Magobia's Midnight Ingredients run

  

By Nikolaj Bourguigon aka The Bearded Belgian

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: You are goblins working for a witch, go get the ingredients she needs.


What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 13ish points of interest to explore.


 Usability/formatting


 This is a pretty bare bones effort, there is little in the way of descriptions for locations or details on the challengers players might encounter there. You are supposed to make up a lot of this by expanding on the meagre information given. 


 I could see this being a fun little one shot however you need to do a lot of fleshing out here. Even the witch who sends you out on this adventure does not have anything in the way of personality indicated. I get this is a short form of adventure writing however you can do a lot with a couple of key words as Joseph R. Lewis does in his adventures.


 What information we are given might at least allow you to tease out some faction play which is something.


 Missing entirely is any treasure or rewards, I suppose as lowly goblins the reward is not getting punished for failure.



Portability


  Unless you are running a goblin based campaign I think you would have to run this as a one shot which limits the portability or usefulness of this adventure.



Recommendation


  Could this be fun? I think so. Can you run it out of the box? No. This is a starting point at best.


 If you can improvise well on the spot or want to put in some work to flesh things out this could be a fun one shot or short campaign.


PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
