One-Shot Description
The Vanishing Hut: No one remembers when that hut appeared in the middle of the woods. As far as anyone can tell, no one has lived in it for years. The locals made up horror stories about a monster living in there that comes out at night to terrorize the local kids. Everyone laughed and soon the hut became a forgotten legend. That is until people started to go missing.
So far, everyone who went to that hut looking for answers has yet to come back. Do you have what it takes to find the missing townsfolk? Well lets find out, step into The Vanishing Hut.

One-Shot Description
2026: A Space Quiescence: A flash of light blinds you as you wake up … did you oversleep? Miss your turn on watch? Did the exhaustion finally hit? You try to rack your brain on what could have happened, until you realize you’re not where you should be. A strange metal room, with a group of strangers on all sides just as confused as you are.
Suddenly the ceiling above you moves and strange grey figures look down on you with giant eyes and bulbous heads, almost like a children’s drawing of a person. Muttering in a language you don’t understand, the emotions still come across. Excitement, laughter, intrigue. The ceiling closes, a door opens and at the end of a long corridor you discover where you are. An otherworldly colosseum, and it’s your turn to fight, Gladiator. You will have to fight your way to freedom, but who you fight is up to you.

One-Shot Description
Rooftop Rebellion: Word on the streets is that the Ally Cats are recruiting outside mercenaries and sellswords for their next mission. The Ally Cats fight for the equal rights of their brethren and for the worldwide reform in how critterfolk are treated. They will be considered ‘Beastkin’ no longer.
Join Yuki and her scrappy band of do-gooders in their fight to dismantle the system at any cost. Revolution? Rebellion? War? Yuki might not know what’s on the horizon, but she does know this. The first step is ousting the corrupt ambassador of Tortuaguana for his lies and revealing his betrayal to the masses. For that, she needs fighters, healers, and strategists alike, and heroes are in short supply these days. Ones willing to risk their lives for a cause they believe in are virtually nonexistent. So what say you, adventurers? Can she call upon you for this fray? However it may end?

One-Shot Description
Scales and Whiskers: In your years of service to the Solspel Swordsmen Guild, you’ve seen your fair share of odd jobs. . . but few that you’ve seen could top this. Peri Meriweather, the Mayor of the farming village, East Midland, is requesting help getting control over her housecat. . . which has been polymorphed into a dragon.
The thought of it strikes you as almost comical, until you notice the small golden harp symbol scribed at the bottom of the page. The pay seems awfully high for such a tame-seeming job too. Something odd just might be afoot here. To find out for yourself, all you have to do is sign your name on the line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are the events?
Our events last six hours unless specified otherwise. This includes one-shot playing time and several designated breaks. Participants are free to hang out and explore the venue before and after the event.
How many seats are available per table?
A maximum of six seats are available per table. This helps ensure the one-shot is balanced regarding how much time each player is given to participate.
How do I sign in at the event?
When you arrive at the event venue, find the D20 Grow Co. LLC merchandise kiosk. There, a D20 Grow Co. LLC member will ask for your name and direct you to your Game Master's table.
Can I bring my own custom character sheet from home?
Players may bring their own custom character sheet but it must receive the Game Master’s approval before use in the event. Character sheets can be submitted for approval at the event before the one-shot has started or they can be submitted in advance using our private Discord chat. The link will be provided via email upon purchase of a D20 Grow Co. LLC event ticket.
Character sheets can be rejected for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to:
- Character level/ overpowered abilities
- Overly advantageous inventory items
- Use of a race, class, background, or motivation that is incompatible with the one-shot premise or edition
- Presence of inappropriate content
These custom character sheet rules ensure the one-shots are conducted as fairly and respectfully as possible while being conscious of time.
As stated in our “Campaign and Venue Rules”, the Game Master has the final say in all disputes. If your custom character sheet is rejected, please do not waste the one-shot's limited time arguing with the Game Master's decision. Be courteous of everyone's experience and choose a pre-made character sheet.
