Zineshot #3: Dragon's Deceit

Zineshot #3: Dragon's Deceit

Every Dungeon Master knows the feeling.


You buy a one-shot. Twenty pages later, you know everything about the local economy, the political tensions between three forgotten kingdoms, and the childhood of an NPC the players will probably never meet. But what the adventure is actually about? No idea.


Our Zineshots solve that problem.


No endless lore. No hours of preparation. No homework. Just a complete game night, ready to play.


In Dragon's Deceit, the players are hired to solve a strange problem. Valuables are vanishing all across the village. Tools, jewelry, and trade goods disappear without a trace in the night.


Soon, the tracks lead to a band of kobolds who claim to act on behalf of a powerful dragon. The pursuit takes the players to an abandoned mine full of dangers, hidden passages, clever traps, and unexpected discoveries. But as is so often the case in adventures, not everything is as it seems.


Dragon's Deceit is specially designed as an accessible Level 1 adventure and features everything that makes a classic Dungeons & Dragons one-shot so fun: exploration, roleplay, puzzles, combat, and an unforgettable finale.


Like every Zineshot, Dragon's Deceit contains everything you need for a complete evening of Dungeons & Dragons.

Very funny and complete adventure, it's the most fun I've ever had running a pre-written one shot. The party was very amused as well and stunned by the props that came with the adventure. The mini's in the package are awesome and very helpful too.

This package gives everything you need for a memorable session. A well-written story, high quality print, extra downloads and atmospheric music. I will definitely be checking what they release next.

The art and layout inside the zine enhance the vibe completely. When we laid the maps on the table and played the soundtrack the immersion spiked. Players forgot they were at home.

Prachtig.
Ik ga wel het einde aanpassen voor de tere kinderzieltjes (ze zijn 12).

Great D&D night with this one-shot! Amazing :)

Ordered the Zineshot Anthology (excellent oneshots that I hope to implement in my Acquisitions Incorporated campaign) and very happy with what I got. Booklets look good, illustrations are light and uplifting and the adventures themselves are great. Shipment was lightning fast, I got my order the day after purchase. Will definitely return!

Marcel

Great accessory for DND!

Kim

The atmosphere is excellent and the mystery slowly unfolds in a satisfying way. It requires a bit of guidance from the Dungeon Master, but the payoff is worth it.

Kaisa

I'm loving the design, it's exactly what I needed!
Also, look at that goldfoil cover, I love it!

Richard Green

The adventure leaves enough room for improvisation. A few scenes are written loosely, which I enjoyed because it let me tailor the tone to my group. Others might prefer more structure.

Olivier

I hope more styles come out in the future. I am close to finishing this one and I want the next to look different because I will definitely keep using these.

Adrian

It handles ink, pencil and markers without issue. I erase constantly and the paper still looks fresh after multiple revisions.

Alessia

The story is dark and unusual, with moments that genuinely surprised my group. It is not overly complex, which makes it easy to run, but still full of eerie detail.
