Can anyone suggest a module to me based on this criteria?

I am running a 1 shot soon with about 5-6 players. Two of those players have never played DCC before, the others love it and know the game. I am looking for a fun level 0 adventure. My regular players have played Starless Sea, Pit People and are going through Frozen in Time, so I can't run those. I really loved Starless Sea.

There are a lot of really great looking unofficial level 0 adventures out there, but I have one more stipulation that is causing a lot of trouble for me.

It needs to be a 1 shot, that I can run in about 6-7 hours. I'll have characters pre-rolled etc, so that should help. I'm at a loss as a lot of reviews don't mention play time.

So in short.

- Can't be Starless Sea, Frozen in Time or Pit People
- Has to be a Level 0 Adventure
- Has to be a one shot
- Has to be good, lol

Any Ideas?

Prince Charming, Reanimator, is available as "Pay What You Want" on RPG Now. I wrote it, and it has gotten good reviews. The price is most certainly right!

Jon Marr's Perils of the Sunken City should be playable within your time frame, and is a lot of fun. Also available on RPG Now.

I'll second RC's suggestions & call me Mr. Obvious but I'll add Portal Under The Stars.

I figured most people had played Portal by now, but it is definitely fun, Mr. Obvious.

I ran PCR for a small group last night. We had a blast. There's quite a bit of loot in there. They missed a little of it. But we played the whole thing in about a five hour session. Nice work Mr.Crowking :D

Price is also right for Doom of the Savage Kings, the first 0-level adventure for DCC (included with pre-orders of the Core Book. Easily as good as Starless Sea. And it's FREE.

But, I also concur with previous suggestions. Prince Charming is great. Perils of the Sunken City is iconic (Jon also has two others, both 0-level adventures). Attack of the Frawgs might fit your criteria. There's also Appendix N Adventures (Brave Halfling). Ruins of Ramat is a good one-shot.

IME, the play time for Doom of the Savage Kings was over 6-7 hours. This is not a criticism, but a bonus, except when you are trying to fit within a certain window.

If Frozen in Time hadn't been on the "can't be" list, I would have included it in my recommends. Actually, Mr. Curtis' The Old God's Return is another possibility.
