Grim Hollow

 This is a 59 room, BFRPG dungeon for level 1 characters to pillage. There should be ample treasure for a party of 5 to hit level 2 (assuming the gold for XP optional rule in BFRPG).

Here's the map:

Sphere of Avantarr

 I wrote this rolling dungeon for the 2024 One Page Dungeon Contest. It got an honourable mention which made me very happy.

Kubuk Mill

 I went to visit the National Slate Museum in Llanberis recently and saw their massive, working water wheel. This is a little dungeon all about making a water wheel turn again.

Here are the maps:

Gadwick's Tribute

 This is a two page dungeon that I wrote for the Delightful Dungeon Contest. I quite like the way it turned out, but it might be a little heavy on the petrification.

Here's the review it got.

Mourndeep Caverns

This was a bit of an experiment in dungeon map generation.

To make the dungeon I generated three stacked dungeon layers. Each layer used a dice drop to generate randomly placed rooms which I linked up with corridors to form a minimum spanning tree. 

Next I added the shortest corridor I could to form a loop on each layer. Then I linked the layers up at points where their rooms were closest, with stairs.

I found the result to be pleasingly twisty with lots of corridors running underneath higher layers. Should be fun to map.

For stocking, I used the D30 DM Companion for the monsters and BFRPG for treasure.
Finally, I checked my encounter difficulties with Frank Mentzer's algorithm from Dungeon magazine ("Plan it by the numbers" page 16).

Here's the map:

Sausages of the Devil Swine

This is a silly, 16 room, pig themed dungeon, set below a town. It's stocked for 4, level 5 BFRPG characters and contains a couple of new monsters.

Here's the map:


And here's the mini-module: Sausages of the Devil Swine


Update: I entered a condensed, B/X version of this module in the Adventure Site Contest II.
Here it is: Sausages of the Devil Swine (B/X)

Here are the reviews:
Update: Wow! The B/X version was judged worthy enough to be included in the top 8 entries, and as such is available in the content compilation on DriveThru RPG here.

Maze of the Bloody Wizard

This was my entry in the No Artpunk III contest. It's an attempt to write a dungeon for high level play and you can find the review of the dungeon here. I was pretty happy with how this one turned out.

The dungeon contains 39 rooms and is stocked for 5 level 9 BFRPG characters (but it should convert to B/X or similar games with no problems).

Here's the map (it's a big one by my standards):
