A downloadable game

By the gods, what is this?! 

•This generator creates quick, easy-to-use dungeons for the fantasy TTRPG of your choice. Use it while prepping, building a sandbox, or even as players or you yourself explore it in real time.


How to use this strange magic?

• Start by rolling a D20 to define the dungeon entrance.

• Each square is 10×10 feet.

• Each opening (marked by arrows) leads to a new room. 

 • To create new rooms at openings , roll 4d6 and use the matching tables for room type, shape, and content (see below).

• Rotate the rooms to fit the map and connect properly. • Use extra rolls if required to add more room details.

 • Tables are labeled A1, D3 to help with cross-referencing.

• Stairs lead to deeper floors with bigger treasures and more dangerous foes !

• Use monster tables that fit the floor level (e.g., D3 for the first two floors of the level)


Where does it all end?! 

• If you want to limit dungeon size, pick the lower combo of the two dice from your layout roll (e.g., 6 & 1 = 16, not 61).


We hit a structural wall?! 

 • If a new room shape overlaps existing rooms, adjust the new rooms shape to fit the space and connect room openings if existent.


Too many monsters, Mr. DM?!
• For more consistent enemies, roll 2D20 and use a monster type already found (or the first roll).


You rolled a what now?!

• Use logic! You can pre-roll the dungeon and of course still adjust elements or tweak them on the fly if it breaks immersion or consistency .

• These tables are just a starting point feel free to change, expand, or trim it as you like. Make it yours.

• And Most of all have fun

Very cool generator, I gave it a test generation and it worked very well. I just noticed a few things: 

-On table B3 some entries refer to F tables when they are probably supposed to refer to E tables. 

-On table B2 and some others, there are fractions but it's not explained in the rules what they mean. Does Monster (2/6 +Feature) mean you roll up the monsters and then reduce them to 1/3 of the number and add a Feature? Or does the 2/6 affect the feature somehow? 

-Lastly the treasure seems a bit too random. I got results between 2 and 1,700 GP on the first level. I think it should be a bit more flat and dependent on the level, maybe with gems and art included.

But overall it was a fun experience and the results are great inspiration, I especially enjoyed the Frescoes and Shrines. Keep up the great work!

This looks like one of the better dungeon generators I've seen.  Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you for the encouragement, crinkle ! :)

Great work! A couple things I found:

Seems like entry 4 (Frescoes) on table E3 should go to E8 (the Frescoes table), not E3 (the Statues table)

Also the E3 table heading is misspelled as "Staues" not "Statues"

Amazing! Great generator.

This is a great tool, I can see it being my goto from now on! I wondered whether you'd be able to post the geomorphs as separate images? I'd like to be able to use them in a VTT.

(+1)

I can do that. Which File Type would Work For that best?

(+2)

PNG works for me, but I believe a lot of VTTs support webm as well. Thank you!

(+1)

I also would up this request.
It's will be very nice to have this dungeon pieces in .png/.jpg format.

(+1)

So each room as a seperate png right? 

I can do that on the upcoming Weekend :)

Yes.
As 'piece' I mean every numbered dungeon 'tetromino'/'room'/etc.
Thank you ahead! =)

Nice generator!
But how it's licensed? Can I make online tool (free) based on these images and logic?

(+1)

Open Gaming license! If you Credit the Project/me feel free to make an online Tool! If you Need Something Just Hit me Up! ;)

(+1)

Nice, thank you!

To properly license this under the ogl you need to include this license text http://opengamingfoundation.org/ogl.html

You could release this under CC BY-SA 4.0
this would do most of the same things, but make it much easier for other people to use this.
All you'd have to do for that is add "This is released under  CC BY-SA 4.0" or something similar
