WHAT IT DOES:

This app produces a dungeon map image with customizable resolution (suitable for printing or for online play on a virtual tabletop) and a formatted room-by-room key.

Implemented Features:

• Control over dungeon size, shape, room sizes, room frequency (lots of rooms packed into a small space vs rooms scattered around), hallway squigglyness, number of dead-ends, staircases, general dungeon security level, monster difficulty.
• Hallways include height.
• Room dimensions, including height.
• Monster encounters keyed to party CER ("Combat Effectiveness Rating" - a starting party of four is usually in the 100-150 range).
• Wandering monster table, populated primarily from monsters found in the dungeon.
• Treasures keyed to encounter difficulty and overall dungeon CER (with option to produce completely random treasure using the DF8 treasure generator service, online)
• Concealed treasures.
• Doors with GURPS/DFRPG statistics for forcing open, picking, and breaking down. And shoving open, if they're particularly heavy.
• Secret or concealed doors
• Portcullises and how hard they are to lift.
• Traps (currently handled by references to published traps).
• Notes on general environmental conditions (Mana level, Sanctity, lighting).
• Odd dungeon features (misty or dangerous atmospheres, weird and magical pools and fountains - and mundane ones).
• Random dungeon junk in rooms to provide some colour and potentially interesting environments to interact with.
• Randomize travel time to the dungeon or select manually. Further dungeons have better loot, but burn more resources to get there and back again.
• Travel to the dungeon is in a stated Survival specialty (chosen randomly)

TODO:

• Traps in hallways and otherwise in specific hexes rather than nebulously in a room.
• Create random rumours about the dungeon to find in town.
• Create some quest hooks - provide McGuffins to recover, kidnapped NPCs, name particularly notorious monsters, generate bounties
• Generate some "exceptional" monsters with lenses or special abilities.
• Have the program create completely new traps keyed to party CER, and provide statistics to the GM
• Pit traps, and pits as an alternative to stairs to the next level. I love pit traps.
• More dungeon environmental conditions:
  • What are the walls made of and how easy are they to climb?
  • What are the floors made of, and do they impose any interesting effects on movement and combat?
  • These have implications for PCs trying creative solutions, and are key factors for determining Natures Power for druids (not currently evaluated).
• Determine Natures Power level.
• Traps in specific room hexes and in hallways.
• "Setpiece" rooms and encounters - hand-crafted by a human to be guarenteed to make sense.
• More variable hallway widths, option to force a minimum of 2 yards or 3 yards.
• More coherent hallway digging algorithm (as an option; insane is also fun)
• option to create "flow" in the dungeon level, adjusting difficulty according to proximity to entrance/exit.
• match up stairs up/down to a "generate next floor" option
• option to regenerate a room, encounter, treasure, or trap if you don't like it
• Themed monster groups (with the option for totally insane monster groups too)
• Dungeons (or subsections of large dungeons) entirely populated on a selectable theme
• Cool hash-fill dungeon design
• put water on the map
• position dungeon junk on the map? (may never happen)
