Hell's Own Temple is a short adventure I penned a couple months back for Prince of Nothing's No Artpunk Contest. Sadly (for my ego), my entry was not among the contest winners (the top eight submissions were pretty darn spectacular), but Prince still had some kind words for my attempt at a high level, one-off adventure.
Since it didn't make the cut for the compilation volume (Prince does plan on including it in a supplemental book along with all the runners-up), I've decided to make the adventure available to my blog readers. It's short (only about 10 pages) and not tarted up for publication, but it should be complete enough to run; you can download the files here:
There is no overland map of the island, although my original model for the thing was Easter Island, whose map can be easily found on the internet. My original concept was actually an island assault, but I scaled the whole thing waaaay back in order to meet the contest parameters (this also helped with the time crunch I was under). More background info can be found in this old blog post, for the interested.
An AD&D adventure suitable for six to eight PCs of 10th-14th level. Happy Halloween!

There's something visceral about a cathedral of evil at the edge of the world, a flaming lake of blood as a gate to hell, and the aftermath of a pyrrhic victory that each separately speak to me on a subconscious level. Thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Not enough of that sort of thing these days, IMO.
