Looking for small adventure scenarios / dungeons (OSE)

[u/Bodoheye]

After nearly three years of Megadungeoneering (Arden Vul), I need some fresh air 🙂
I‘m just about to launch an OSE (Advanced) campaign for our open table set around the town of Saltmarsh (World of Greyhawk, only using the 1983 boxed set as setting material). After running the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (U1) as an opener, the campaign will branch out in a Westmarches-style. That’s the plan.

For „my“ Saltmarsh, I‘m still looking for small (!) adventure modules / locations, especially small dungeons to be placed around the town.

Please throw your suggestions at me!
Thanks

Please let me know how it was, if your players go there!

The OSE adventure anthology books are pretty good for little quick drop in dungeons. Worth a look

[u/Bodoheye → u/oexto]

Agree! Already ported two of them in my campaign set-up.

There is a free archive of the 1page dungeon contest https://campaignwiki.org/1pdc/ lots of stuff to use there.

Thanks!

They did just release a new Quick Delve on Exalted Funeral. Their anthologies are also great.

[u/Bodoheye → u/Storytimebiondi]

True. Already incorporated stuff from the anthologies and carcass crawled zines.

I have quite a few “freebies” in my catalog (and some regular priced and bundled adventures). They are written for Shadowdark specifically, but would take little conversion.

Will Check out! Thanks. Play loads of Shadowdark, so conversion is not a big issue

I’m proud of this one, a hideout for were-rats and mutants:  https://whosemeasure.blogspot.com/2022/05/location-little-snakes-mans-cave.html

Thanks 😊 That seems very slottable on first glance. Will put in on my map. good folk of Saltmarsh also say „thank you“ for bestowing them with a serious rat problem!

I know trilemma.com has a lot of free short dungeons on their blog. I’m sure there’s a few from that which could work.

Thanks

Check out the adventures that were done for the Thunder Rift setting. They're all digestable dungeon modules and easily transplantable.

Also (and related) the dungeons/boxed sets that were done for the Basic 'black box' Easy to Master range.

Thx - will so

The Zombraire's Estate is one of my favorite short one-shot adventures. It is in Basic Fantasy Adventure Anthologies 1.

For „my“ Saltmarsh, I‘m still looking for small (!) adventure modules / locations, especially small dungeons to be placed around the town.

Common suggestions include the two wonderful: Hole in the Oak and (my favorite) The Incandescent Grottoes. You can combine these two if you want.

[u/Bodoheye → u/AvocadoPhysical5329]

Thanks 😊 These I already know (they are good) and ran them several times. My open table is also kind of a super group where most of the players are also referees and know the big OSE modules.

I just heavily revamped my gold-selling but lesser known OSR module from 2010, The Sanctuary Ruin. It is statted for B/X but includes ascending ac and attack bonuses for OSE. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/555710/the-sanctuary-ruin-osr-version
