The
One-Page Dungeon idea captured my heart back in 2008-2009 and its influence can be seen in Michael Curtis' (
The Society of Torch, Pole, and Rope)
Stonehell dungeon (which is actually a composite of two-page dungeons). The One-Page Dungeon approach is a great way to design a dungeon and I have used it quite a bit myself. The
One-Page Dungeon template (by Michael at
ChicagoWiz's RPG Blog) is a great way to get a playable dungeon area created, as it enforces the discipline of not creating too much extraneous material that either becomes a time suck (if you are a perfectionist) or simply won't be used in play.
