Hey #TTRPG friends, how about we do something fun? Since we're all getting used to this new home, maybe we can generate some fun content together!

So, I invite everyone to make a little one-page micro dungeon/adventure and to post it with the tag #mastodungeon

(P.S. if you think this is a cool idea, please Boost this message so more folks see it)

@helicity This is a fantastic opportunity for me to use a bit from my upcoming procedural dungeon game coming out. I'll roll up a level and contribute it to this!

@helicity Are you thinking like the text a DM would read upon the players entering a dungeon, or something more?

I want to participate, but I don't want to misconstrue the intent!

@ForeverDM I mean, you can definitely make whatever you feel like! The point & joy here is sharing stuff with each other, but for an example of a one-page dungeon have a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrJL0EzQifc

@helicity Sweet. I'm going to check this out and work on it today!

@ForeverDM @helicity

This idea reminded me of the One Page Dungeon Contest. I'm guessing something like that is the intent.

@shane @helicity Thank you kindly! I'd never heard the concept term before. Sounds like fun!
@helicity
Sounds fun! I'll try to work something up in a bit.

@helicity At first glance I thought this was something entirely different. 😋

I'll have to write up a contribution.

@helicity waiting for someone to post an example
@rappscal I see at least one on the hashtag already!
@helicity The local druid sect has asked you to help in the reclamation of an uprooted Grove. What once housed an enormous and majestic tree is now home to an enormous hole that goes down as far as the eye can seen as players swirl down in a spiral, through interlinking chambers and fighting a series of sentient bug creatures thats tunnel network caused the collapse of the tree, which remains intact 100s of feet below. #mastodungeon
@helicity that does sound fun, alas I can't do layout. Maybe another time.
@Homebrewandhacking text and a crude map is also fine!

@helicity Hmm. Sounds fun.

Cheers. I'll have a go if I remember although I'd feel bad putting my crude looking Google doc next to beautifully laid out pdfs.

However before I go this is honestly a have changing essay that's made me a better DM. It's a fractal campaign tool that is also framed about Dungeons.

Dungeon Delver’s Guide: The NODES System — Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E)

You’ve baited your story hooks. You’ve got your dungeon map. Now what do you put in all those rooms?

Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E)
@helicity brilliant ideA 💡!!!!
@helicity Any themes? I can make a weird thing for my own games?

@helicity

OOoh boy. I can make a really weird arse Lacuna shit now!

Hmmm I'll design a Set-Piece then, basically a single "4 room dungeon".

@helicity @cardboard_kid
The local herding animals have been abducted, the farmers need your help retrieving them.

A troll has taken them and is keeping them captive until they successfully herd his mimics. The mimics are lolling about a wide open field as treasure chests, bureau, armoires, wheelbarrows. The herding animals will not work because the troll only rewards them with rotten fish (the mimics live the fish).

@helicity @cardboard_kid

The troll works for a beholder who’s is trying to staff up a dungeon. A we’ll-stocked dungeons lures in adventures, who die, thus bringing in a steady source of income. A successful dungeon will morphed the beholders status along his peers! Win-win!

The beholder has given the troll a wand of speak with animals, but he does not understand how to use it.

The mimics get herded and trained, but develop a more mischievous demeanor rather than being bloodthirsty.

@helicity I've never done this before, but seems fun, so...

Derice the wolfman set his tent up not half an hour ago, popped to the loo, and now it's...kinda stinky in there. Will you help him clean it?
You should know that he accidentally pitched it right above a sealed portal to another dimension, and now everything in there is made of flesh. Gross. So, when he says "clean it out", he really means "fight through the flesh zone, find the meaty nucleus, and destroy it". Sound fun?
