One page dungeon contest 2022
No game or level
Premise: A museum is holding a special exhibit to celebrate an anniversary and thieves are looking to steal the wonders on show!
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a map of the museum with seven wonders spread over six floors, most of which have two or three rooms.
Usability/formatting
To get the positives out of the way the seven items available to be stolen are at least interesting on some level an I do appreciate that the writer is trying to do something different here by creating an adventure that can be run in two ways, either with the players as thieves or security.
That being said I do not think you could run this as is. The text needs another editing pass, there are a number of mistakes in there, some of them silly. You better have your zoom function ready because to get everything on the page the room and item descriptions are pretty tiny.
The dungeon itself is laid out in a branching fashion rather than one with loops. With what is presented you will have to do a lot of the work yourself to flesh out the actual encounters and you will probably have to do it on the fly.
Portability
Heist adventures are notoriously difficult to pull off in a lot of systems so you will be restricted to something like Blades in the Dark if you really want to run this adventure. The setting implies a fairly modern or futuristic type world for the adventure so you could not really run it in fantasy land.
Recommendation
It is nice to see something a bit different even if it does not work, I would not run this even if I do appreciate the attempt. PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
