Well, it's surely obvious looking at the post history, but I have not been able to dedicate time to these adventures for the past several months. So I'm officially transitioning this Patreon to an Archive format / long-term Hiatus.
Current paid members:
Need a One-Shot to run this weekend? Or a sidequest for your main campaign? Here's a new one!
Drop this one into just about any city. The priest of a local temple recently passed, and one of the nuns found his dark secret! Explore this mini-dungeon with traps and a cursed magic item at the end.
Happy Adventuring!

Happy New Year! I wanted to pack a bunch into this one, so the Adept tier and up get 4 battlemaps for the encounters in the forest. Well, 5 if you count the night time variant for the campsite. Plus the overland map, so... 6 maps?
In any case, I've cooked up a One-Shot that is designed to take place over a few days of travel, but run quickly as if the whole thing happens in an adventuring day. If anyone plays with the optional resting rule, I'd love to hear about it, and how the p...

New adventure here, with an opportunity for a good deal to go bad. In "Meeting at the Colossus," the party needs a magical item or artifact, and unfortunately needs to make a deal with some unsavory characters.
Normally, I would include a specific item, but there is such an abundance of cool 5e magic items online that I instead filled out the page with some alternate hooks. Use the encounters as a framework, and enjoy building the story with your table!

I decided to go ahead and do another adventure in the same setting as the last. In this case a separate group of adventurers are on a mission to wipe out a garrison of zombies in an effort to help overthrow the zombie king of Stonewoe.
I gave my own ideas on how to destroy the dam, but I bet a seasoned group of players can think of some more creative ways to flood the barracks! The map for this one is b...

Howdy! I'll keep this one short. This adventure was originally going to be called "Defy the Zombie King," but I might save that title and do something related. For now, this standalone one-shot puts the party in a city with a post-apocalyptic feel, where zombies are in control. Can they light the fires of resistance? Oh, and the map is pretty big too. I tried to combine the above-ground and sewer sections into one. I hope it works out okay. Enjoy!

What's that? You need another quick and easy One-Shot to run? Well of course I have you covered! This Level 1 starter adventure is a Dungeon Crawl that would be great for a mix of new and experienced players alike.
PR-39 "Tudalas Temple" is about a place that was once dedicated to learning, and as such its marble walls are inscribed with bits of helpful information. Of course, it doesn't outright say "Don't split the party" or "inspect for traps," but a keen player will probably p...

Hi Patrons! A quick update for you:
Thank you to everyone that voted a couple weeks ago for the charities! The proportions worked out pretty cleanly with ASFP getting $150 and the other three getting $50 each.
Just wanted to share the result, and say I appreciate your continued support! I'm so glad I'm able to give back thanks to so many generous patrons.
And speaking of pat...

A play on some classic tropes, can your party escape the City of the Swainwright? This level 4 one-shot takes the idea of a city of dreams and gives some structure to try something of your own. Note that it is definitely a bit more of a railroad than even your average one-shot, so consider player expectations going in.
There are some odd references here and there that aren't very important, but leave me a comment if you figure any of them out :) I hope you have fun with this one!<...

Hi Patrons! I've got an adventure that was supposed to go up yesterday, but I had issues in the editing. I'll get that posted ASAP. In the meantime, I haven't done a big charity donation in a while, so I thought I'd do one now using July's pledges. This time, I want to do it with YOUR input!
I've picked 4 Charities below that I think are all worthy of some support. Pick the one you believe would be the best use of a donation, and at the end, I'll divide the total proportionally (so if t...

Hello friends, supporters, and secret enemies! (hopefully mostly the first two?)
New content here for you, this time a Level 8 adventure. It can of course be run on its own, or you can tie it into PR-6 Cloudtop Landing (L8). Not only that, but it can connect up to the Dino Jungle adventures as well!
PR-37 "Helping Out in Cloudtop" is a city exploration adventure with some suggested interactions, but als...

Got a relatively big one for you! A huge map to accommodate the huge Dinos, this adventure connects to the previously released "dino jungle" adventures! Optionally, of course - this can be a one-shot too!
Designed for a Level 10 party, this is a relatively straightforward dungeon crawl. Perhaps the group can finish off the threat to the Mining Guild, and come away with a nice retirement fund.
For Adept tier and up, VTT maps are included: With and without grid, as well as with and ...

From its earliest inception, I don't know if any of adventure of mine has undergone as many changes as this one. Originally a single Skill Challenge encounter in a One-Shot I ran, this heist grew out of the page. It took me quite a while to get it edited down to a single, and I had to use some formatting tricks with tables to make it happen!
All that aside, this adventure has been a long time coming, so I very much hope you enjoy PR-35 "Heist in Zabala Muga" - a One Pag...

Well... I'm back!
This new Mini-Dungeon is for a Level 2 party. It's my own take on a classic "Oh, there's a scary dungeon at the bottom of the Well!"
Should be a good drop-in for a newer party, though you may need to be careful about the final boss depending on the group's balance and equipment. Or just remind them that running away is an option!
Enjoy PR-34 Well of Shadows Past!

Hello everyone - I've got multiple things that are just about ready for release!
First is a new 5e One-Shot. After the OGL fiasco, I debated whether I would/should continue to make 5e content. Patrons will get a survey this month asking for input on the matter, but for now, no changes: I'm still writing One-Page One Shots for 5e, and you can still get my backlog from one of the 2023-03-15 13:41:21 +0000 UTC

I'm shuffling things around just a little to close out October. This adventure is also being distributed as a reward for donations to WAVAW during their streaming event, but I found out that it won't be sent to donors until November.
I decided it would be best to go ahead and release it to patrons JUST in case you really want to read it today for Halloween!

Here's a new One-Page One-Shot for you! Also works very well as a sidequest.
A local druid has gone to the extreme, and the townsfolk want something done about it. Will you require the party bring him in alive? Think they'll expect the beautiful garden beyond the damp and muddy cave? And speaking of the grotto, how mad will the toads be when they steal a mushroom?

Here's a level 8 One-Shot for you! PR-32 "The Caravan from Inksyt" is an escort mission that could also easily be a sidequest for a larger campaign. When the dust settles, is the party content, or are they interested in further investigating why this particular trade route is getting so much attention from criminals and thieves?
Ramp up the intrigue and treat this one like a murder mystery, or keep it straightforward. Oh, and don't forget to brush up on your 2022-09-03 12:32:34 +0000 UTC

The collection is COMPLETE!
With this release, a long-planned arc of content is finally done. It started as a joke in my mind way back as I hastily wrote FR-04 in the run up to launching the Patreon, and became what I think is actually a solid mini-campaign (even if the premise is a bit cheeky).

About the adventure: This One-Shot is another Level 1, and is again designed to be a small, introductory Dungeon Crawl that I think will work well for newer players. It has a couple routing options, some traps, and a variety of combat encounters. Not only that, I used the Schol...

Sometimes, newer players are disappointed they don't find a dragon to fight. Let's fix that! This Level 3 Dungeon Crawl starts off with a Blue Dragon Wyrmling in a very special lair. But when the fighting is done, can the players get out?
"Lair of the Bolt" includes:
- A special Lair Action for the opening fight
- A "reverse" dungeon flow where the players beat the boss first, but then must find the keys to leave
- A custom magic item fo...

Hey friends!
FIRST, I'd like to say THANK YOU. Yesterday marked 2 years of being the One Page Mage, and I couldn't do it without you. Whether just joined or a Founder, you all keep me going.
Secondly, I just wanted to let you know new releases are really close, including some content that I couldn't quite get done in time for June. Computer issues and my day job slowed things down, but I figured I should take a moment to tell you that it's coming! I appreciate your patience.

Hi everyone! Today I'm releasing a GM Supplement free for everyone! It's a compilation of a few rules I've seen overlooked or misinterpreted by other 5e players and GMs.

I hope everyone is having a good June so far! Here's a new Level 3 adventure that focuses on opportunities for RP encounters. It is also written as a direct sequel to FR-03 "Secrets of the Torgul Box" (though they can, of course, be run independently).
Will the party think it's a fair price to share half the loot with a lowly bandit? How will they feel when the job is done? I hope your table ...

As promised, here is one more piece of content surrounding the City of Ecleton, and I expect it will be useful! The Factions and NPCs could be easily dropped into another city in your world, or, if you're running through the related OPM adventures, this supplement provides plenty of opportunities for RP while investigating the plot hook!
Another benefit here is that, by providing information on the other factions and council members, you could easily spin off additional quests to gain v...
