Entries are listed in the order they were
ranked by the panel of judges, beginning with
the highest ranked One Page Dungeon entry.

Ed Nicholson “Plumbing the Depths”


A mage shrinks you and sends you down into the plumbing of his
laboratory sink to retrieve a precious ring lost there.

JD Thornton
“The Buried Pyramid of the Undergod”
An opening has been discovered into the long lost temple of a de-
praved and violent religion, and the local historian is offering double
market value for any artifacts retrieved. The PCs are not, however, the
first looters to delve into the buried pyramid! Will they be the first to
make it back out?

Skerples “The Roving Wheel”


There’s a 500’ tall iron wheel roaming the earth. Legend says there’s a
way inside the vertical spinning dungeon. Can it be stopped in time?

Karl Stjernberg “Salt and Stink”


You find yourselves shipwrecked and washed up on a trash-filled
shore on a mysterious... island? Prepare to face pirates, parasites and
the paranormal in and around this naval (and stinking) location!

Clarabelle Chong “A Pinch of Salt”


Salt–essential for life. And, in this case, death. When alchemists dis-
cover that salt can make a necromancer’s spell more potent, practicing
necromancy becomes highly fashionable and profitable. But when a
long forgotten evil is unleashed in the name of profit, it’s time to find
out who or what is behind this dark business!
Euan R and Garry C
“Zorpy’s Tall Tale (for kids!)”
Kind old Zorpy will share his meal with you. But this dinner conversa-
tion has some bite of its own.

William Ross “The Forgotten Temple”


In the village of Malchance, an earthquake made the well go dry, vil-
lagers and workers in the area’s logging camps have been disappear-
ing, and trade caravans in the area are being attacked by a group of
human bandits and giant spiders.

Anton L.C. “Tomb of the Broken King”


The Broken King is dead and gone, but somehow still rules his realm.
Venture into his tomb to defeat him, or to acquire the infamous Sword
of Sins.

David Northcutt
“The Broken Sepulcher”
An ancient order has unearthed the key to reviving their cruel leader.
Delve into the forgotten past to recover the artifact and stop them.

Max White “Feudal Attraction”


Two star-crossed lovers from feuding noble families have decided to
get married. It won’t go smoothly.

Olobosk “The Forgotten Abbey”


A procedurally generated dungeon crawl through a maze of
ruinous architecture, haunted by the trapped souls of an ancient
religious order.

Dylan Barker
“An Awakening at the Old Well”
In a small clearing is a crumbling old well, flanked by three standing
stones. Suddenly, a voice is heard from within, “Help me, I’m stuck”.
Steve Thompson
“Cross My Heart, Hope to Die”
Gnolls are attacking Fort Resolve at night! Everyone has been called to
defend the walls. Now, key staff are missing. Is it Gnolls, or something
else? What secrets hide behind these walls? It’s your job to find out...

Eshan Mitra
“The Mad Artificer’s Invention”
A curious pair of inventions can convert one magic object into another.
Can the heroes learn to use them and recover the missing artifact?

Vance Atkins “Now and When?”


The mage Onzethar Odore built a teleport device in his tower, but did it
malfunction? Dammit. When are we? Time travel verb tenses are hard.

David And Lauren Schirduan


“Broken Factory”
A broken factory train-car. If the PCs can repair the factory, they gain a
useful robot ally! Too bad there’s no instruction manual...

Luke Le Moignan “Shub-Rhadaman”


The Train to the Land of the Dead only goes one way. You’d better stop
the engine before it takes you there forever.

Benjamin Rowe
“What Lies Beneath the Well”
The fountain that supplies the water to this small town mysteriously
stopped working about a month ago... The players are hired by the
mayor to get to the bottom of what’s happening down there and report
back.

Roger SG Sorolla
“Yesterday’s Dungeon...Tomorrow”
Novices find a bound demon in the cellar of Castle Hierdemain. Later,
as heroes, they return to find the place altered by their early deeds.
Wordman
“The Golden Canals of Irid’s Vault”
One of the most secure storage vault complexes in the multiverse.

Violet J. Smith and Jeremy Smith


“The Hidden City”
An evil sorcerer has taken over the city in the mountain.

Chance Dudinack
“The Staff of Shifting Sands”
To end the curse of an ancient Pharaoh and escape the desert, the
party must enter his tomb and retrieve the Staff of Shifting Sands.

Chris Paul “Senseless Pursuits”


Strange occurrences in the town of Vista Point have culminated in the
disappearance of the butcher’s boy. The blind are suspected.

Carl Niblaeus “The Death Ziggurat”


A death demigoddess has escaped her ziggurat prison deep in
the jungle. If she is not stopped, her undead horde will soon ravage
the land.

Alex and Chris Stoesz


“There Ain’t Nobody Here But us Chickens!”
Chicken-like creatures seen near town of Huevo and an abandoned
church. The church is a giant, chicken-shaped building.
You can’t miss it.

Ken Moore
