Pre-pandemic I had the honor and pleasure to play in @PeterHeeringa's and Troy Wilhelmson's DUNGEON OF DREZZAR.
It's an entire dungeon built, level by level, into the drawers of an old dresser.

Here's the top of the dungeon.
The Dungeon of Drezzar is run as an old school-style open table using 5th Edition rules: There's a "tavern" complete with a notice board where adventuring parties can leave messages for each other.

As you can see here, each drawer of the dresser can be pulled out and put on the table.
But there's also cool features in the dresser itself: For example, you can actually peer down the old well on the surface of the dresser into the dark recesses of the lower levels.

(They give you a flashlight if your character has darkvision.)
At the bottom of the dungeon, of course, there's a dragon guarding the mad wizard's treasure.
Wait a minute... That looks awfully familiar.
Yup! They replicated the cover of the 1981 Basic Set!
I can only assume, therefore, that this is what Drezzar himself looks like, cackling with glee as he watches adventurers bumble their way through his dungeon.
"Make sure you get my good side."
We had a great time and we (somehow!) managed to conquer the dungeon.
Wish I could do it again!
