The First Cart

This year there is no fire.

THIS IS THE ONE TO START WITH. Written for somebody who has never sat behind the screen - and for a table that has never played.

WHAT YOU GET - 37 pages, and nothing left for you to invent

- 5 scenes, every one written out in full - read-aloud text, what happens if they fail, what to do if they skip it

- 3 battle maps in three versions each: DM, player, and no grid. 70 px per 5-foot square for a clean VTT import

- 4 ready-to-play 1st-level characters. No session zero needed

- Full stat blocks printed beside the scene that uses them

- Secrets, tables and handouts, plus written help for when the party does something you did not plan for

NOTHING HERE CAN KILL A NEW CHARACTER BY ACCIDENT. The encounters are built for a first table, and every one of them has a way out that is not a fight.

THE FILES - four PDFs: A4 and US Letter, each in colour and in a printer-friendly build. The printer-friendly version is the same book in pure white, nothing removed. Plus 9 map images.

Compatible with Fifth Edition. Instant digital download - nothing is posted.

GETTING YOUR FILES - two things worth knowing

The download does not work well from the Etsy phone app. Use a computer, or a phone browser rather than the app.

If you check out as a guest, the link in your email is the only copy you get - save the files before you close it.

Made with AI assistance: the text and maps of this adventure were written and generated with AI, then edited, checked and laid out by hand.
