Rogue-like

I have written a somewhat procedural random dungeon generator based on a lot of random numbers. I find that it is a bit easier to just use a random number generator than actually rolling dice most of the time.

I'm going to make a somewhat large dungeon, starting with 1d4x8 rooms. I got a 4, so I'll have 32 rooms. I need 32 random numbers between 1 and 100. I use this link a few times and write out what I have plus an entrance, marked "E".

Start to fill out
rooms according to the dungeon generator.....

 

You should sort of try to guide things into a general form you like, the little swirls are connected portals: 

 

next I sort of digitize, meld together and rearrange 

 

 And then add doors and numbers, also putting in some locked and secret doors of course.

This time I am populating the rooms using the Labyrinth Lord room stocking tables because I want to keep an old school feel, but I think this can be adapted for any genre. The LL table has a "unique" room, for these I made up story and puzzle points.
