2024-08-22 One Page Dungeon Reviews
===================================

The One Page Dungeon Contest submissions are being read and discussed
by the judges in private but if you have a submission you'd like to
get a paragraph of review and feedback on, let me know. I'm happy to
write a few words on this page.

Sundial Siphon: I love the myconid picture and map; I had to read the
part about the rotating map multiple times and I'm still not sure it
really contributes to the game. Sometimes doors cannot be opened,
sometimes some rooms cannot be reached, but I'd have to see it at the
table. I liked the colour coding of monsters and connections. It says
twice "Takes some time to clear" but it's unclear what the drawback is
since there are no random encounters? Is it a quarter rotation?
Reading the Siphon makes me think that after 4 phases all player
characters are trapped in constructs? That seems rather harsh. The
dungeon says that that players are racing against the clock but I
think players wouldn't know that, so some sort of warning might be
apt? There's a warning in room 4 but I feel a better warning is
required, or the siphon should only affect room 5? In any case, the
dungeon seems promising! 😄

Epona's Temple: I love the idea of achieving a permanent blessing of
Epona. The map is beautiful. I feel that the map doesn't make clear
which of the obstacles are easy to sidestep. Can people go from 3 to 5
without crossing 4 or 8? In 4 there's a presence of insects but it
wasn't clear to mean what that entails since there are no insect
stats. From a logic perspective the abandoned camp is puzzling. In any
case, the rewards at the end are my favourite thing. They match the
premise at the entrance and the theme of the temple itself. Love that.
E gostei muito de ver um versão que não seja Inglesa. Muito bem feito!
 😄
