Cave of the Shiny Crabs
A downloadable Zungeon
Cave of the Shiny Crabs is a 6-room Zungeon made by me and my five-year-old, who helped with the concept, art, and zine assembly.
Currently just a PDF with images of the handmade zine, but a text file will be added as well.
Features:
- Three factions and four creatures to deal with
- Giant crabs
- An even bigger crab
- So much treasure
- Treasure that turns people into crabs
- System-neutral-ish OSR stats

Ran this for my players. They saved the lion, stole some cursed gold, and then tried to kill the crabs with a fire and oil trick. They ended up causing the whole cave system to explode. The mermaid got really mad at them, and now they're slowly turning into crabs. Very fun adventure!
Thank you so much for sharing this story!
I love to know that someone has actually played it, and that sounds like you had a really fun time.
This is hands down one of the best five room dungeon type modules I’ve seen. It looks like a lot of fun. I’ll probably also use it in Mausritter. I’ll see if my ten anime artist will feel confident enough to help me on a second Zungeon after seeing this.
My little guy asked if I could run it for him in Mausritter, I said “yes, if you will make a dungeon for the kid who made it” and he said yes.
So your kid is a trendsetter. A TALENTED one, no less.
👀 need to see what he makes and maybe I can get my kid to play it too. We’d been playing some Perils & Princesses before, but she hasn’t had as much interest in games with dice recently.
This looks amazing
