One page dungeon contest 2022
No system or level given.
Premise: A lethal labyrinth of impenetrable hedges filled with deadly plants, animals, and monsters.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us a set of tiles for randomly generating a maze as well as the encounters within it.
Usability/formatting
Both the good and bad of this adventure is it's randomness. The encounter and object tables have 20 and 24 entries each so there is a lot of content here the question is are the dice going to give you something fun or will it become a monotinous slog until you reach a stopping point?
With all this random creation comes the fact that unless you generate the whole thing before hand no NPC you interact with can tell you anything interesting about the maze because nothing exists for them to tell you about yet!
As far as layout goes everything is easy to understand and find on the page. Simple is best here.
Portability
There is nothing really in the way of lore here so you can drop this in any place you need a maze.
Recommendation
To be honest I think you are best of using this ahead of time and generating a maze you can then tweak to make sure it is fun for the players. You'll have to do some homework rather than use this on the fly otherwise you are completely giving over power to the gods of RNG. I probably would not run this however it is a useful tool for creating mazes.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
