One page dungeon contest 2022
No system, no level given.
Premise: An Abbess asks the characters to retrieve something from an abandoned temple.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a dungeon with 9 keyed rooms.
Usability/formatting
The hook for this adventure is not the strongest, a simple go fetch quest, I suppose you can mix it up with the other information provided though. There is not much in the way of evocative writing or monster stats however everything else you need to run this adventure is here.
I would say this is one of the most complete adventures in the 2022 one page contest. There are loops, potential factions, stuff to interact with and even unique treasures! Pretty every element of a decent adventure is included here.
There is also some attempt to make the adventure reusable by providing tables for alternate boss/minion options and also a table for rival adventurers you might encounter!
A bit more flavour or detail would not go amiss however this is perfectly actionable content you can slap down on the table as is.
Portability
You might want to do some slight reskinning but this should be an easy adventure to drop down in any game world.
Recommendation
Easy to use and with plenty of alternate options this is a really good effort. I would say this is exactly the short of level you should aim for in a one pager. Yes there could be more detail/lore but you can't have everything in one page. If every adventure in the book was at this level you would have years worth of content you could use even if some of it required a little tweaking.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
