Lost Temple of the Mad Apsara

 


By John Jordan

One page dungeon contest 2022

No game or level


Premise: A ruined temple is ripe for exploration.


What do we get here?


 A single page dungeon gives us 7ish keyed locations.


 Usability/formatting


 It took me a while to grok what was actually going on with the map here and once I did it turns out this thing is pretty linear. There is not much going on here at all really, very little to interact with nothing in the way of faction play and no treasure. 


 We lack a hook for this adventure and like the many level/system-less adventures you have to do work to bring it to the table.


 There is little to inspire you in the writing, it is very functional lacking in anything that brings atmosphere. It also does not help having public domain art behind some of the text making it harder to read in one portion.


Portability


  It would not be hard to put this adventure in any setting, mainly because you are having to do a lot of the work yourself.


Recommendation


 In the end there is little to recommend here, I do not think there are parts I would even be particularly interested in stealing from it. PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
