I was thinking the same thing re: Home Assistant, but you didn't strike me as that specific type of tinker.
Unrelated, it looked like you had a ground connected to your (cold water?) pipes? Hopefully that's actually for the pipes? I was trained to NEVER ground to water. Safety hazard.

Today was blessedly easy, especially compare to the last few. As with all of these, there's a lot of room for improvement - I can only do so much in an hour or two - but it's good enough I'd use it in my home game. Not good enough for print (yet).
And the challenge is over. I'm going to sleep!

The final prompt is Abyssal Architects. When I do this next year, I'm definitely doing it different.

I must admit, I'm exhausted and burned out. Really wanted to skip tonight, but it's the penultimate night of the challenge! I can't give up now.
Minimal effort in this one. I think it could be cool if each floor had a hazard analogous to real-world barriers to knowledge, but... I'm tired.

Tomorrow is the Library at the End of Space. I was thinking about Discworld when I wrote the prompt, but who knows what will inspire me tomorrow. Hopefully I have a bit more energy.

Today was difficult. Kept getting very different ideas; dungeon in a giant hollow tree? Point crawl? Dice-drop area generator?
Eventually I realized I was way too tired for most of those, and just threw something together. I'm not pleased with it, but I'm practicing being OK with that.

Another one that turned out pretty cool, and flowed fairly easily to boot! Aladdin was my favorite Disney movie as a kid, and I think it shows up in this little dungeon.
Tomorrow is Rumble in the Jungle! Maybe I'll listen to Jethro Tull at work tomorrow.

Can't believe it took me this long to write about giant spiders. Strongly inspidered by an article about a gigantic colony of spiders that was published recently; link below. Had a lot of fun in my short time with this one, definitely another to come back to.

Rough couple of days at work, so I missed yesterday and kept it short today. Here's something I whipped up for a hex-crawl through a chilly, chilly place.
Tomorrow begins the last weekend of the challenge with "Isolated Incubator." I've missed a few days, but I'm hoping I can finish strong!

Wasn't able to get to this yesterday, but here is today's adventure. Knocked this one out in about an hour; I'm getting some solid data regarding how much I can do in a limited amount of time. Looking forward to a longer project at the end of this!

I loved Original Sin 2, but after having a daughter I don't know if I can handle another one lol. I've gone soft (not necessarily a bad thing.)

Had some fun with surface-level worldbuilding in this one. Might steal some of my own ideas for home campaigns.
Side note, I make a lot of spelling mistakes when I'm tired. Really need to proof-read these.
Tomorrow is River City Ransom! No idea what I'm going to do for that yet, but we'll see.

Another one I admittedly didn't put much effort into. I broke my toe yesterday, and that's been a bit distracting lol.
Regardless, tomorrow's prompt is Cyclopean Crypts. I randomized these prompts, but this ended up being a nice run of things that come (fairly) naturally to me.

Now that I'm midway through the Advent(ure) Challenge, this would be a grand time to re-post my prompts calendar. It's not too late to join me!

The baby took a well-timed nap, so I was able to knock this one out at a decent time of day! Rather pleased with the theme and motifs of this one. It's going on the 'return to later' stack.
Tomorrow's prompt is Alien Asteroids! Maybe I'll do a point-crawl this time.

Tomorrow's prompt is Moonlit Monastery. Weekends are difficult, but I think I'll find time. Starting to hit a rhythm. Halfway done (not counting makeup days)!

Another one bites the dust. I like these prompts that I put on the list specifically because they'd be easy for me lol. Got this one out in a little under an hour, not that I'm trying to rush anything. Once again unproofed and under-edited, but I'm doing what I have time for lol.

I relied heavily on the tunnel generator from Lowlife by @samsorensen.bsky.social, which I picked up from LFOSR a while back. Made a few tweaks for expediency, and probably went a bit overboard considering I had *almost* two hours to work on it.
Tomorrow's prompt is "Rattle the Bones."

I was honestly tempted to skip today again - my daughter got a bunch of shots at the doctor's office - but I buckled down and got something done. I haven't proofread it, and arguably haven't even finished it... but it's something, and sometimes that's everything.

I was rather excited for today's prompt, but I'm much too exhausted today.
Tomorrow prompt is "Whispering Warrens." Sounds like an easy one, already have ideas buzzing around my head!

Sorry, full title of the game I had in mind was Skald: Against the Black Priory. Very fun, albeit short, cosmic horror-themed CRPG.
And Acceptance is the third book in the Southern Reach series. The lighthouse keeper's tale is *chef's kiss* cosmic horror.

Had a lot of fun with today's prompt! I was thinking about Against the Black Priory, as well as Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer. I write enough adventures about lighthouses, I should probably go out and visit them more often 😅
Tomorrow's prompt is Prometheus Compound! Might channel some Mothership.

Inspiration returned! Fairly pleased with today's challenge. I spent a lot of it thinking about For The King. Let myself stray from the initial 'plan' and write up something other than a dungeon or adventure. Enjoy!
