A Tale of a Whale

  

By Steve Adkins and Daniel Rubenstein

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: You got swallowed by a giant whale, time to find a way out.



What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 7 "rooms" inside a whale.


 Usability/formatting


 Very simple both in terms of content and layout this adventure shows how to use simple to your advantage. Everything is very clear and easy to find, there is no fat or padding here.


 The double edged sword of the clear simplicity of this adventure is that you will have to improv on the fly or spend some time expanding out this adventure. While you might have to put a little bit of work in you will never have to invent anything whole sale to run this adventure. Everything you need as a starting point is contained here.


 About the only real complaint I have is that the map is a bit linear however that is the nature of a whale's insides I assume. 


 There are some factions to be interacted with, monsters/traps and some treasure hinted at. How your players actually get out  of the whale is up to them, there are no specific solutions suggested by the adventure just the logical exit points of a living being.


Portability


  I suppose you could re-skin this adventure pretty easily to be the insides of any sufficiently sized creature if you did not want to run a sea based adventure.


Recommendation


  Nice little bit of content ready to be pulled out the moment your players stupidly get themselves eaten by a large creature.


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