How much can you prep in less than a quarter hour? Not much, but it's a good thing you don't need much for an effective dungeons and dragons adventure! Focus on using two or more random encounters to determine what your adventure's central tension will be, and then generate a plethora of quest hooks from that! Throw all the stuff you need into a simple dungeon, and boom, you've got a dungeon, quest hooks, and a D&D adventure written in a quarter hour!

For the blessings of the Algorithm, I comment! There are two reasons I think this is great. 1- you immediately start with content, there's no vague ideas like "rescue a princess" 2- you can't write yourself into a corner with this where you need convoluted nonsense to tie your ideas together. By starting with content and only going in directions that make sense, how could this ever fail?

Criminally undersubscribed

Just 0.07 seconds too slow. Sorry.

Working backwards is an excellent advice. I too find it easier to figure out "how did we get here" than "where do we go from here."

Random Encounters never really inspired me for adeventure design. Using two random encounters and thinking of it as conflict? Brilliant.

Somehow, I apparently watched and liked this video already, so since i can't like twice im dropping this comment for the sake of the algorithm

I was skeptical of the video title, but glad I clicked. Never would've thought to do a session plan this way, but now I'll have to try it out. Thank you for the good advice! :)

I found your channel, thanks to the algorithm, a week or two ago. I've been gobbling up your videos. Really good advice, I appreciate that. But equally I appreciate that you appear to be family friendly. I have a bunch of kids and a few are aspiring or new DMs. I like that I can share videos with them. You speak clearly at a reasonable pace with few profanities. The video length is short enough to not lose their attention, but long enough to get your ideas out there. Well done and thank you.

I had a dream that there was a D&D DM video that skipped the long preamble and just gave practical tips and methods for DMing, with specific examples for inspiration. Then I never woke up, and I eventually realized this wasn’t a dream

This is such brilliantly simple advice I cannot believe I haven't considered this approach before. What an awesome way to kill two birds with one stone--you have the conflict for a bunch of in game drama, and you have all sorts of ideas for how to interact with that conflict. Invaluable advice!

This is actually brilliant. Putting plot hooks first has always felt like it was missing something. But generating two plot hooks/dangers to discover a emergent narrative then building the central conflict of your session or dungeon out from there? THAT'S next level DM advice.

The first time I did this it was unintentional, but it worked out really well and created some of the most memorable sessions for my group. I had a city in the north with an un cooperative and distant Jarl, and the players needed to get into his keep to find the McGuffin. I combined this with a Beholder and a neighboring orc tribe.
