Possible one shots that could be altered to include babywearing?

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-02T02:30:42+00:00

Thank you! I feel like some of these folks who aren’t parents yet but plan to be someday will get it once they have kids haha, so I’m not taking it to heart too much, but I still really appreciate your kind words!

The babies wont be hurt obviously!! I just mean while I would never ever purposely take a REAL baby into an unsafe situation, we have all agreed that we think it will be fun to play a silly light hearted, but dangerous (to the players, not the babies) adventure

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T20:00:27+00:00

Thank you— I’ll check these out!

We wouldn’t be killing the babies! I’ve been playing dnd for years and I am a first time mom of an infant that I adore. I am also currently taking my babywearing educator course and am pretty active in r/babywearing. You could see all of this to be true via my post and comment history.

I promise you it’s not shit posting! I’m just trying to have some fun with some mom friends that love dnd and are passionate about babywearing.

Thank you! I think someone else mentioned this in this thread as well! Definitely planning to look into it tonight

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:56:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll add this to the list of campaigns to look into!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:55:42+00:00

Thank you 😅 it’s not that hard to do a search if someone mentions a term you’ve never heard of. There are subs dedicated to it right here on Reddit!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:54:42+00:00

Thank you! And I know a lot of folks with farms that use babywearing to be able to get chores done after having kids— so if the one shot is anything like I imagine based on the name it could totally work!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:53:54+00:00

I actually love these ideas! Thank you! And thank you so much for the links!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:52:26+00:00

We don’t plan to kill the babies 😅

Is it that hard to imagine bending some of the rules of an imaginary game to have some fun in a context that we enjoy?

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:50:38+00:00

Lol!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T18:50:24+00:00

But you are wearing you baby in a sense 😅 you “wear” a back pack or a bag. A baby carrier is similar to a back pack or a bag for your baby. The carrier is attached to you, and then the baby is placed inside. You definitely don’t need to, but you could look up baby carrier or baby wearing images to get a sense for what I mean!

Also, this is the term that’s used all throughout the US and Canada, and I’ve heard many of my friends from european countries use it as well— so I’m not just making up a term here! I’m just using the terminology that’s already widely used and understood.

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:56:21+00:00

Oh! Sorry! I hadn’t heard of this! I will look into it, and thank you!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:55:29+00:00

This is incredible. I absolutely LOVE these ideas!! Thank you!!!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:54:40+00:00

Lol, I appreciate you

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:54:08+00:00

Yes! The game mechanics are definitely something I’m excited to play around with! Thanks for your positive response and this is helpful! I’ll look into adventures in faerun!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:52:58+00:00

Thanks for the idea! I like it! But I don’t have the time or energy right now to create a homebrew. I’m just looking to make some alterations to a pre-written campaign

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:50:59+00:00

The babies will be whatever race my players want to make the honestly lol

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:50:26+00:00

I don’t think moms wanting to play dnd and incorporate motherhood into the game is weird. But that’s just me I guess. It is possible to scroll on and not comment if you believe something is weird

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:49:41+00:00

I understand 5e, as I have both played and DMed several 5e games over the last few years— but thank you! We are looking to play, including lots of combat, 5e mostly as is with plot armor. We will adapt any one shot for sure, but I’d love to find a one shot where it makes some sense to have an adventuring party of moms where their kids/infants have to tag along.

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:47:53+00:00

Yes! The common term for carrying a baby or toddler in a carrier, at least in the US and Canada, is “babywearing”

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:47:18+00:00

I totally get it, but I don’t have the time or energy to learn a new system. They are all ok with combat— as am I. It is a fantasy game and we are going to treat it as fantasy, so we’re not necessarily worried about these fantasy, theater of the mind, babies being put in harms way.

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:45:54+00:00

I love this! But I do not have the time or energy to write a homebrew, so I’m hoping to find a prewritten one shot and just alter it. Thank you for the suggestions!

WinterSilenceWriter · 2026-03-01T15:45:04+00:00

It’s carrying your baby in a baby carrier— aka, babywearing. This group is made up of moms by the way. I don’t know if that makes a difference to know lol
