Under Secret Sands: a desert point-crawl

I went to a zine party the other night and it was so much fun collaging and writing and not caring at all about perfection.

I made an adventure zine collaged from the random magazines we had lying around. (my handwriting is messy, so I've also transcribed the pages below)

UNDER SECRET SANDS - ILLUNIS PRESS - JOSEPHINE JAYE

The Bramble Wall. A wall of dead black thorns protects the Valley of the Old City. Offerings of blood may allow passage.

The Coyote Run. An area of the valley relatively safe with small game. Rabid wolfcreatures rules this section at night. But friendly ones aren't roo hard to find and bribe,

The Deep Bramble. Clearing and cutting the living mesquite brambles draws the ire of angry fairies. A hidden crawlspace under the trees teleports respectful travelers to the Under City.

Ox Blood Valley. The Ghosts of oxen and bison roam this valley, taking vengeance on all creatures who would hunt them. [image of an ox skull]

The Old City. Still half-buried, guardian statues come to life when trespassers take treasures for their own. The city's riches are surrounded by the bones of those who learned this.

The Under City. The old city denizens still dwell beneath the earth. A functioning society with alien values awaits. Will trade information for access to their teleporter to the homeworld.

I'm not sure how playable or fun it would actually be, but I'm learning to get more comfortable putting stuff out into the world that isn't "ready." I was planning on doing Dungeon23 in January, but my desire for perfection and planning kept interfering with actually getting words down on the page. I'm setting a goal to start my own Dungeon23 in February, and this time, it feels more doable.

I'd also love to know what others think of my zine. I'm particularly proud of the Ox Blood Valley. And I'm also really itching to make another adventure map in this collaged style.

Dungeon 23, Week 1

Necromancy with a Harvest God

This mini-dungeon is a former pilgrimage site and monastery to a harvest god named Soun. It is located within a small barrow, and has been overgrown and forgotten like it's god.

The last Cleric of Soun left this place as a young man to find others of his faith. In his absence, the god and his faith have died. Now, a necromancer attempts to revive the god and bind it to his service.

The walls and floors are old and worn, but amongst the stonework are small murals of agrarian scenes.

Entry Room. Two Death Dogs guard the room, each stationed in front of their room. Their primary job is to raise the alarm.

Guard Barracks / Cult hangout. 8 bedrolls line the floor, and a variety of camping supplies have been set up in a crude kitchen. Two Cultists are currently playing poker at a dingy, three legged table.

Flooded Chamber. The cultists have taken a priest (Donovan, level 3 Cleric) prisoner, and have left him tied in this flooded chamber. Donovan is a very old man, he returned here after a long pilgrimage to find others of his dying faith. He is comforted to know that he will die in the halls of his god, but somewhat nihilistic. If he learns what the Necromancer is doing to his god, he will fly into a rage and take the shortest path to area 6 (using the secret path from area 3 to area 5 if needed)

Library This room is the best kept of all in the temple. The walls are lined with mahogany bookshelves and filled with somewhat rotting religious texts and old almanacs. The floor depicts a rich field of wheat and grains surrounding a sythe (the symbol of Soun). Three cultists are currently picking through the books and drying them to see what is salvageable.

Grand Hall. This room looks like it may have once been a grand prayer room or reception hall, but it is currently coated in thick layers of dust and mud. Improvised barricades made from old furniture have been set up between pillars, making the entire room difficult terrain. The door to area 6 is locked and barricaded (DC 15 lockpicking and 10 HP of damage to clear)

Altar to Soun. Three corpses (cultists) lie on the floor. Their leader, a necromancer, is sitting despondently on the ground, staring transfixed at the statue Soun, which appears to be breathing.

The water in this chamber is about 3 feet deep. A crocodile lives here, and has made it's nest on the small island. This path leads outside the dungeon.

A dungeon for week 1! I think there are a lot of ideas to be developed, like puzzles, treasure, Soun's statblock, and the flooded area, but it was fun to make. :)

Playing in a DND campaign set entirely in a giant bog right now and it is amazingly fun. 10/10 recommend it. We've only had a few references to the mythical alligator-man riding on a boat of air, but I hope for a group encounter with Burt Reynolds at some point.

Also, because Oliver Darkshire is great, he also does these 1 page RPGs...
