In “No Tears Over Spilled Coffee,” the players’ characters are new hires at Strixhaven University’s famed Firejolt Café. When their manager suddenly grows ill, it’s up to the party to keep the business running! This free D&D adventure is intended for a group of three to four 1st-level characters. It can be completed in about two to three hours and includes a free map from Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos!
Things couldn’t be more charming for this coffee-shop adventure. If you’re looking for a cozy little one-shot that gives you a great introductory session to the world of both roleplaying and Dungeons & Dragons, this is a handy pick. And you can’t beat the price.
Over the course of this adventure, you can expect new players to engage with every part of the system. You’ll find a minor combat, ample opportunities for roleplaying and skill challenges as the normal daily grind in a fantasy coffee shop.
For new DMs, this is a low-stakes way to get familiar with the ins-and-outs of running the game.Nothing here is likely to prove a threat to any character, and in fact the game leaves some of the sections fairly open-ended if players are enterprising.
So while it might be difficult to spin this into a campaign, this Strixhaven preview adventure makes for a great one-shot. Or perhaps you could use this as a mini-game if players take on a job at campus.
