Gramarye Dungeon Layout Generator

 Dungeon Layout Generator

by Sean Hembree @ Gramarye Games

This application builds dungeon layouts using a detailed procedure  from 10-room "sections" (levels, districts, or faction territories). Great for any TTRPG with dungeon-like spaces.

No procedural dungeon generator I’ve ever come across has met my standards (which are, admittedly, extreme). Usually, they prioritize aesthetics over game-ability. Sometimes they try to help you too much, which takes the joy out of writing a dungeon and results in generic designs. More often, they are too simplistic and therefore detrimental to player agency, rendering them useless. When I set out to write my own game, I needed a tool to help me design a lot of very game-able dungeons very quickly. Naturally, I turned to the luminaries of the OSR and indie RPG blogosphere for inspiration. I can’t cite every influence on this generator but there are a few articles that especially inspired its shape:

• Traverse Fantasy’s Bite-Sized Dungeons
• Murkdice’s Dungeon Stocking Overhaul
• Goblinpunch’s Dungeon Checklist
• The Alexandrian’s Node-based Design, and Xandering the Dungeon (by way of Jennell Jaquays)
