Howdy folks.
A friend of mine has been itching to play some DnD and I drew the short straw to run it. I don’t think we have time for more than a one shot so I come for ideas.
Normally I’m good with coming up with stuff but she wants to do something where they get to play as evil instead of your typical heroes. My problem is everything I come up with just feels like typical hero quest but called evil. Like “kidnap the princess” just feels like a re-skin of “rescue the princess”. Hoping y’all have something more to get me thinking.
I am aware of the Critical Role Mordor one shot that I’ll take some inspiration from.
Thanks in advance y’all
How about a “Suicide Squad” like run. The players can create all kinds of evil prisoners that get send to kill a thing that all the heros already failed to defeat. Now they can try do to what they are told to in exchange for their freedom or whatever or try to run away and and not risk their own life’s on the way.
A lot of chances to play evil or even reconsider when the little orphan begs for help.
