OloreWellmetHowdy,

When I design a dungeon complex, I'm sometimes lacking inspiration in what to put in. So, here are a few room types, and I invite you to add your own:

-Dormitory
-Eating hall
-Master bedroom
-Library
-Storeroom
-Forge
-Chapel
-Bath
-Summoning room
-Jail
-Kitchen
-Shrine
-Courthall
-Armory
-Laboratory
-Study

You might also go the old-fashioned route of not having any particular name or theme for the room or hallway, but just having something weird happen in it and seeing what name your players give it.

For example, when we were tooling around Undermountain, our map was labeled with such notable tourist attractions as "Suck Pit" and "Certain Death" and "Centipede Raceway."
