Astonishment
Holy snot, my first supporter! I'll gush briefly and then get straight to work on my next adventure, which will feature surprise as a theme. (I won't say how, 'cause, you know, surprise.)
Big Freaking Map
If I hit this level of support, then every single adventure will be sewn into an awesome, gonzo world map like this one, except as a wrinkle-free, high-res digital map suitable for use as a poster.
I'll update the map every time I publish an adventure!

Free for All
If I hit $15 per adventure, I'll release all of my adventures from then on under the CC-by-nc license - the one-pager, plus separate high-resolution. The campaign map, too! Chop it up, remix it, and share it with others!
Backsliding Yellerbellies
If I hit $100 per adventure, I'll violate everything I hold sacred and release a supplementary page for each adventure. That's right, I'll be making one-page adventures with two pages. You can't make this up.
Page one will still feature the adventure map and all the details you need to run it, while the second page will enrich the adventure with fuller descriptions of the location, monsters, treasure, information on the motives and tactics of the denizens, fragments of history, and different ways to hook the adventure into your ongoing campaign.

Hey, it's Michael Prescott and I'm making free adventure locations - interesting dungeons, ruins, settlements and lost places that you can grab for a pick-up game of your favorite adventure role-playing game.
Adventures will be released monthly, give or take. If the mood strikes me more than that, the extras are free!
I believe in the power of tasty ingredients that combine in unexpected ways. Rather than avalanche you with details, I'd rather distill each adventure down to its essence - a really cool location, an unexpected dynamic, or a brutal challenge, and let you fill in the gaps. There's nothing like the cold brutality of a single piece of paper to force us to get to the point. (Though I now use both sides!)
I can't decide on a favorite game myself, so you'll see relatively few stats in my adventures. They'll work best with low-prep games like older editions of D&D and its retro clones, Torchbearer, Burning Wheel, Dungeon World, FATE, or World of Dungeons (to name but a few).
Take the adventures and use them as is, or fill the margin with notes. Drop them into your campaign, or use them as one-shot adventures for a change of pace, or try out a new rule set.
You'll be killing characters in no time!
This whole thing was inspired by Alex Schroeder's annual One Page Dungeon Contest, now run by Dungeon Wizard. If you get the bug like I did, consider submitting an entry!
