I don't feel random dungeons make turning the results into a living environment impossible or even difficult. An important thing to remember about just about every random table in AD&D is that Gygax indicates multiple times that any result you don't like should be ignored. As much flak as AD&D gets for being DM controlled, it's stated many, many times over that the DM should ignore whatever rule he needs to in order to facilitate gameplay. The sword in AD&D, possibly more than in any other edition, swings both ways.</blockquote>
