Quest for the Murder Sword
A downloadable game
Cannibal cultists excavated the corpse of the dead Kill-Giant Khrakrazh, searching for His unholy Murder Sword. But, for what foul purpose?
Quest for the Murder Sword is a system-agnostic dungeon delve into the cursed gut of a dead titan. Grab a torch, a sword and a couple of character sheets and get going!

Played this yesterday in a 3 hour session. The players absolutely loved descending down a skeletton.
My tips for hosting this as a oneshot: Ask the players what evil cult they swore revenge on. Let them flavor the cult. Then change the cultists in-game accordingly. This adds some investment on the players' part, sets a clear goal (=take revenge), and it makes the scenario reusable for you. You'll always be surprised who the bad guys are this time.
(In my case, apart from resurrecting the Kill-Giant, the cult was all about eating donkeys. Thus I decided they didn't have high priests, but "head chefs". The prisoners were sewn in a donkey costume. It was great.)
Overall: Quest for the Murder Sword is an excellent dungeon that is easily adaptable to suit any needs. Also, it looks gorgeous.
Cannibal cults, blood sacrifice, giant murder swords. What's not to love?
