what's a good one-shot for a noob GM to run? preferably either DND 5e or something *stupid* easy to learn, i keep procrastinating bc studying is hard

the Goblin Quest booklet has character sheets that come with little goblin silhouettes you can fill in so i made a bunch of backups for my party (mostly mixing and matching options from the tables in the book)

ended up - writing some flavor text - making a quest - pre-rolling misfortunes. usually the quest-making is done in-game but i figure making players do minimal work the first time around is a good move (also a bit less up-front stress for me)
