About the Book

The witch says to get in the oven. She's not lying. But nothing about her looks trustworthy.

Breadcrumbs is a complete, zero-prep D&D 5e one-shot for 1-3 players that retells the story of Hansel and Gretel - and turns everything you think you know inside out.

Your players wake in a dark forest with no memory of how they arrived. Cold, starving, and desperate, they follow a trail of breadcrumbs to a house built of gingerbread and candy. The old woman inside feeds them, locks them in a bedroom overnight, and sends them into the basement to fight monsters that were once children. Then she loads her oven with wood, lights the fire, and asks them to climb inside.

She is telling the truth. The oven will save them. But no sane person would believe her.

This is not the fairy tale you remember. The witch is the healer. The escape is the tragedy. And the ending where the children push her into the oven is the worst outcome of all.

What's Inside:

  • 88-page complete adventure - everything you need, nothing you don't
  • 4 fully statted pre-generated characters (Levels 3-4): Hansel, Gretel, Liesel, Fritz
  • 5 unique creatures with complete stat blocks including two new foes: the Starving Wolf and the Blightvine
  • 4 battle maps: the forest path, candy house ground floor, basement, and locked bedroom
  • Two complete endings with full epilogue narration - one devastating, one bittersweet
  • Appendix of DM tools: evidence tracker, ambiguity guide, act-by-act timeline, and quick reference
  • Extended content: campaign drop-in rules, alternate tellings, and post-adventure hooks
  • Runs 2-3 hours with zero preparation
Perfect For:
- Busy DMs who want a powerful session without hours of prep
- Small groups of 1-3 players looking for something beyond a standard dungeon crawl
- Tables that love morally complex stories with no clean right answers
- DMs who want a horror-adjacent adventure without gore or shock value
- Anyone who wants to know what the Brothers Grimm would have done with D&D

The fourth book in The Twisted Tale Series - dark fairy tale retellings for D&D 5e designed for small groups and busy DMs.

Compatible with the fifth edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game.

The breadcrumbs lead somewhere.
The question is whether you trust what's waiting at the end.
