We’re heading into the final week - and we’re inching ever closer to unlocking our first additional adventure stretch goal!
The past few weeks have certainly kept us on our toes. Due to a major issue at launch, over 80% of our project followers and VIPs never received their “we’re live!” notification emails. In other words, our first-day momentum was suddenly reset to zero. Despite that hurdle, this amazing community still pushed us to fully funded on day one, which was nothing short of incredible.
Since then, we’ve been personally reaching out to our VIPs to make sure everyone who wanted to be here knows we’re here. Bit by bit, they’ve been joining the campaign - and together with a wave of new backers discovering us for the first time, we’ve been steadily climbing toward that extra adventure. We’re genuinely grateful for every single one of you who has come on board.
We’d hoped to share this next piece with you sooner, but between navigating launch chaos, managing the campaign and editing over eight hours of footage, some things had to take a brief backseat. Now that the dust has settled…
We’re thrilled to finally present:
Adventures Ahoy!
Set sail for something truly special! No Short Rests! is taking Dungeons & Dragons off the table and onto the water with Adventures Ahoy! - an actual play of Tomb of Grief, our level 1 adventure from One Room One Shots, whilst cruising along the River Lee.
Featuring an all-star cast from across the UK’s TTRPG community, discover just how easy it is to run a full adventure right from the book, using our free pre-made characters included with the One Room One Shots collection.
See for yourself how much story, strategy and atmosphere can unfold in a single location - and all in just one session. Climb aboard, roll initiative and join us for an adventure like no other!
Starring:
Dungeon Master - Jordan Carmichael, @ModifiedRoll @alwaysreadytorollgm

We have a second Adventures Ahoy! video on its way to you next week, this time diving deep into our level 5 adventure, The Temple of Forgotten Depths!
We truly hope you enjoy both of these incredible actual play adventures - and remember, a rising tide raises all ships, so let's push for that stretch goal adventure and beyond!
