One Page Dungeon Contest 2020: The Hexwastes!

I've just submitted my entry to the 2020 One Page Dungeon contest.
My entry for 2020 is entitled The Hexwastes. I hope you'll take a look when it's released.


If you'd like to flex your creative muscles and submit something that will definitely get published to the wider world, and possibly win a prize [stop press: including actual cold hard cash it seems!]... then you've got until the deadline on 15th July 2020.

All details here:
https://www.dungeoncontest.com/

In any case head over there and connect on the official social media and you'll be notified when all the entries are released to the public, after the judges have made their decisions.
There are always quite a few really excellent entries, and lots more that are certainly intriguing. All genres are catered for, they are intended to be RPG system-agnostic and they are all released for free use under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 license*..

Compendiums of each previous year's entries going back to 2010 are available in both PDF form and in print-on-demand from DriveThruRpg


I made previous entries in 2015 "The Princess and the Frog" for which I was awarded (one of) the 3rd place prizes. Most probably because I used a map from the excellent Dyson Logos.


...and in 2016 "Trortipose the Tormented's Tremendous Travelling Tortoise" for which I remain (frankly unbelievably!) unrewarded.


(If anyone ever wants higher quality original files, please let me know on here.)

DiaD - Realistic, interesting Travel Rules for RPGs

  Following the Die in a Ditch (DiaD) design rules, this sub-system for overland travel enables interesting, story-driving choices around what gear and supplies are carried, and where, when and how to eat, and rest in camp. Basically, for each hour of travel each player rolls a dice pool based on how difficult that travel is based on a number of factors - for each die that rolls a 1 a hitpoint is lost. Hitpoints are gained through eating and also gained by sleeping at least 6 hours in camp. Prerequisites to this sub-system: 1) Low overall hitpoints , and an understanding that as well as tracking physical damage, hitpoints also track the energy, motivation and morale of characters. In my system each PC starts with 8 hitpoints of Flesh (that track physical damage) plus 8 hitpoints of Grit (that tracks energy, motivation and morale). c.f.  https://lastgaspgrimoire.com/2013/04/13/id-hit-that/   2) Low magic , rare magical healing. This sub-system is pointless if PCs have cheap access t

d20 reasons why adventurers won't get a long rest

d20 reasons why adventurers won't get a Long Rest Just because the adventuring party have managed to find an appropriate place and sufficient time doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get a full night's rest - if you've ever slept outside, or even just somewhere new, you will agree. Here are d20 reasons why they will not be getting their full allocation of HP restored this night:  Birds or bats call and swoop, putting you on edge.

The wind gusts into surrounding foliage and your bedclothes, nudging you awake. Irregular rain showers wake you up due to the noise and occasional drips. The ground underneath you becomes wetter and wetter until it is water-logged and starts to seep into your bedclothes. Someone in your party is snoring again . For some reason the usual breathi
