A Battle Lost

 

By Matt Unsworth

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: As those around you start to panic and flee the battlefield, you wonder how you will keep your head & survive this day….


What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 15 keyed locations.


 Usability/formatting


 You get no dungeon here and this is less of an adventure and more of a scenario with which you could kick off a campaign. As a campaign starter I could see this being a pretty memorable way to kick things off, the characters fleeing the collapse of the army they were part of.


 The writing is very basic, you will need to improvise a fair amount to get the most out of this scenario. Some of the locations do provide with interesting choices, mostly to fight, help or flee.


 Included are some decent tables to help you get started really quickly. Rolling up character equipment and background is very easy. There is a good search table too which while only has mundane items in it is fairly well stocked.


 We get essentially a point crawl map which is easy to make out what goes where and run off.


Portability


  Without much detail provided you can plot this down pretty easily filling in your own names and motivations.



Recommendation


  You will need to do some work with this one but I think it actually provides a really good foundation to start a campaign off of. This could be a really memorable set piece that puts a fire under the players right from the get go. Are they going to be deserters or try to build back better?


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