Create your own one-page random
dungeon generation tables with customized theme, encounters, and
results.
Random dungeon generation systems have been a part
of roleplaying games since their birth in the 1970s; these tools for
creating randomized settings and encounters have found renewed
popularity with the recent resurgence of dungeon-delving in the “Old
School Renaissance” movement and the pursuit of solitaire gaming.
Use with any dungeon-delving
game system!
Schweig’s Themed Dungeon Generator
system provides a form outline for customizing a random delve built
around a general theme – such as a goblin lair, sorcerer’s
basement, ancient ruin, minotaur’s labyrinth, frog-god temple –
easily incorporated into most fantasy roleplaying games and even
other genres.
A form and some basic instructions offer guidance
in choosing die ranges for corridors, chambers, stocking potential
traps and exceptional treasures, and preparing a menu of escalating
encounters. Fill out the form in PDF and print to paper or PDF; or
just print out the blank form and fill it out by hand. Once complete
it’s ready for generating a room-by-room dungeon for on-the-fly
group play or an unscripted solitaire delve.

meaningful but unexpected old school delving!”
