Friend of mine is starting a blogging challenge, going to be picking up from another a friend of mine's blog post.

The Houses Are Faces, Jean Veber, 1899 |
Essentially meant to use the above image to make a gameable piece: monster, npc, magic item, dungeon, village, etc.
The Gernstone Village [Dungeon]
No one is sure why it started, just what happened. A day like any other in the Gernstone village became overrun with suicides. Some made great shows of their deaths, while others quietly died in unseen locations. Only people foreign to the village were unaffected stupefied by the inhabitants actions.
Ages later when the lord's men road into town to determine why the village had gone quiet. They had found the remains of the old village being crushed and upheaved by giant deformed heads, in the middle of transforming into brick and wood houses. It took a while for any of the men to recognize one of the faces as belonging to one of the original villagers.
It now lays abandoned, the lord cut their losses and heightened the taxes in their other holdings to make up for it. However it being so bizarre has lead the occasional adventurer to delve into the village.
The dungeon is a tightly packed area of houses that the PCs can raid. Each House is a very small confined area. Themed towards the original resident it grew from. Living memories spew from each villager-house, looking to protect their homes.
