One page dungeon contest 2022
No system or level given.
Premise: Your buddy got himself in debt to the boatman on the river Styx and needs you to go settle up for him.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us 6 keyed locations to explore.
Usability/formatting
A journey to meet the boatman on the river Styx is a great set up for an adventure however this is not a great adventure. What this whole things boils down to is a massive stair case the characters have to go down and you roll for random encounters every hour. I like the concept it is just the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm sure you could probably spice this one up but it will require some work on the DMs part.
There is also a hint of a railroad here with the way all alternate means of travelling down the shaft are magically cut off. Not great adventure design.
Portability
You need the river Styx and a boatman or an analogue for this to work in your setting.
Recommendation
I'd probably just take the core concept of this one and start over.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
