One afternoon module for a camping trip?
-
Next week, I’m going camping with my wife, my brother and his wife, and my 9-year-old niece… My brother asked if I’d prep a DnD game to play. My niece knows the basics and I’m modifying rules to make it easier for her, and I’m making a bunch of characters for them to choose from based on Gravity Falls characters.
I’m prepping A Wild Sheep Chase for playing out in the fresh air, but we have a chance of rain I’d like suggestions for another short adventure i can prep. The sillier the better!

What about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_Heist ? It’s not DnD, but the rules are ridiculously simple: you’re a bear and if you want to do bear stuff, you roll in your “bear” skill. If not, you roll for “not bear” (i.e. criminal). It’s so dumb it hurts, but it works for all ages and I had a blast trying this with some friends.

That’s not a bad option. I’ve watched the Honey Heist games that Critical Role did and enjoyed them. The problem is that it would require me to plan out the whole thing. I only have a week and I’d prefer a module I can just read through.

You’re looking for a oneshot. (a dnd campaing meant to be short and completed in a single session.) The joy of oneshots is that your players are usually not particularly attached to the characters, so a TPK won’t necessarily piss everyone off, and you can ramp the difficulty some.
plenty of sources for free (and not free,) oneshots in a variety of the usual places.
DMsGuild has plenty that are free, or ‘pay what you want’ as a tip, if you feel so inclined.

Yea, Im a DnD vet. I’m definitely looking for a oneshot. But im looking for a silly, fun one that my 9-year-old niece might like.

how’s she feel about cats?
or maybe she’s more into doggos?
there’s also the 15 minute dnd set, which are a few oneshots in 15 minutes; more of your ‘normal’ dnd. has he advantage of being broken up.

That’s a fun-looking one and she loves cats. Lord Bitey even sounds like a Gravity Falls character.

If you want something simple, you could try Peril in Pinebrook. It was designed to be used in schools to teach kids to play. It uses a much simplified set of rules and pre-generated characters. I’m going to be using it with my family in a few weeks

Winnie the Pooh characters could be translated to DND without much effort: Pooh as a totem Barbarian, Tigger as a Swashbuckling Rogue, Oath of Redemption Paladin Eeoyre, Owl as Nature Domain Cleric, etc. Then you can build a small adventure in the hundred acre woods to collect supplies for a birthday party or something similar
