One page dungeon contest 2022
No system or level given.
Premise: A plague is ravaging the city and some of the corpses are going missing.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a five room dungeon.
Usability/formatting
I can see this being a very frustrating dungeon for players are there are secret doors everywhere which you might not find with bad rolls and riddles you have to figure out or your passage is blocked. This is compounded by the problem of no alternative routes. It would be very easy to just get stuck with this one. Too many of the rooms are basically empty or the items in them empty so there is nothing to interact with.
The treasure on offer is nothing special and there is not too much in the way of a decent plot either. A necromancer is raising zombies, we have no idea why and the plague that sets up the whole thing is left unconnected to what is actually happening.
There are some really good blog posts out there on how to do a five room dungeon, this one does not seem to have followed them.
Portability
As long as you have a city that could suffer a plague you can drop this down and run it.
Recommendation
You could knock up something better than this in 15 minutes I think. Not worth the effort really and comes with too many points where the adventure might just grind to a halt.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
