I'm not sure I understand the suggestion. Can you show a worked example?

DF2 has suggestions for how often wandering monsters show up on a check. I'm talking about implementing that, and how often to have a check.
I'll give you how I do these. Copy/paste from my campaign wiki, with some editing:
"Wandering Monsters happen 6 or less on 3d every turn; 7 is
clue if moving."
A "turn" to me means 10-minutes, a la the Red Box, which I designate as being the rough time it takes to pass through a room and be at least kinda searching. So instead of rolling 9 or less once an hour, I roll 6 or less six times an hour, or every room. Saves me from keeping track of raw time.
For keyed wandering monsters, you'd have to have the generator generate the dungeon and all the rooms first, then have the wandering monster picker pick from those.

(EDIT: If you mean like traps and things in hallways, though, that is on the list yes)

That's what I meant. All the little lowercase letters telling me where there's a random cold spot in the hallway.
