I would say this is a way to generate a set of random encounters ... not so much an adventure/dungeon.My adventures have always started with a cool idea, and with a whole lot of interacting reasons for why there are monsters in a particular location, and why there is a problem.A simple idea: A long time ago, a dam was built across a river.  Over time, that silted over, creating a wide bog.  Within the bog are the ruins of the dam, including a lock.More recently, a necromancer made use of blocks from the dam to construct a tower.  The tower is directly over the lock.Very recently, the necromancer died.  Monsters invading his tower are steadily converted into undead, and have been wandering downstream into a populated area.Encounters: A couple of undead at a town that is downstream.  A talk with the town elders.  An encounter with spiders in the bog, maybe with other bog critters.  A pit trap at the entrance to the tower, with a fall into the lock (along with a couple of undead trapped there).  Another encounter with undead in the tower, including the undead remains of the necromancer.</blockquote>
