I’m running a game for a couple of friends using Black Sword Hack, and the first session ended with the PCs staring down a long, dark passage into the earth. I had planned for this to lead into TotSK, but am curious if there are any other published dungeons that I may want to use instead.

Some additional info: One player is pretty experienced; he’s been playing in my other, weekly group for about 4 years and has a good mind for ttrpgs. The other is very new to RPGs (a few 5e sessions, and two sessions of DCC that I ran) but is starting to wrap his head around it, especially the differences in play between an average, casual group playing 5e and more OSR games like DCC and BSH. The PCs had a little foreknowledge about what might be awaiting them via the visions of an old seeress, but nothing more detailed than machines boring a hole into the earth and the revealing of some scary, inhuman faces from the gloom.

I had wanted to use TotSK for its intended purpose of teaching the table the basics of old-school play, and because I needed a dungeon full of inhuman enemies and remnants of an ancient culture. This is to be a pretty sandboxy game, using a homebrew setting, so I’m not too worried about needing to change the flavor of published material to fit my game. Ideally any suggestions don’t involve much extra content like settlements and whatnot–a straight-up, short-to-mid-length dungeon would be great. Just curious if the community has any cool recommendations!
