This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looking for low-level ‘Old-School’ dungeon recommendation

As the title says, levels 2-3

This is for a D&D Next/5e play-test and I want to supplement my designs with something pre-build (which I can "update" as necessary).

The only restraint that concerns me is the party will have PC(s) with the innate ability to hover and fly.

The first 3 levels of the Darkness Beneath from Fight On! magazine are EXCELLENT!

Ironwood Gorge is great, and it will let them hover without it being a gamechanger, I think.

The BD&D scenario Horror on the Hill always seemed to me to be one of the better low level dungeon crawl modules.

I found uk2 the sentinel to be very DM friendly and easy to run, and setting neutral where it can be dumped into any settimg
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

It's good but I am not sure I would consider it particularly dungeoncrawly. There is one medium sized dungeon, but the other two are small and just two rooms respectively. The sequel "The Gauntlet" has a larger dungeon in it.

Caverns of Thracia is "old school" partly in that some things will be way too tough for characters of that level to overcome, but there's plenty else for them to deal with.
