Hi - I'm a veteran D&D player/DM (started in 80s with red box etc) who now mainly plays Pathfinder and other weirder RPGs like Pendragon etc with my equally ancient mates. I mentioned that I played D&D to a friend who has an autistic son who has bought the 5e rules and wants to play (I'm friends with his parents through a wider friend group who met on holiday, so there are other kids I can potentially recruit), and they asked if I could DM something online.
I think there's a fair chance the kids'll just goof around, so I don't wanna hand-make something lovingly only for it to go tits up. What decent 5e one-shots are there on Roll20 where everything is done for you? Nothing cutesy or involving excessive amounts of fey or tieflings please.
Any help gratefully received!

Hi - been loving the firewall build and nice to see a really strong sorc build this season, but I'm a bit confused over the different builds online, which all seem wildly different. I'm running the D4builds one which has flickerstep, but notice lots of the others refer to staying inside the circle, which seems impossible if you're teleporting all over the shop. Also the talisman/charms etc seem v different depending on who you go to? I'm on Cauldron and Emberfury, but I'm seeing other builds with stuff like Blood Mad Idol etc?
Any tips gratefully received! Thanks very much

I am acutely aware I'm being really, really stupid here. I am out of gold and need some, so want to sell some legendary seals (I have lots of mats, but need cash) and I hear they go for 13 million. But I can't see which vendor buys them? I watched a YT vid but couldn't work out where in Temis the vendor is. Any help gratefully received!

Hi - keep seeing warlocks (I think) with an attack that looks like a bunch of big red hands coming up out of the ground? Surprisingly difficult to Google this - just want to know A) what build it is, and B) is it any good? I've currently got a Dread Claws build which is decent, but have a bit of big-red-hand envy...

Any tips gratefully received! Thanks

Hi - wanted to revisit the Elric books largely because one of my neighbours (also a fantasy fan, into Warhammer etc, but a bit younger than me) had never heard of Elric and I found this v shocking as to me he is one of the all-time greats. Bit confused over the book order though: I have this edition from the early 90s which compiled a bunch of the old shorter ones which I read in paperback. But I see now people recommend starting with 'Elric of Melnibone' - is that a newer book or is it compiled from some of the shorter ones? Or did I just miss it back in the 80s/90s when I read them as a youngster? Any help gratefully received!

About 25 years ago, my brother was in an incredibly bad car accident in Rotterdam: broke just about every bone in his body bar his spine, skull smashed, severe brain damage, lungs and stomach crushed etc etc (he'd been on a bicycle and was hit by a stolen car doing 75mph). My parents were in Iceland and couldn't get to the hospital quickly. I was in London but I didn't have a passport so had to apply for one rapidly (there was a place in Victoria you can do it). Waited in a huge queue, then got to the front to be told I was in the wrong one and the woman said, 'Well I'm sorry, but your holiday is going to have to wait.' So I looked her in the eye and replied, 'I'm not going on holiday, my brother is dying in a hospital in Rotterdam.' (At that point we had been told there was a high probability he wouldn't survive). Her face went absolutely white. To her credit, at that point she left her booth and walked me to the front of the correct queue, I got to Rotterdam that day, and he survived and made a very good recovery.
