One page dungeon contest 2022
OSE, levels 1-4.
Premise: A mysterious well is rumoured to be full of treasure.
What do we get here?
A single page gives 10 keyed locations in a dungeon.
Usability/formatting
I like a lot about the set up of this adventure. The map from Gustav Sokol is pretty well drawn and has a decent number of loops in it. There is also a decent amount of evil cult stuff theme-ing the dungeon which I always appreciate too.
The initial implication that there is or has been another adventuring party at this location helps make the world feel lived in however the designer does not fully follow through here. We had a great opportunity for some faction play that never comes to fruition.
We get a serious whack of treasure given out here, may be a little too much and not especially unique. There is space to add uniqueness with the weapons not having their properties defined but that should really be done for the DM.
The writing is information only so you'll have to improv your own evocative descriptions on top, given the constraints of a one page dungeon this is not too surprising really.
Portability
You should be able to drop this in to a hex or as an adventure seed in most fantasy campaigns pretty easily.
Recommendation
With some tweaking this could be a rock solid adventure, if you put in a little work it will be worth it in my opinion. Running as is this is probably fine for drop in content when your players catch you on the hop.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
