I'm toying with the idea of creating a Dolmenwood competitor that corrects the largest flaw of that game (lack of premade dungeons). I'm gonna assemble a list of 100 unique OSR dungeon ideas to feed into my bespoke dungeon generation procedure. What do you think of the few I've come up with in the last half hour? Got any good one-liners to base a dungeon on?
>The clashing rocks
>Swarms and swarms of enemies
>noclipping
>Copious fake mcguffins
>permanent sacrifices of stats etc
>Evil deeds for advancement
>Dungeon where things are constantly thrown at you (like rocks)
>The Purge village like the Xaurip village from BG1 where they all just go apeshit when you arrive
>Violent turf-war in a still operating factory
>Party gets separated at the entrance and has to find a way to reunite
>Combat trials at a colosseum
>Tower of the Womp Wizard, who pops in and out to make everything lame
>dungeon made of food
>Tarot-based shuffle crawl where the rooms are mapped to cards drawn for a reading and the fate of a party that completes the dungeon successfully is constrained to the results of their reading
>footprints of a giant slow-moving colossus in a desert which are slowly swept aside by attendants on a scale of months

I think DnD 5e would be right up your alley, it has a lot of premade dungeons and adventures
