Dungeon Pamphlet: Crimson Gore-Blossom

Pressed for time? This 17 room dungeon is a quick drop-in. 

The Gore-Blossom is a enormous red flower whose intoxicating scent and clouds of hypnotic pollen arrests victims from miles away and leads them to collapse at the base of the blossom—to be dragged beneath and fertilize it's swollen roots.
After years of feeding, an earthen cyst formed around its roots opening into a hidden dungeon.

CHRONO-MANTIS

It's spiked forelegs ripping a hole in space and time; an 8' tall Mantis of translucent crystal bursts forth. It's multifaceted eyes reflect a hundred-thousand worlds, living fractals dance across it's skin etched in impossible colors. It's recursive mouths never end—a roiling hole of mandibles and teeth, it's movements profane geometry, and suddenly, it's upon you.

Getting Started for Dirt Cheap—12, 20, or more $$

Notes:

The rulesets I recommend are cheap compatible with the majority of OSR stuff, and safe picks for any group. Some more exotic or wacky, but free, rulesets are given at the end of the post. Check them out, one might grab your eye.

Taxes, I did not factor in taxes. Usually a couple extra bucks.

Shipping, if included, is for WA, USA.

Amazon, if you don't have prime (free shipping), ask a friend.

Library Printing (LP), usually ~$0.10 a single-sided page. They may also have staplers and the big guillotine things, sometimes card-holders get a free printing allowance.

Packing Tape, put strips over paper, now you can use dry-erase markers.

One page dungeons, print some.

Legend of the Pig-Faced Orc

Of all the mighty cities of yesteryear, Ulyaabus was the greatest. 

Her marble towers reached into the clouds and heavenly gardens floated between her spires. The citizens of Ulyaabus lived in utmost luxury, as all their wants were seen to by the learned sorcerers who dwelt among them. Many serfs farmed the lands outside their walls, and many paupers would travel to the city, hoping to be taken into the house of a great lord or lady.

The City That Was - Tim Hildebrandt

Indeed, the wonders of magic performed there were unmatched in all the ancient world, and never will be again, for the magicians of Ulyaabus had untold epochs to learn and perfect their craft. You see, the people of Ulyaabus—at least those dwelling in the marble spires—did not age. Nor did they fall sick in the winter, have any pains or any troubles of the body at all.
