The article praises “Baker’s Doesn’t”, a whimsical Dungeons & Dragons adventure that reworks Hansel and Gretel as a rescue mission in a candy-filled cottage. It argues that the adventure shows how a playful, lower-stakes story can be memorable and reward creative problem-solving as much as combat.

Published in 2024 in the 10-adventure collection Dragon Delves, it is designed for level-three characters and can be run in a few hours. Players search for the missing dragon wyrmling Briochebane, facing comic candy-themed threats and a hag, while discovering that shopkeeper Edith Applegarth helped the hag in exchange for sweets.
