I haven't tried running any one-shots with Whitehack because I use it for my main ongoing campaign so when I run one-shots I like to run something different. That being said I do have a few suggestions for things I think would work well.
Orcs in Tarodan's Tomb is a fun 5e one shot which I ran in 5e last week. It would convert to Whitehack no bother though. It's a small dungeon with a mix of NPCs to keep things interesting.
The Sky Blind Spire by Michael Prescott is an awesome little puzzle dungeon.
The Gnomes of Lenvec for Lamentations provides a small village with starving peasants, an uncaring lord and an unique and hilarious take on gnomes just next door. It's a situation rather than an adventure but I am keen to see it play out.
I'll beat some on my own drum here: Why not give the included "Pale Orc" a whirl? It's a chase, some investigation, a mystery, a dungeon crawl and a boss fight. It is short enough for a session, especially if you use phases. It's only like 4 pages to read, and easily extensible by use of the other setting stuff in the book.
I'm using Hot Springs Island! Not really a "one shot" but with some work you could definitely turn it into a sort of introduction to a larger campaign... an ending to be explored later type of deal. A little further down should be a reference someone made for Hot Springs and the White Hack.
No, but I feel free to run anything from any dungeon crawl type game. So whatever you like will be fine.
ReplyDeleteHah, I want someone to make a choice for me :)

ReplyDeleteDyson Logos wrote a good one called Goblin Gully that you could check out.
