Hello, I was wondering if I could get recommendations for ready-made small dungeons. I'm looking for something approximately 1/6 to 1/10 the size of Sunless Citadel, maybe about 10 rooms or so. Aside from the size, key features I'm looking for are classic non-monster features, like secret doors, traps, puzzles, NPCs, maybe a simple plot to pursue. So while I want monsters to fight, I also want the classic D&D trimmings so that it's not *just* a hack and slash.

Is there anything like this available, maybe for free online, but even if it's a commercial product?

Why look for a dungeon when you can just generate (http://www.myth-weavers.com/generate_dungeon.php?) some (http://davesmapper.com/)?

Well I was hoping for something a bit more thorough than random generators are. Random generators are pretty good for basic layouts but I've found they don't populate the dungeons as interestingly as humans do.

Try Googling "A Dark and Stormy Knight," which is a small dungeon for 1st level characters. It's a bit on the easy side, though.

The first adventure from the Age of Worms adventure path, "The Whispering Cairn," primarily features a dungeon that's not too terribly large. It's also for 1st level characters, but it's pretty brutal.

Check these out. (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20030530b&page=1) They tend to be short and aren't always the greatest (in my opinion), but hopefully there will be something you like!

Madgoth's Castle (FR Undermount AD&D dungeon crawl) it could be converted pretty quickly. Dungeon Dive 5: Eye of the Storm, Dungeon Dive 3: The Hungry Demiplane.
