Cave of Seiljua (OSR) This is a one-page-dungeon; as such, the dungeon and all text literally fit on, well, one page. There are no stats here, with monster-names bolded instead; the map is hand-drawn, in full-color, and surprisingly well-done – while a player-friendly, key-less version on a second page would have been appreciated, I still was positively surprised by the...

A Red Light, Heavy. (Novella) This novella clocks in at 59 pages if you take away the usual editorial etc., though it should be noted that there is a lot of blank space throughout the book, courtesy of the unique concept of the book.
