A Mage's Worst Nightmare

    

By Arcane Collector

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: Go figure out why there is an island in the sky raining bits down on the city.


What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 6 keyed locations.


 Usability/formatting


 If you want a puzzle location for your players to figure out then this is the adventure for you. That being said I would not say the different puzzle locations themselves are actually that interesting or inventive.


 There is little in the way of combat here and not much going when it comes to treasure either unless you count the possibility of broken bits of crystal.


 It is the writing that lets this one down the most I think, there is no way for the players to learn the lore and no suggestion as to how saving the mage works. As for an ending which will permanently sunset one of the PCs, that is not a great option either for an on going campaign.


 What I will say is that the maps are really nice and vibrant, if nothing else you might be able to find a use for them.


Portability


   You need a sufficiently magical setting to run this one in as we are implying magic floating cities.


Recommendation


 I would probably suggest a complete re-write on this one, the map is money though.


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