Okay #Fediverse, I'm looking for recommendations for a D&D 5E one-shot that can be finished in 3 hours or so for a group of 4 brand-new players (and me as DM who hasn't DM'ed for a few years).
I've searched online and found some of course, but I would really like to hear from folks who have actually run or participated in them, especially about difficulty, length, and tips for running them smoother.
@dirtypeanut I like Dark Rites at Fort Dalton, an early Adventurer's League scenario, as it has some character hooks included.
Essentials Kit is best for new GMs, and small groups, as it includes lots of tools, and modular quests; but you need to create characters.
The various Starter Kits are much more pickup and play, and include pregenerated characters. The new Stormwreck Isle has a nice open choice of missions. (You won't finish the overall plot in 3H, just one mission; but that also sets up for future play).
For new players the Starter Kit pregens are a good place to start.
@sgryphon Awesome! Will also look into the Starter Kits.
