Some of this content is marked as “Pay What You Want.”
This means that while a payment option exists, it’s entirely optional.
But they’re rare, expensive, and often not worth the trouble.
It’s structured so that the DM doesn’t need hours on hours of prep to run it effectively.
This makes it a fantastic last-minute option.
Alternatively, it can be the start of a long-running adventure for the more casual D&D group.

Heder requested his totem animal be a duck, and Mercer obliged.
Here’s how to start!
Ghost by Steven Belledin
It’s not the most in-depth content, but it’s a comedic idea that was refined most expertly.
The cultural novelty of it does add something, too, admittedly.
A Chance Encounter, on the other hand, is the opposite.
Grave Circumstances by Kieran Yanner
This small adventure has a simple but on-theme premise that showcases the classic D&D experience.

The Shaman, however, is a potent exception.
