One thing that occurred to me is that I do not have any "breaks" where characters can spend their acquired loot and level up or the like.  As the scenarios are keyed off of playing cards, I could add in some cards that signify shopping and healing "events".  Do you have any suggestions or comments on this?

[khaboom]

Maybe a roll of a d6 to see if a break between cards offers a spending opportunity? Maybe you need a 5 or a 6 and you can up your roll by the level of a LK SR you make, if successful.

Or there could just be a break after every 6 encounters or similar?

[falconious]

How about we go with a straight 1-in-3 chance of a spending and healing break?

[tp]

sounds good to me

It also occurs to me that I haven't given much thought to AP. It may make sense to award a flat amount per adventure, redeemable during a break. DED's reward of 500 AP is probably too high. 50 or 75 AP may be a better suited amount. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

If there is any interest, I could post the writeup for each microdungeon as it is completed.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be pleased to see that.

3C Steel Wall

The party arrives at the base of a steel wall with a door in it, and a Challenging creature barreling down on them. There is time for 2 L2-SRs on DEX to pick the lock and take shelter before the creature arrives, whereupon it will attack. Get shelter or fight. Creature has 10 armor.

2D Rimewind Taskmage

The character arrives and sees a mage is caught under a block of ice. Make an L1-SR on STR to lift the block--one chance only. If you succeed, he gives you a Rooting Sphere of Frost, which will hold an enemy fast for [redacted since the item is in play].

4D Towering Indrik

The character arrives in rolling heals. A huge lizard is there, its neck reaching up past the clouds. You may climb the lizard's neck (L2-SR on STR). If you suceed, you can get cloud fluff, worth [redacted] to a tailor. If you fumble, you fall and break your neck.

3H Lys Alana Huntmaster

The character arrives in a forest in front of a fox. The fox will cure all the character's wounds if he will fight off the hounds (Challenging) hunting him. The horn and baying of dogs are easy to hear.

6S Kjeldoran Javelineer

The character arrives in a barren snow-covered plane. There is a big red "X" near the character, and a pile of rocks in the distance. Investigating the X triggers and alarm, leading to a javelin attack from behind the rock. It takes one round to reach the Challenging javelineer.

An L2-SR on LK spots the moderate fishman coming with it; otherwise the fishman gets a surprise round. After defeating both, and L2-SR on LK will find a pearl in the fishman's satchel.

AD Whiteout

The party arrives in the middle of a blizzard on a tall mountain. There are two caves in which to seek shelter. The second cabe has a growth of white fungi that will heal a total of 2d6 DARO CN.
