Random Dungeon Generator

About the Dungeon Generator

Random dungeons are a staple of tabletop roleplaying games, video games, and fantasy fiction. Our dungeon generator creates unique layouts that can be used by game masters, video game developers, writers, and creative enthusiasts.

Dungeon Themes

The theme affects the description, encounter types, and overall atmosphere of your dungeon:

• Dungeon: Classic stone dungeons with cells, chambers, and corridors. Often containing prisoners, guards, and various creatures.
• Cave: Natural or partially excavated caverns with irregular shapes, stalactites, underground rivers, and cave-dwelling creatures.
• Temple: Sacred or profane structures with ceremonial chambers, altars, statues, and religious symbology. May contain zealots, cultists, or divine entities.
• Ruins: Collapsed and deteriorated structures from a lost civilization, with unstable areas, archaeological treasures, and opportunistic inhabitants.
• Crypt: Burial complexes with tombs, sarcophagi, undead, and funerary treasures. Often filled with traps to protect the dead.
• Mine: Excavated tunnels for resource extraction, with ore veins, mining equipment, mine carts, and creatures that have made the abandoned shafts their home.

Using Generated Dungeons

Our dungeon generator creates more than just maps. It provides a complete experience:

• Visual Map: Use the generated map as a reference for your adventure, whether drawing it out on a battle map or recreating it in digital form.
• Room Descriptions: Each important location comes with a description to help you visualize and describe the space to players or readers.
• Encounters: Monsters, traps, and treasures are placed throughout the dungeon, creating interesting challenges and rewards.
• Story Elements: Background details about the dungeon's purpose, history, and current inhabitants help create a cohesive adventure location.

Tips for Dungeon Masters

When using these generated dungeons in your tabletop RPG campaigns:

• Adapt to Your Campaign: Feel free to modify the generated content to fit your world's lore and your campaign's storyline.
• Scale Appropriately: Adjust the difficulty of encounters and traps based on your party's level and composition.
• Add Personality: Consider giving key NPCs or monsters unique personalities, motivations, or quirks to make encounters more memorable.
• Create Connections: Think about how this dungeon relates to other locations in your world, and who might have built it or inhabited it in the past.
• Allow Multiple Solutions: Remember that players may find creative ways to overcome challenges that weren't anticipated in the generation.
