This is a set of ten mini-dungeons designed to be used to spice up an existing campaign, or to be run alone as short open dungeons.  Most can be run in one to four hours, so they can fill a void in a normal overland campaign without converting it into a long dungeon adventure.  When used like this, the Judge can either relocate them on a map, or they can appear as encounters in the wilderness.  They are also suitable for solitaire play.
