D&D introduction at work - one shot ideas needed! (self.dnd)

Hi lemmings,

I've been asked to do DM a D&D introduction one-shot at work. I work in IT, and there are - as expected - a few nerds who are interested in dipping their toes in the warm TTRPG waters.

I've already run "The Wild Sheep Chase" (revised to be compatible with level 1 characters) in the past, to great success. But they want more!

Have you run short 2-3 hour one-shot adventures? Care to share them with me? I'm not against shopping around on the DM's Guild either, but there's ALOT. So I figured I could ask you guys to give me some pointers!

The Adventurer's League modules on the DM's Guild that end in -00 are usually good for introducing people to D&D. They usually have a nice balance of role-play and tactical combat, are low level, and are short or broken down into segments. I personally enjoyed DDAL10-00 Ice Road Trackers. It's four short 1-hour episodes that can be strung together for a larger story arc.

Thanks I'll have a look!
