The Holy Temple

  

By Evelyn Nitch-Griffin

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: A temple with demonic rats and angelic cats.



What do we get here?


 A single page gives 16 keyed locations in a dungeon.


 Usability/formatting


The writing for this adventure is pretty easy to follow if on the uninspiring side. I find the whole cat/rat set up a little too cutesy for my tastes too. 


Why will the head cat tell you about where to find treasure if the cats are supposed to be protecting the temple from looters? That makes no sense to me even if it is in return for killing all the rats. How angelic can these cats be if they are sub contracting their work and giving up the treasure?


 Speaking of treasure there is a lot of it on offer but not much in the way of traps. I would say the adventure is a little short on stuff to interact with too.


 Thematically things are a bit hit or miss. What has happened in the temple as far as the rats go makes sense at least and the treasure is decently themed to the location. The nature of the temple itself is a bit lacking.


 There are some decent loops in the map and the art is pretty easy to understand.


Portability


   You should be able to drop this in to a hex or as an adventure seed in most fantasy campaigns pretty easily as long as you don't mind the tone.


Recommendation


 Not for me. I don't like the cutesy stuff and the rest of the adventure just needs too much work to polish it up to a decent level.


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