
- Read the Adventure: I know surprising, but it can be extremely confusing when you don't know where everything leads to.
- Consider the needs of your group: As you've heard or are about to hear a million times, every table is different. If you plan on combining this with a campaign, you'll have to make tweaks here and there.
- These notes aren't meant to be the end-all-be-all: Tweak to your heart's content, and don't consider any of what's written to be set in stone. For me having notes like this helps give me the confidence to go off the rails and follow along with what my players want. It helps me understand where things are meant to go and why. Having that understanding allows me to guide the players and create other new and interesting stories. These are all things that will come with experience, though, so don't freak out and enjoy the journey!

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, is a level 1-3 Adventure, the most recent Starter Set, and successor to The Lost Mine of Phandelver released by WoTC. In it, your players will sail to Stormwreck Isle, an island shaped by an age of conflict between Chromatic and Metallic Dragons. They'll be able to befriend kobolds, explore fungal grottos, fight those twisted by Orcus, and perhaps save the very island itself!
Have your players create their own characters or jump right in using the Pre-Gens that are built with backstories integrated into the plot!
If you've used my previous notes, you'll know that I take Adventures such as these and do all the difficult and time-consuming book-to-session conversions, so you don't have to!

Welcome to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!
The Lost Mine of Phandelver is a classic, one of the very first Mini-Campaigns that new DM's run. Heck, it's part of the starter set after all! The issue though, as with many other modules, is that it doesn't describe the best way to transform the contents of the book into an actual session. The Book-to-session conversion can be difficult. Between figuring out when things should happen, understanding motivations and even balancing encounters.
Well fortunately for you 99% of that work is done! Only a few things are really left:
- Consider the needs of your group. As you've heard or are about to hear a million times, every table is different. If you plan on combining this with a campaign you'll have to make tweaks here and there. (Bonus points if you include your players' backstory)
- These notes aren't meant to be end-all-be-all. Tweak to your heart's content and don't consider any of what's written to be set in stone. For me, having notes like this helps give me the confidence to go off the rails and follow along with what my players want. It helps me understand where things were meant to go and why. Having that understanding allows me to guide the players and create other new and interesting stories. These are all things that will come with experience though, so don't freak out and enjoy the journey!
Included in my posts are:
- A Word document for each part of the LMoP with detailed notes for running a perfect session including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights
- Special PDFs for every encounter. This includes all the enemies' stat blocks organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP.
- Additional PDFs for allies and commoners

Welcome to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!
The Lost Mine of Phandelver is a classic, one of the very first Mini-Campaigns that new DM's run. Heck, it's part of the starter set after all! The issue though, as with many other modules, is that it doesn't describe the best way to transform the contents of the book into an actual session. The Book-to-session conversion can be difficult. Between figuring out when things should happen, understanding motivations and even balancing encounters.
Well fortunately for you 99% of that work is done! Only a few things are really left:
- Consider the needs of your group. As you've heard or are about to hear a million times, every table is different. If you plan on combining this with a campaign you'll have to make tweaks here and there. (Bonus points if you include your players' backstory)
- These notes aren't meant to be end-all-be-all. Tweak to your heart's content and don't consider any of what's written to be set in stone. For me, having notes like this helps give me the confidence to go off the rails and follow along with what my players want. It helps me understand where things were meant to go and why. Having that understanding allows me to guide the players and create other new and interesting stories. These are all things that will come with experience though, so don't freak out and enjoy the journey!
Included in my posts are:
- A Word document for each part of the LMoP with detailed notes for running a perfect session including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights
- Special PDFs for every encounter. This includes all the enemies' stat blocks organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP.
- Additional PDFs for allies and commoners
- A variety of maps for each part of the campaign
- Spell lists for all relevant fights
- Handouts for various spell scrolls throughout the campaign
- A playlist for each part of the Mini-Campaign!

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad that my prep for The Night Before Wintermas helped! These two are some of my favorite sessions! I hope you have a blast with this along with the rest!
Cheers!
Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! With Easter fast approaching, I've prepped a Bunny Day Holiday Special:
From the creator of The Night Before Wintermas comes another level 5 Neutral/Evil One-Shot. Set in the same town as the original; your players will once again meet with Quentin Happyjoy who is getting into the confectionery business. Apparently, there's a lot of money in fat kids, especially when your toffee is 80% nicotine. He wants your players to cripple his competitors, House Estyr, makers of the world-famous "Chocolate Ovoids", by staging a heist on their heavily secured and fortified bank.
Will your players be able to come together to sneak or smash their way through the banks' defenses and come out with The Egg of Estyr?
This One-Shot has quite a lot to it. Your players will have multiple options when it comes to how they would like to tackle this heist which each leads to a very different experience. Theirs a full town to explore as well, with multiple unique vendors and magic items. I'm genuinely impressed with all there is to do!
I've also improved the design of the puzzle and included a section for handouts to make this session that much more immersive! I hope your players have as wild a time as mine did!

Hey, thank you for the detailed comment! I can definitively say this isn't a phishing email attempt. I'm just trying to find someone who can match my style of writing to work with. (Also as someone in IT wouldn't someone want to maximize the emails they get in a phishing attempt, I'll be lucky if 10 people enter haha)
Everyone's working on the same thing, it would be another story if I had everyone working on multiple different One-Shots, but since it's the same, it's of no use to me to have multiples. Only the first-place winner will be shown and they get $100 which is how much I charge for commissions and how much they would make for the prep to start. 2nd and third place also get a prize, so overall this is costing me more than if I just had one person to start. I can understand your concern about simply using something I wrote so I wouldn't have to pick someone, but again that wouldn't help me since I actually am looking for someone. If you have advice on how to make that less of a concern definitely let me know! It's one of those things where sure I can say it, but that won't change whether you believe me or not.
If you take a look at my prep you can see that I simply link to YouTube, I've never heard of that being an issue.
I'll be doing a final review of all the work before it actually gets posted, so I don't foresee a negative customer interaction so much, but if something did pop up then I simply wouldn't use them for future prep! The last line is just in case people submit Jiberish hoping that only 1-3 people enter.
I've updated the post to include more info about the position, I had updated other posts, but didn't add it here, so that's my bad!
If you have any suggestions on how I can make a post like this better I'd love to hear; I'm sure I'll eventually be looking for additional people in the future!
Cheers, Advent
Of course and thanks so much for asking, looks like I have a bit of updating to my posts so that I can make things as clear as possible, here's the gist though!
The job itself is basically doing the exact thing that's being done for the contest! Prepping popular One-Shots and Adventures.
I'm offering the same amount that I charge for commissions, so $100 for each One-Shot Prepped; with up to a bonus $100 for each completed project based on how closely the person can match my style. If the person is good enough, then they'll eventually receive a percentage of all profits from Advent's Amazing Advice! Payment is via Venmo, but other ways can be worked out if needed! The work is online/commission based so nationality isn't an issue.
For Content Production/Hours, I'm looking for someone who can prep between 1-2 One-Shots a month, you can choose when, where, and how to complete the work! I'll be guiding the person to match my style and be there to help with anything that pops up along the way. I'll still be prepping other One-Shots and Campaigns as well and expanding new ways to help people!
As for judging, that will be done by me the creator of Advent's Amazing Advice; since I'm looking for someone who can match my style specifically. Only I will be able to see the work and only the winners will get a post on my Patreon!
Hope that helps answer your questions, if you have any more just let me know, I'm only a message away!
Cheers, Advent
Definitely not trying to be malicious in any way and that's why I added prizes. Only the first-place person would be featured and I would have no use for any of the other prep.

You're very welcome, I hope you have a blast and if you find anything that can be improved with my notes please let me know!
If you look up The homebrewery you should find out how to create in that style!
Cheers!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!!!
Oh no that's the worst, ya time/scheduling issues are the biggest killer of D&D. Fingers crossed you get a chance to do it again!
I appreciate your feedback! When I make my post, the DM Notes are completely free and able to be used by anyone! The additional One-Shots are a mix of Free and Patron content, but I offer a preview of all of it which can also be used as a starting point for those who need it! I also talk about my Patreon in the last paragraph. I'll try to make it clearer in the future that this is for D&D since we're on a RPG section and not a D&D specific one. Thanks again!
Cheers, Advent
Thanks, hope the prep helps! If you ever get a chance, 100% run wild sheep chase again, even if it's with new people, it's one of my all-time favorites!
Thank you, hope my notes and prep help!
Thank you so much! That's exactly why I do what I do, the more DMs out there the more awesome games for everyon!
Haha nice, that alone might help get your players into D&D!
You're welcome, I'm super happy to hear that too, It's the whole reason I make these, I really want DMing to be as accessible as possible!
Just be careful those who aren't interested don't ruin it for those who are! Keep us posted on how your game goes, I'm super curious!!!
Hands down one of the best! I've run it over 3 times to introduce people or test em out before a campaign!
Oh wow so 7 players total, that's quite a bit, especially for a first-time DM, I usually don't recommend more than 5. I pick 5 because if one player bails then you have 4 which to me is the perfect number! Having a ton of players can really draw out fights and for social encounters can leave people out of the limelight.
DMing can certainly be a lot of work but it's real rewarding and hey guess what If your players love it you can always use any of these resources for future sessions!
100% agree that balancing encounters can be difficult! One tip is that you can take a look at other One-Shots/Adventures that are already balanced and around the level you're looking for and use those!
My Intent is to get as many new DMs as possible and make things a whole lot scary for them when they start!
There definitely are other systems, but this is a dnd community and Baldurs Gate 3 is based off of D&D as well, so most people would be looking for something similar!
Granted I do agree that there are a ton of awesome other systems out there, but I find D&D to be the gateway drug that leads to many other places!
I posted it separately in different communities?
