Lair of the Lamb by Arnold K.

In this 0-level funnel, players awake to find themselves being chased in the darkness by an abominable god-child their only goal being to escape! A fantastic adventure due to its universality (chase by a monster in the dark) and high intractability. Perfect for non-players of D&D/fantasy RPGs.

Tomb of the Serpent Kings by Skerples

Before the Lamb, this was my go-to dungeon for new players. An adventure involving developing a forgotten tomb of a lost serpent empire, this module does a good job slowing introducing aspects of old-school play. Perfect for players of more modern D&D to get a feel for navigating editions past (like the retro-clones above).
