One page dungeon contest 2022
No system or level given.
Premise: Be the first to successfully ascend the mountain, a feat many consider impossible.
What do we get here?
A single page gives us 8 keyed locations.
Usability/formatting
Essentially this is Mount Everest the adventure.
The writing and art do a fairly decent job of capturing the feel of a mountain expedition. How well this stands up as an RPG adventure is hard to say. It will very much depend on the system you are running and the world you are playing in.
There is nothing really in the way of loops or alternate paths however the challenges presented are pretty open ended for the players to solve as they wish. I like the way the adventure strays from the mundane at times, hinting at something deeper or magical going on with the mountain.
You would probably need to flesh this out some to make it work for yourself, especially lacking is hooks and rewards.
Portability
You could probably run this in a number of different settings however if you run for high level characters with a lot of magic available to them I imagine this would be a trivial exercise.
Recommendation
Maybe for the right system or as the lead up to a dungeon in a more tradition d&d style game. Does require adding details yourself as there are no travel times or decent weather tables for example.
PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.
