Judgment in the Lower Courts
A downloadable game
A two-page, Kafkaesque dungeon for dungeon-crawling TTRPGs inspired by Franz Kafka's The Trial.
The PCs have been charged with a crime. Which crime? They'll never know. It is not important that the facts come to light or that justice is done. The important thing is that the process is carried out. One must uphold the law.

A solid little dungeon effectivly taking the feel of the novel and tranforming it into sweet little romp. It might be a bit to defined for my taste in certain places (for a more open and conceptual adaption, you might check out my own take on The Castle), but those are necessary transformations for the purpose of playability and still keep the kafkaesque spirit very much alive.
This tiny pamphlet opens with a fun premise and unique hook. What follows is a short, solid, easy to read dungeon with plenty of evocative detail. If we roleplayers ever decide on a shared definition of the term 'dungeon', I hope great modules like this one will be cited as textbook examples!
