GURPS One-Page Adventures

About three years ago, I asked about folks doing something like the One-Page Dungeon Contest for GURPS adventures. I got no takers. Regardless, I'll ask again: would folks be interested in doing something like this for GURPS? They could be for any of the sub-lines—Dungeon Fantasy, Action, Monster Hunters, After the End—or for none of them. This is GURPS, after all. As proof-of-concept examples, I offer up:

The Demons Beneath the Town
The Haunted Village Crypt
Lair of the Frogmen

I had to cheat on the one-page thing a bit, putting stat blocks over on the GURPS Repository. But you get the idea.

  1. I love this idea, though not sure if I have time to actually DO it. I think the idea of putting the stat blocks somewhere else is completely ok, since everyone has access to them and most all of the other OPDs leave stat blocks out altogether.

    1. Yeah. That was part of my reason. They have the luxury of doing this, since there are sufficient monsters in the various D&D bestiaries. Plus doing this helps build up the number of monsters anyways.

  2. Something I'm slightly interested in, along with the concept of the "five room" dungeon. Having a bunch of short remixable dungeons might be interesting.

    1. The five-room dungeon could work. It isn't a bad structure, and it can keep things short and sweet.

  3. I also like this idea but have no time to do it. I am using role-playing games (GURPS specifically) to teach English in the Philippines. I needed some quick adventures and downloaded some one-page dungeons. I need more modern adventures to give the students more relevant vocabulary, though.
