Actual play report for Parallel Dungeons by Starmonkey

Starmonkey ran my adventure PARALLEL DUNGEONS in Into the Odd (great fit!) and posted a session report. It's great to see other people using (and enjoying!) my work.

Parallel Dungeons, if you haven't seen it, is a free adventure that has three dungeons on a shared map; they exist in parallel realities and the player characters can jump between them using an arcane device. It's fun.

Parallel Dungeons got a review + a cool new series of dungeon deep cuts

Parallel Dungeons, my dimension shifting adventure, got a small write-up by Rowan over at the Dododecahedron blog! He just started up a pretty cool little series called Dungeon Deep Cuts, where he reviews under-the-radar adventures. Sounds like a good way to learn about small, but interesting projects. He is also taking submissions, so, upcoming authors, take note!

PARALLEL DUNGEONS - a dimension-shifting OSR adventure

I wrote a new adventure! It is a gimmicky one, but also playable & fun. Imagine that there are three dungeons that occupy the same physical space, and the player characters can shift between these three parallel dimensions by using a device. The three dungeons are quite different:

1. Cave of the Demon Corsairs = hide-out of brutal pirates in pact with dark forces
2. Mining Tunnels of Q-3296 = abandoned asteroid mining operation
3. Tranquility & Transcendence = monastery of meditating monks

The area descriptions are presented in three parallel columns, so whenever the party shifts to a different dimension, you can just look to the next column and find the area's description in the parallel dungeon.

I ran a playtest in Esoteric Enterprises, the players were the commando unit of an occult secret agency. They were taken to an island to explore the weird caves. The pirate and asteroid parts proved quite deadly... but the dimension shifting device saved the party's asses a couple of times, and they also used it to circumvent hazards.
