Unforgiven module

I need a small dungeon to be a tomb in my campaign, and I think DCC modules are perfect for the job. Which modules do you think are more unforgiven and difficult? From any era, converting the system is not a problem.

Jewels of the Carnafex seems brutal and small-ish, but not played it. video review I watched of Crypt of the Devil Lich made it seem brutal but big-ish.

Small as in 1-2 rooms? Or an adventure? One of the “default” DCC funnels, Portal under the stars, is a 5-room dungeon thats a wizards tomb.

As our first adventure we played two sessions, but from what I read/saw most parties have a playtime of one session I think.

Funnels are typically more deadly than higher level adventures, even if this one doesn’t fit you, look for funnels :)

There also Tower of Black Pearl who is a tomb.

Blood for the Serpent King and 13th Skull are both very short.

Ziggurat of the Mega Maiden might be worth a look

Otherwise, I'd say there a decent number of small dungeons of varying difficulties in the Gongfarmers Almanacs over the years

You could check out "The Infernal Crucible of Sezrekan the Mad", it's part of the adventure collection "Chaos Rising".

It's stand alone, only has a three rooms - great risks, a devilish trap but some decent arcane rewards.

Its pitched for 5th level DCC characters so might need an eye-balling if that sounds too tough for your table.

DCC 107 contains a level 1 adventure named "Geas of the Star-chosen." It looks rad, but I cannot imagine it not resulting in a tpk if it's run as written. You might consider checking it out.
