One page dungeon contest 2022
No system, no level given.
Premise: Goblins and hobgoblins keep a pet giant they feed.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a dungeon split over 3 levels with 11 keyed rooms.
Usability/formatting
The map with this adventure is pretty clear and easy to understand, showing how the different levels interact with each other well. For the small number of rooms there are a decent amount of different ways to work your way through the dungeon.
In general the writing is pretty sparse, you'll have to flesh out the rooms yourself. Implied with in the bare bones writing is some personality to the monsters found in the dungeon which is nice, you will have to tease out the faction play yourself though. Also in needing of fleshing out is the treasure which is just jewels, no magic items at all.
Yet another thing you'll have to do is come up with a hook yourself as there is nothing on why you'd want to go raid this dungeon other than it exists. You would probably be best served slotting this in as a dungeon of underlings to whoever your big bad is and using the letter in room 11 as a clue for the next leg of the adventure/campaign.
Portability
Yes you can drop this adventure into an existing world or campaign fairly easily provided you are willing to do the detail work yourself.
Recommendation
Perfectly serviceable as the basis for something you can drop into a campaign or world you are planning to run. You could not run this straight out the box or use it for a one shot in my opinion. Needs a bit more work to brush it up to table ready. The crazy giant being fed by goblins is a nice base to start from at least.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
