This is a collection of one-page adventures.

Originally
created for my Patreon supporters, they have been
revised and expanded for this print release. Due to the
one-page format, they are not as fleshed-out as typical
RPG adventures, but most experienced GMs should be
able to run them with minimal preparation.
Six of them are “six-mile adventure hexes”, designed to
be dropped into a hexcrawl when you need a region
packed with encounters and content. The other six
. adventures are dungeons which can be scattered around Writing and Maps: Ben Milton
most fantasy worlds, although (as with the hexes) you Cover: DC Stow
may need to tweak some of the flavor to better fit with
your campaign.
The stats and game mechanics, where present, are
intended for my Knave 2e RPG, but are easily
compatible with most traditional fantasy RPGs such as
Basic/Expert D&D, Old-School Essentials, and the like.
