The Toymaker's Problem

  

By Wmath

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: The famous toymaker, Edward Winston, has requested you to assist him in clearing out some “old toys” from his storage, offering pay to do.



What do we get here?


 A single page gives 7 keyed locations in a dungeon.


 Usability/formatting


 There is the potential for a super creepy adventure here, unfortunately the writing is just not up to capitalising on the premise. 


 The different rooms are little more than fights, nothing much in the way of interactivity or faction play. Getting to the final room is railroad locked behind key collection which is not great either. Room descriptions are workable they just lack any flavour to them.


 No where do you find any rewards, this is a pretty poor execution of a good idea imo.


Portability


   As long as you have magic and toys I think you'll be fine fitting this one into your world. If you want to make it sci-fi I suspect that would be pretty easy too.


Recommendation


 As a point of inspiration this adventure as some value, I would never run as is though, it needs just too much work.


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