Hey! We run ads on Facebook / Instagram for a similar length of time that you're planning. Sometimes a little longer for pre-launch (like 2 – 3 months). But the bulk of our backing comes from our community. One-Shot Wonders was our 5th Kickstarter campaign, and we had built up a mailing list...
That's amazing feedback, thank you so much for sharing!
Every map was hand drawn by the artist Venatus Maps. We worked with him for more than a year to create all 100 maps in the full Map Library set. Sometimes he would have something in his portfolio already that he could use as a starting...
Appreciate you picking up a copy! No immediate plans to release more on DDB. The full One-Shot Wonders book does have a chapter of urban adventures (plus underground, hilltop and arctic) and there are maps for all of those in the Map Library too.
Thank you!

Thanks for the questions folks. I'm in the UK and it's pretty late at night, so time for me to sign off. I'll keep an eye on this thread tomorrow and the next few days, so if you've got any more questions - go ahead and drop them in there.
Firstly, thank you so much for being a Kickstarter backer, that early support really means the world!
Onto your question of why we launched smaller sets on D&D Beyond: We wanted to make something high-quality at a really accessible price. There aren't a ton of options at the $10 or lower on...
Great to see you!
1) An expansion of the Fantasy Toolkit is always on the list of things we want to do, but other books and ideas keep skipping the queue! Even after 5 years, we still sell hundreds of copies of that book every month. I'd love to see it get a refresh. Hopefully in the next...
1. The adventures are all designed to last a single 2-3 hour session. A lot of people run these adventures at clubs and cons where they've got to be pretty strict on time.
2. They're Levels 1-8, and at the end of each adventure there are suggestions for monster swaps you can make to level it up...
Hey, it's Kay here, co-owner of Roll & Play Press. Our book One-Shot Wonders just launched on D&D Beyond o_O We've taken three of the chapters from the book and released them as collections of 10 adventures with 10 battle maps. Here's the D&D beyond page with all three: D&D Beyond

We're in the FINAL HOURS for One-Shot Wonders!
This is the last chance to claim over 100 session ideas for 5E with bundle discounts. Don't forget, if you pledge for a copy of One-Shot Wonders, we will list your name in the book's acknowledgements as a record of our gratitude (this is optional...
Hi all, we wanted to share our latest Kickstarter campaign: One-Shot Wonders. So far, the project has had incredible support from over 3,400 backers, but there isn't long left to jump on board - the campaign closes in less than 48 hours...
