Can anyone recommend a good system for simple dungeon creation on the fly for 5E? Not a huge fan of donjon and the like since I see the entire thing. My preference is a simplified version of what is in the DMG that would let me roll and explain the situation of the room so that I can let Mythic fill in the gaps along with some random encounter rolls that can be done separately.

  1. Sophia Brandt Dropbox changed how they handle sharing files and I haven't updated my site to reflect that (or much at all in awhile really). Thanks for finding that link!

    Here's a version of a generator I did for my zine: docs.google.com - 6IS Dungeon Generator

    You can roll 3d6, 1d4, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, and 1d20 and get a lot of info at once.

  2. Vincent Deeney I tended to use the b/x 1d6 for room contents with that barebones method:
    1-2 Monster
    3 Trap
    4 Special/Weird
    5-6 Empty

    There's a chance of treasure in a separate table but I don't have that memorized :)

    Here's a more complicated generator that uses cards and dice together, that includes that b/x d6 table: tabletopdiversions.blogspot.com - Dungeon Generator Updated: Now with More Reasonable Room Sizes!

    Check out the comment from PCCleric for adding odd shaped rooms.

  3. Everyone thanks.. some great content here.. Really glad I found this group as I think it will make the difference between something I try and move on from in a few months to something I get years of rich enjoyment with!
