Small Medium Large

One page dungeon contest 2022

No game or level

Premise: Weird stuff is happening in the valley, small things are made big, big things are made small.

What do we get here?

 A single page dungeon gives us 9 keyed locations.

 Usability/formatting

 As a piece of graphic design and art this is no doubt impressive, likely why it won the one page dungeon contest this year but how does it stack up for actual use at the table?

 Praise out of the way I am not sure how useful this one page is to a referee. The isometric art is lovely, showing how gonzo the whole set up is. 

 Unfortunately the dungeon is a bit linear, you will also have to build out bits of it yourself. There is no clue anywhere for how to solve the final problem of the dungeon, you either guess it or do not. 

 I also found some of the text on the diagonal to be hard to scan through, you need a tablet or something you can tilt to read the text easier.

Portability

 You could fit this in any isolated location and because you have to come up with the monster stats on your own anyway there is no impediment there either.

Recommendation

 At best this is a starting point for an adventure rather than being an adventure itself. I can see why this won for the art alone, I would just like a bit more on the dungeon side before I would recommend this as a must run. PWYW for the whole collection on gumroad or stump up cash on drivethru.

Chronicles of Artrusia: A1 The Goblins Lair

 

By Tony Garcia

Voxelhouse

OSR, levels 1-3

Premise: Goblins are raiding the local settlements, go sort it out.

What do we get here?

 Over 8 pages we get a 7 room dungeon and the adventure around it.

Usability/formatting

 Right up front the adventure tells us the DM is supposed to decide the treasure/magic items themselves. Come on now. We would not be using a pre-written adventure if we wanted to do this stuff ourselves now would we?

 English is not the first language of the author so I am not going to pick up on the writing too much. Most of it gets the point across well enough and gives you the information you need so you can embellish to run the adventure yourself. 

 That being said you are going to be struggling to find a reason to want to run the adventure. Everything is horribly linear, both the overland section and the dungeon itself. 

 All in all this incredibly bland with little effort put into the adventure. There are a couple of elements that could have been interesting, such as there being rival parties in the area, however this is not followed up on.

 Portability

 Sure you can plop this down anywhere if you should make the misfortune of deciding to run this adventure.

 Recommendation

 I applaud the effort of putting out content in your second language however the content here is a massive issue not any problems with translation. It is pay what you want but I would just leave this one.
