One page dungeon contest 2022
No system, no level given.
Premise: Something green and destructive fell from the sky, go get it for a wizard.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a dungeon with 6 keyed rooms.
Usability/formatting
Some decently evocative writing is fairly well ordered to paint a nice mental picture of this dungeon. The writing gets to all your scenes to really put you in the location. Initially it looks like there might be a bit much text however after reading through it it appears to be about the right amount for the adventure.
I like the location and mcguffin here even if the initial hook is pretty weak sauce, you can probably scratch up something better yourself.
My other complaint is that there is only one monster, the troll. Given all the carrion lying round you can fit in one or two encounters with wild scavengers to flesh things out a bit and possibly open up a bit of faction play if you can turn the wild animals against the troll.
Other than the mcguffin itself the treasure is nothing to write home about, the big boy does make up for that at least.
All in all this is a nicely flavourful effort and it is easy to understand thanks to one of the free Dyson logos maps on which it is based.
Portability
As long as you have some wilderness near by you can drop this adventure into any fantasy type setting easily. Would fit well if you need something to help populate a hex crawl.
Recommendation
Definitely actionable content you can drop and run. I would want to tweak it a little but you are basically good to go. Would recommend.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
