directsun puzzle dungeons

What is a puzzle dungeon? Drawing inspiration from the puzzle box dungeons of The Legend of Zelda series, directsun's puzzle dungeons are more than rooms filled with puzzles, the dungeons are the puzzles. The problems, puzzles, and combat within are designed to encourage player creativity and understanding of their environment. 

Each space teaches players about the unique mechanics of the dungeon or re-contextualizes previous information in new ways. Puzzle dungeons deliver challenges that feel natural to their world—mechanics that click into place the moment you discover how they work.

A Familiar Tower

When the wizard's away, the cat will play...

A decade after the wizard Esmis Mer disappeared, his manse still hums with secrets, treasure, and exotic magic. Step inside his impossible tower and twist its logic to your advantage. Those who master its secrets may escape with wonders. Those who don’t… tend to hang around.

Aberrant Reflections

At the bottom of an ancient temple, beyond the mirror's edge, lies the spot where reality was sundered...

Fortune and power await those who learn its secrets. A fate worse than death is reserved for those who fail. You've come to plunder the temple between worlds and gaze into its ABERRANT REFLECTIONS.

The Seers Sanctum

Challenge your players to look beyond their character sheets...

Rumor has it that before the The Seers disappeared, they learned the secret of interplanar travel. Discover their method and the reward will be more than worth the risk. An eye-opening adventure for characters levels 1-3, designed to be played with OSE or other OSR-style systems.
