Best Dungeons & Dragons One-Shots For People New To D&D 5e
When people are new to Dungeons & Dragons, one of the best places to start is playing a one-shot adventure rather than diving straight into a more extended campaign.

It can also be a fun way to try new classes or styles of play within an established group who are still relatively new to D&D.
