 DUNGEON GENERATOR

To generate a dungeon:
1. Generate a Dungeon Function: Roll 1d12 on the applicable Dungeon Function
Table to generate the Dungeon Function. This is (or was) the primary function
of the dungeon. You may roll again to generate a Dungeon Function
(Secondary), etc. to generate supplemental functions of the dungeon.
2. Generate a Dungeon Theme: Roll 1d12 on the Dungeon Theme Table to
generate the Dungeon Theme. This is the primary theme for the entire
dungeon. You may roll again to generate a Dungeon Theme (Secondary), etc. to
generate supplemental themes for the entire dungeon.
3. Generate a Dungeon Theme - Level 1: Roll 1d12 on the Dungeon Theme Table
to generate the Dungeon Theme - Level 1. This is the primary theme for the
first level of the dungeon. You may roll again to generate a Dungeon Theme -
Level 1 (Secondary), etc. to generate supplemental themes for the first level of
the dungeon.
4. Generate a Dungeon Size: Roll 2d6 on the Dungeon Size Table to generate the
Dungeon Size.
5. Build Encounter Lists: Write down a list of encounters for each of the following
encounter types: Common, Uncommon, Rare and Legendary. Use these lists
when rolling on the Encounter Table. Encounters can be generated randomly by
rolling 1d12 on the Random Monster Tables: Composition Table, Skin Table,
Feature Table, Ability Table and Body Table.

Example: Tomb of Maggots

Dungeon Function: Tomb
Dungeon Theme: Cult
Dungeon Theme (Secondary): Infestation

 DUNGEON EXPLORER

To explore a dungeon, when entering a new room:

1. Generate a Room Function: Roll 1d12 on the Room Function Table to generate
the Room Function. This is (or was) the primary function of the room. You may
roll again to generate a Room Function (Secondary), etc. to generate
supplemental functions of the room.
2. Generate a Room Size: Roll 2d6 on the Room Size Table to generate the Room
Size.
3. Generate the Room Doors: Roll 2d6 on the Room Doors Table to generate the
number of Room Doors in the room. Once the total number of rooms (based on
the Dungeon Size) of the dungeon have been explored, all future rooms have
one door, leading back.
4. Generate the Room Contents: Roll 2d6 on the Room Contents Table to
generate the Room Contents. An empty room still contains clutter, furniture,
junk, debris, etc. Use the five senses (i.e. sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch) in
the description of the room.
5. Generate the Room Contents Specifics: Roll on the applicable table(s) for each
room content to generate the Room Contents Specifics (i.e. 1d12 on the Trap
Effect Table, 2d6 on the Encounter Table, 1d12 on the Motivation Table, 2d6 on
the Disposition Table and/or 2d6 on the Treasure Table.)

While exploring a dungeon:

1. Generate Wandering Monsters: Every set of (e.g. ten) minutes, roll 1d6. On a 1,
the player(s) encounter a wandering monster. On a 2, the player(s) are made
aware of a wandering monster (e.g. tracks, remains, sounds, smell, etc.) Roll 2d6
on the Encounter Table to generate the Wandering Monster.
2. Generate a Dungeon Theme - Level X: Roll 1d12 on the Dungeon Theme Table
for every new level of the dungeon to generate the Dungeon Theme - Level X.
This is the primary theme for that level of the dungeon. You may roll again to
generate a Dungeon Theme - Level X (Secondary), etc. to generate
supplemental themes for that level of the dungeon.
