The Build-Your-Own Dungeon of the (synonym to wonder) Lands!

  

By William Steve

One page dungeon contest 2022

No system or level given.


Premise: You wake up in a strange place and feel compelled to investigate the near by castle.


What do we get here?


 A single page gives us 8 keyed locations.


 Usability/formatting


 This adventure comes with a bunch of blanks in the descriptions that you are supposed to prompt your players to fill in. I suppose that works in an educational environment where you are trying to get kids to be more creative, at the table for people expecting an RPG adventure I think it may well get pretty annoying.


  With all the missing information it is very hard to review this one. It does have a decent loop however the whole thing is a railroad as you are just supposed to be "compelled" to explore constantly. 


 There are some systems that are more about mutual world building that this might work in I think it will turn off a lot of players of other systems though.


Portability


   Going to need specific systems to run in and likely as a one shot given the rail road start.


Recommendation


 I would rather have an actual adventure please. The map is decent so you might be able to steal that at least.


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