BlazingTornado 1834 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) It's neat. But it has some flaws. Also every time I generate something there's always an adventurer just sitting casually behind secret doors exactly like 5. up there, I don't get it. Also, scarves. Lots and lots of scarves.

ced1106 4707 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 Dunno. Some gold with some gold sounds like my kind of gold. Anyway, search on "random dungeon generator" for other goodies. Donjon also has other random whatever generators, including inns, taverns, world, towns, campaigns, NPC's... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The maps are prettier, at least. I like the cross hatching. Is that an old school thing? Grump is the only person I know that does that on real life maps.

Grump is the only person I know that does that on real life maps. I started doing that in 1980 - going from a pencil map to a pencil map that I then ink, and cross hatch - just because it looks better. Many maps do not make it to that stage - just ones I will be using for a while. (I no longer have the first map I inked - a maze below a barrow.)

PaganMegan 15918 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 I like their Manor generator, but you can't save them the same way, you have to do screen shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grump is the only person I know that does that on real life maps. Perhaps? I don’t remember when I started doing that; my first dungeon didn’t have it on the earliest levels, but eventually (before 1979) did, at least for stone sections internal to the trace: Later I also started outlining them; a doodled dungeon here from a 1987 notebook: In both cases, it looks like these were done with my habitual 4-color pen, though mostly using the red, blue, and black. The green block in the first one is a patch of green slime, but I apparently didn’t think a key was necessary and have no idea what the solid red rectangle in the corridor in the lower center of the first map was supposed to represent...

TheAuldGrump 41626 Report post Posted November 8, 2019 So, yeah - since we were both gaming in the '70s... I would say that it counts as old school. The Auld Grump 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
