A-Maze-Ing Fools An April Fools Day D&D 5E One-Shot Adventure for 2-3 Players: Dungeon Master Ready to Run No Prep Adventure Module

Your players will spend half this adventure playing each other's characters.
They won't see it coming. That's the point.A-Maze-ing Fools is a comedy-mystery one-shot adventure for 2-3 players using characters of levels 3-4, designed to run in a single session of 2-3 hours with zero preparation beyond reading the book. It starts with a missing cat. It ends with a goddess. A mundane errand leads a small party beneath the edge of town into a sealed prison not built of stone - but of law. Leira, goddess of illusion, has been imprisoned here for centuries by a Marut construct of Mechanus that found her very existence to be a violation of cosmic order. The verdict was unanimous. The imprisonment was lawful. And she has been waiting, very patiently, for exactly the kind of people who would follow a cat through a crack in a wall. Her only remaining defense is the one thing she was built for: misdirection. Each time the party descends to a new level, she scrambles her soul's signature across the party's bodies - and someone at the table is suddenly playing someone else's character. What's Inside: - 4-act structure with an estimated 2-3 hour runtime

• The Soul Swap mechanic - players rotate character sheets between acts, playing each other's characters
• 6 fully statted creatures including the Maze Shade, Fussy Shade, Maze Warden, Ordinance Guards, Behavioral Tracker, and the final chamber Warden
• April in Fox Form and Leira Unbound - two playable stat blocks for the adventure's central character
• 4 pre-generated characters designed so that swapping sheets mid-adventure creates interesting dynamics
• 4 battle maps covering every major encounter area
• 3 resolution paths including a traditional ending, a difficult third path, and a thread that leads somewhere much larger
• Complete appendix on Leira, the Maruts, and why they are genuinely irreconcilable forces
• Pressure plate corridor diagram and Soul Swap rotation reference for the DM
• Zero prep required - pick it up and run it tonight

Perfect For: - DMs who want a session that surprises experienced players

• Small groups of 2-3 players looking for something genuinely different
• Tables that want comedy and emotional weight in the same evening
• April Fools Day, convention one-shots, or any night you want to run something memorable
