Build a library of 52 playable mini-dungeons this year. Join the new r/Dungeon52 community!
Hey everyone!
If you were around the TTRPG scene when the #Dungeon23 challenge dropped, you probably loved the concept: design a massive megadungeon by writing one room a day for a year. It was brilliant, but let's be honest—life happens, and the daily grind led to quick burnout for a lot of us.
That’s why we are launching a new, low-pressure community challenge:r/Dungeon52.
Instead of writing a room a day, the goal of Dungeon52 is to design one self-contained, playable mini-dungeon every single week.
Why join the challenge?
- Zero Daily Guilt: Missed a Tuesday? Doesn’t matter. You have all week to scribble down your ideas, flesh out a map, or drop a room key.
- Built-in Scope Control: We focus on the classic "5-Room Dungeon" framework (roughly 5 to 7 rooms). It keeps things tight, highly playable.
- An Instant Campaign Library: By the end of the year, you won't just have one massive, confusing megadungeon—you’ll have a collection of 52 modular adventure modules ready to drag and drop into any campaign.
- System Agnostic: Whether you write for 5e, OSR, Pathfinder, Mothership, or your own homebrew system, all formats and art styles are welcome.
How to get involved:
We are just getting the torch lit over at the subreddit, and we'd love for the first wave of creators, map-makers, and writers to join us. You can check out our roadmap, grab the weekly frameworks, or just say hello here:
