Ashen Tumble and The Pit House (1 Page Suburb and Dungeon)

What follows is a PDF one page suburb and dungeon from my city setting, Infinigrad. The suburb is built around the dungeon, which is a one page dungeon I put together a year ago or so but never shared on this blog. I plan on putting a couple more of these together in the nearish future, all leading towards a dungeon that is deeper below this part of the city. Download the PDF below, Enjoy!

"Ashen Tumble: A once grand haunt of many an alchemical guild. Turned to semi-ruin due to over experimentation and evacuation of salubrious guilds. Dust cakes the cratered road, detritus piles up against the walls and breeds in alleyways, papers scrawled with unintelligible script waft through the air."

For those interested, I used the following tools to put Ashen Tumble together:

    Love the use of color in this piece. A great way to distinguish between spaces on the suburb map and create links on that one page dungeon. It seems like it'd work well in any cosmopolitan fantasy setting (if you're going at least a little gonzo).

    My only real notes for improvement are on the design/layout front. When you are using individual letters like you use m, t, and h, I might bold those or otherwise change their presentation so they are easier to read. Secondly I would make sure that all the parts of a pdf are oriented the same way, personally. That's kind of rough since the two pages are individually optimal, but it doesn't quite work to scroll through.

    I especially like the details about the suburb, which are individually such great food for other setting elements.

      Thanks Hawk! I swear the gonzo isn't intentional, it's just what comes out of me haha.

      I really tried to get the one page landscape and one page portrait but I just couldn't get it to work. I think the work best printed any ways, but you can spin the page in Adobe which fixes the issue. I agree it's not ideal. And yeah, the m, t, and h's need to be clearer for sure!

    Very cool - the Ashen Tumble is perfect for a neighborhood in the city I am running - I need to re-disperse the buildings in between the features already known to the PCs which is easy.

    Agree with Hawk on color use, works well for the 'one pager, everything visible' you need to avoid flipping around. I should do more of this myself...

      Let me know if you end up running any of the buildings!
