The Ambulatory Temple

 

By Robin Gibson

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system given, level 1-10.


Premise: The people of the city prayed for its destruction and a sentient temple has grown limbs to answer those prayers.


What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 16 locations on a walking temple.


 Usability/formatting


 Truly bonkers from concept to execution in the best possible way this is a pretty gonzo adventure.



 The writing does an excellent job of bringing both clarity and flavour to the "dungeon" in an incredibly low word count. Various creatures that are encountered as stats "as X" making it easy to run this in a variety of system. I also like the inclusion of a variety of creatures on the walker that can be non combat enouncters.


 About the only thing really missing from this adventure is a bit more in the way of treasure, there are only two items by my count.


 The art provided is simple and really brings the adventure to life. It helps to have something like this to understand such a whacky adventure.



Portability


  It might require a certain campaign or world to fit a set up like this in as it is slightly higher magic/more gonzo than some might like. If your campaign/world has no place for humour you might struggle with this one.


Recommendation


  Strong recommend on this one, has all the elements required for an easy to run AND memorable adventure. You just might need to be a bit careful matching up the challenge to your specific system, number of players and their characters levels. 


Well deserving of the honourable mention this entry got in the contest and maybe should have featured higher!


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