[QUOTE="ruemere, post: 9869601, member: 5515"] A small update - just in case anyone was interested. I have created a dungeon stocking generator that runs in Python and stocks a dungeon based on Shadowdark dungeon stocking tables. Actually, I have used Shadowdark tables, imported them into YAML file, and used ChatGPT to generate necessary scripts. The files: (see attached [B]py.zip[/B]) test.md - a text file of a test dungeon - markdown format test.yml - a text file for potential further processing - yaml format dungeon_stocking.py - the generator in Python. To run it, you need to install Python, and then install pyyaml module by running "pip install pyyaml" dungeon_stocking.yml - the Shadowdark dungeon stocking tables definitions To call the script call it like this for [B]repeatable[/B] results: [B]python dungeon_stocking.py --out-md test.md --out-yaml test.yml --seed 1499496584 --danger-level Unsafe --site-size Large --site-type Ruins dungeon_stocking.yml[/B] Or like this to get fully randomized: [B]python dungeon_stocking.py --out-md test.md --out-yaml test.yml dungeon_stocking.yml[/B] Trace section is to provide more insight into working of the generator. Enjoy! Sample results: ---- [HEADING=2]Dungeon Stocking[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Site Profile[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][B]Danger level:[/B] Unsafe [*][B]Site size:[/B] Large (12d10) [*][B]Site type:[/B] Ruins [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Rooms[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 1 (treasure: Protected by trap; add-on: trap: Ancient, Magical)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 2 (major hazard: Drowning hazard)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 3 (npc: Wounded)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 4 (trap: Sturdy, Mechanical)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 5 (minor hazard: Enfeebling magic)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 6 (empty)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 7 (major hazard: Long fall)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 8 (treasure: Guarded by monster; add-on: solo monster: Sneaky, Spellcaster)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 9 (monster mob: Stealthy, Vermin)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 10 (npc: Hiding)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 11 (npc: Wounded)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 12 (treasure: Guarded by monster; add-on: solo monster: Clever, Pariah)[/HEADING] ---- [HEADING=2]Dungeon Stocking[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Site Profile[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][B]Danger level:[/B] Unsafe [*][B]Site size:[/B] Medium (8d10) [*][B]Site type:[/B] Ruins [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Rooms[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 1 (npc: Hiding)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 2 (npc: Captive)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 3 (empty)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 4 (solo monster: Mighty, Ambusher)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 5 (major hazard: Long fall)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 6 (monster mob: Stealthy, Vermin)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 7 (empty)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 8 (npc: Wounded)[/HEADING] ---- [HEADING=2]Dungeon Stocking[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Site Profile[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][B]Danger level:[/B] Unsafe [*][B]Site size:[/B] Large (12d10) [*][B]Site type:[/B] Tomb [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Rooms[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 1 (solo monster: Clever, Pariah)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 2 (npc: Wounded)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 3 (major hazard: Entrapping terrain)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 4 (monster mob: Magical, Warriors)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 5 (npc: Rival crawlers)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 6 (empty)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 7 (boss_monster: Physically strongest)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 8 (npc: Rival crawlers)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 9 (npc: Captive)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 10 (trap: Large, Magical)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 11 (monster mob: Reckless, Tricksters)[/HEADING] [HEADING=3]Room 12 (boss_monster: Supreme sorcerer)[/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
