It's a half dozen dungeon rooms filled with kobolds, their traps, etc. It would be designed so that I can decide whether it's a portion of a larger dungeon or a stand-alone dungeon on the surface.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic shop. It's got vaults in the basement where the "good stuff" is kept, with lots of traps and magical guardians. It would come with 3-4 short hooks that might explain why the PCs are raiding a magic shop.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Border fort. It's full of "enemy" soldiers. Each encounter has three possible enemy groups: humans, hobgoblins, or orcs. The rooms themselves might vary slightly based on inhabitants (maybe the orcish barracks are messy, the hobgoblin barracks are neat but smelly, and the human barracks are well-kept).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hag's lair. The hag is willing to talk -- eager to talk -- so this would be more of an interaction or infiltration location.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dragon's lair, in several flavors.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Prison. Might have several variants, like the border fort (above). Would have instructions for running the location as a place the PCs are trying to infiltrate, OR as a place the PCs are trying to escape.</li> </ul>I don't have a lot of time to spend on game prep. I tend to prep only the very big things, like the main campaign conflict and enemies and setting. Then I improve little things -- encounters, NPCs, treasures. I want a steady supply of these sorts of "medium-sized" things that are difficult to improv, but which I don't have time to prep.I could also make good use of interesting encounters. I don't need stuff like "An orc shaman and 6 orc warriors," that's boring. Something like, "A wounded orc beseeches the PCs to save his tribe's shaman from a band of troglodytes holed up in an abandoned mine" (with map) is way more useful.I love that contest! I've used its entries in the past for this very purpose. However, many of the entries don't work very well as drop-ins (they're not ready to play, or they have a weird backstory, or, ironically, they have too much content), so it's a process of periodically sifting through. Still, a lot of super creative stuff there, and I love the one-page constraint.I'm really looking forward to this thing: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adventureaweek/mini-dungeon-tome-for-5th-edition-or-pathfinder-rp" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adventureaweek/mini-dungeon-tome-for-5th-edition-or-pathfinder-rp</a>I have high hopes that it will be the kind of resource I am looking for!</blockquote>
