Hey, folks! Since it seems as if this sub-board needs a little love I thought I'd kick things off with the introduction of a resource I found a few years ago, Gozzy's Random Map Creators. Gozzy's has map creators for dungeon complexes, cavern complexes and even wilderness areas. There's even a gallery of ready made maps with extra added little details from other creators. Here's an old-school classic map for you I just created from Gozzy's Random Dungeon Creator:  Just the thing to kick-off a pick-up Beer-and-Pretzels session! |

Very nice! The script ghosted in the background is a nice touch. Also looks very suitable for miniatures or for roll20. Here's a couple map generators I like, One from chaoticshiny.com/mapgen.php - Chaotic Shiny has a whole heap on generators. This particular one does schematics of populated wilderness, see attached picture. One nice thing is it looks like something out of a 1978 fanzine.  Another site with a lot of generators is Donjon, donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/dungeon/ is a dungeon generator that will build and populate a truly massive dungeon. Attached picture part of a populated dungeon I dug with it. It has some cool features such as cross-hatch and isometric. It will do full stats for ToG and d20 with a similar generator, this link is for the "generic fantasy dungeon". Of course, there's nothing quite like a pencil, some graph paper and a few minutes to spare - perhaps the best tunnels have been done the old-fashioned way - but these tools can provide terrific inspiration. I'm interested to hear some of your experiences with them. I can recall my friend and I, in about '82, using the random dungeon generator in the 1st ed DMG to build GM-less dungeon for us to explore, rolling one room at a time.  |

There's some great dungeon generators at Wizardawn and Mag. wizardawn.and-mag.com/They do D&D, S&W, T&T 5, 7 and Deluxe as well. You can customize the frequency of encounters, traps, treasure quality, etc. You can make a single dungeon or a multi level dungeon delve. I'd add that what I like best about Donjon's maps are the descriptions of what the wandering monsters are up to. I just generated one with 5 were rats are "wandering senselessly" and 3 small monstrous scorpion "bloodied and fleeing a more powerful enemy." That's a nice tool if you can't think of something interesting for your wandering monsters to be up to. |

2t&tNot a random generator but I use Dysons exclusively. They are too beautiful to not use. Every. Single. Time. DYSONS MAPS <---wow! |

Yes, it's one of the best for T&T.

DunGen:This Dungeon Generator is very basic, but good quality. When a map is made there is no doors, traps (may have to join, which means money), though noted some stairs. Rooms can repeat, but that is expected and worth a look... dungen.app/dungen/
