The Wolves of Welton (5e)
I really enjoyed playing this one-shot with my group last month.

A Haunting in Brenton (5e) DMsGuild – Pay What You Want
“Your adventurers find themselves drawn into a small hamlet in a secluded valley. Very quickly, it becomes obvious that this seemingly quiet town has a dark past, and the party has become caught up in it. They’ll have to unravel the mystery of what happened in Brenton, and once they do, defeat the ancient evil that has cursed it. If they don’t, they may be doomed to remain forever, a part of the story known as A Haunting in Brenton”
Return to Camp Adonis (Tribality – 3:16: Carnage Amongst the Stars)
An adventure created by Tribality’s Colin McLaughlin. “With Halloween right around the corner, what better a time to revisit [3:16: Carnage Amongst the Stars] and provide a ready-to-run one-shot for people looking for something different?”
