One page dungeon contest 2022
No system, no level given.
Premise: Dungeons beneath a ruined castle may contain missing gold and a portal that an evil noble escaped through.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us six rooms to explore.
Usability/formatting
I am not sure about the instant death ending to this adventure, otherwise it is a perfectly usable little dungeon for players to explore. Despite only being 6 rooms they are nicely laid out to give different options for explorations and alternate pathways.
It seems like this adventure will work with your favourite OSR game pretty easily. There is not much on the way of traps, the monsters are decent and there is a little bit of interaction to be had both with creatures discovered as well as stuff to poke and prod.
You do not get much in the way of treasure however the random contract with a minor devil left lying around is more than enough to make the whole thing worth while.
The writing is clear and simple, nothing evocative just get you by text that you can riff on. I also really like the art which is again simple but retains some charm to it.
Portability
It should be fairly easy to plop this under any ruined castle although you will have to provide your own castle. As long as your setting as devils or something that can stand in for them you are good to go with this one.
Recommendation
Definitely content you can run. A solid effort you can easily seed a rumour for then pull out as required.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
