[QUOTE="AnthonyRoberson, post: 3039391, member: 3505"] I whipped up some tables last night to generate random dungeons using the new [B]Dungeon Tiles[/B]. The tables aren't complete yet, but let me know what you think! BTW, can someone tell me how to format the tables so they display properly? I can't figure out the correct vBcode to do it... [Edited to correct some errors in the tables] RANDOM DUNGEON GENERATION USING DUNGEON TILES These tables are intended to be used with Dungeon Tiles and the random monster, traps and treasure tables from the DMG to create random dungeon adventures. A dungeon always starts by placing a 10' x 20' stairs tile. The stairs end in a Room (see TABLE V) TABLE I: Periodic Check Roll Result 1-5 Continue straight - place a 10' x 20' corridor tile and check again (this table) 6-9 Door (see TABLE II) 10-12 Side Passage (see TABLE III) 13-16 Passage Turns (see TABLE IV) 17 Stairs (see TABLE VI) 18 Dead End (may check for left, right and ahead for secret doors. Success indicates a secret door is found) 19 Corridor Feature (Table VII) 20 Wandering Monster (see DMG), check again immediately to see what lies ahead so that direction of monster's approach can be determined. TABLE II: Doors Location of Door: Roll Location 1-6 Left 7-12 Right 13-30 Ahead Space Beyond Door Is Roll Result 1-3 Parallel passage (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) or small room (place 10' x 10' room tile) if door is straight ahead 4-9 Passage straight ahead (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) 10-20 Room TABLE III: Side Passage Roll Result 1-7 Passage to the left (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) 8-14 Passage to the right (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) 15-18 T-intersection (place two 10' x 20' corridor tiles) 19-20 Four-way intersection (place three 10' x 20' corridor tiles) TABLE IV: Passage Turns Roll Result 1-10 Left 90 degrees (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) 11-20 Right 90 degrees (place 10' x 20' corridor tile) TABLE V: Rooms (Roll for Room Size, Number of Exits and Room Contents) Roll Room Size 1-2 10' x 10' 3-8 10' x 20' 9-15 20' x 20' 16-17 20' x 30' * 18-19 20' x 40' 20 40' x 50' * Combine previous two tiles to create this size room TABLE V.

Replace room tile with larger tile if necessary. [/QUOTE]
