The Stone Bone Mound

  

By Dan Sumption/Peakrill Press

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: Go find the person that was stupid enough to walk into the mound covered in bones.



What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 10 keyed locations.


 Usability/formatting


  There are a few problems with this dungeon, firstly you can not really call something a labyrinth if there is only one linear path. Following the linear path is also the only way to complete the puzzle at the end of the dungeon correctly.


 Despite having a few nice elements here and there unfortunately this is a railroad with little player agency. Nothing really exists in the way of faction play either to spice things up.


 I suppose the treasure is fine, it is a little sci-fi in the item descriptions for my taste but the ability reconfigure reality on a very small scale when combining several items is at least an interesting concept.


Portability


   As long as there are barrows there should be a place for this in your setting, best think through the implications of the magic items before giving them to your players though.


Recommendation


 Ultimately hard to justify putting a railroad on the table and that is exactly what this is.


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