Before the holidays, Countercheck and I decided to do a short series of one page dungeons. We just put the final touches to our first one, Stellarium of the Vinteralf.
Like most one-page dungeons, it’s system neutral, but I do most of my Torchbearer planning in a system neutral way anyways. Consider using Gnoll stats for Price Thavir and his merry Vinteralf, and Black Dragon stats for the Wyrm Jokun. To interpret timelines like ‘d4 hours’, you’ll need to pay attention to the fiction of your game (alternately, you could just pick something like 6 turns, or one camp phase).
I seem to have something to work out of my system.
The dragons are long gone now, but the heap of semi-fossilized dung they left still towers over the cavern floor. Just goes to show that the meanest of scavengers will fight over anything: [Midden of the Deep
Number four is ready! This time I figured I’d go for a charged situation rather than a labyrinth with clear opposition. Also, Stellarium has proved to be my favorite map, so I’ve returned to that style. An dying order of paladins is doing their best to hold fast against their sorcerous prisoner, the summoner Yorta: The Cage of Serimet!
Also, I’ve decided to start a Patreon campaign, details through the link.
Fifth one! This time around I’m trading some geography for a bit more information about NPCs and magic items. For ages, an order of nuns has protected the souls of the wicked from judgement. But now three ogres have come to the island, looking for something they believe they deserve, and they’re going to spoil everyone’s fun.
Another one. A pack of dirty, dirty cultists have finally succeeded in bringing their demigod to earth, hoping to usher in an age of wanton excess. Unfortunately, it hasn’t quite worked out the way they hoped, and now their problems are everyone’s problems.
Another one, the first two-pager of the lot (they’ll all be two pages from now on). This is probably the least Torchbearer-friendly of the lot, at least as far as levels 1-5 goes; it’s a bit more like a DW front, so more appropriate to Burning Wheel. (Just didn’t feel like starting a wholly separate thread.)
