NPC Creator
The NPC Creator is used to create or refine existing NPCs. One of the strongest core
concepts to a person is “what do you do?” The NPC Modifier and NPC Noun combine to name
the NPC.
The second half of the NPC Creator is to form motivations for the NPC. It exists to further
push the boundaries of the NPC. For example, a “fair judge” is a fairly vanilla NPC, but when it
gets the motivation to “persecute old religions” that judge starts getting some nice, rough edges.

0. Determine any pre-conceived facts. If there are any concrete ideas about the NPC that
must remain, now is the time to jot them down.

1. Determine what the NPC is. Roll a d100 (or 2 d10’s with one d10 being the 10’s) to obtain
an NPC Modifier from Table 1. Roll a d100 to obtain an NPC Noun from Table 2. Combine the
two as if forming a simple sentence to describe the NPC. For example if a 21 is rolled followed
by a 45, the combination would read “Inept Actor.” If some facts about the NPC are previously
known, merely use what works and discard what does not.

2. (Optional) Find the NPC Power Level. Determine the randomness level (“R-level”) of
the scene by assigning a numeric value ranging from orderly to chaotic. The R-level can also
represent a difficulty level where the higher the R-level the harder the challenges. Roll a d100 to
determine the NPC’s power level relative to that of the PC’s using Table 3. For example if the R-
level is Disarray and a 76 is rolled, the NPC will be Slightly Stronger than the PC’s.

(Optional) Table 3: NPC Power Level

R-level Much Slightly Comparable Slightly Much
Weaker Weaker Stronger Stronger
Order (1) 1-2 3-10 11-90 91-98 99-100

Chaos (5) 1-12 13-30 31-70 71-88 89-100

3. Determine the NPC’s Motivations. Roll a d100 for an NPC Motivation Verb in Table 4,
and roll a d100 for an NPC Motivation Noun from Table 5. Combine the two as if to form a
simple sentence. Repeat this two more times. If the second or third rolled NPC Motivation
Noun is in the same column as a previously rolled Motivation noun, discard the roll and re-roll.
For example, the first roll is a 24 followed by a 94, giving “Chronicle Animals.” The second
roll is a 60 followed by a 7, giving “Account Opulence.” The final roll is a 21 followed by an 89.
However 89 is in the same column as the previously rolled 94. Therefore that NPC Motivation
Noun must be re-rolled. NPC Motivation Verb rolls never have to be re-rolled based on column.

4. Combine all the terms to create an NPC. The creator should now have a rough sentence
describing the qualities of the NPC. For example: A corrupt recluse, slightly stronger than the
party, guards moderation, abuses pleasure, and communicates prosperity. The next step is to
decide the why or how for each term. The examples that follow will expand on this process.
Having context is the best way to determine how the created sentence will generate an NPC. Try
to link the terms not only to the overall game or setting, but also to the story, campaign,
chronicle, or adventure itself.

 NPC Interaction Emulator
NPC Mood
The NPC Mood module is used to determine the NPC’s mood in the scene. It can be used to
add some twists to the game. If a friendly NPC turns up very guarded to the PC’s all of the
sudden there is likely something going on.
The most important thing to ask when given a surprising roll is “why?” A spy handler that is
“forthcoming” one day and only “sociable” could be explained with personal life, situation of the
mission, etc., but when the spy handler becomes “cautious” around the PC’s, something must be
up.
The NPC Mood module also puts immediate spin on any blander neutral character. A neutral
barkeep being neutral can be rather boring. A barkeep being overly friendly or overly cautious to
the PC’s can flavor the world a bit better. Perhaps there is nothing to it but the PC’s reputation
having already reached the barkeep. Perhaps it’s just the barkeep’s prejudices. Either way the
game gets a tad more colorful.
1. Determine the NPC Relationship to the speaking character. This is the long term
variable between the PC and the NPC. It should rarely change from use to use unless major in-
game effects occur between the NPC and the PC. That is not to say an NPC cannot go from
neutral to hostile in the course of the scene; only that this change should be strongly justified in
game.
2. Determine the NPC Conversation Mood to the speaking character. Roll a d100 to
determine the NPC’s current conversation mood.

NPC Conversation Mood

NPC Importance
This emulator should be used when you have no idea what the NPC will want to talk about. It
gives the NPC’s raison d’être, the actor’s reason for being in the story. This emulator can be
used to help figure out why the NPC appeared, or what purpose that NPC will bring. Instead of
dealing with binary responses using the NPC Response module, you can use the NPC Discussion
module to quickly focus the conversational aspect of the NPC.
1. Determine the NPC Bearing. The NPC Bearing is how the NPC regards the focus of the
discussion. If there are enough facts to do so, choose the demeanor of the NPC from the top of
Table 7. Otherwise roll a d100 or d8 to determine the demeanor. After a demeanor has been
determined, roll a d10 or d100 to find the NPC Bearing using Table 7.

61-70 (7) curiosity history shadows view
71-80 (8) skepticism telling enigma discrimination
81-90 (9) command discourse obscurity assessment
91-100 (10) petition speech conundrum difference

2. Determine the NPC Focus. Roll d100 to find the NPC focus of the conversation using
Table 8. If possible the NPC Focus should be regarded as pertaining to the PC of the player
rolling, the PC that will be speaking, or the party members in general. It may be helpful to put
the word “PC’s” or “your” in front of the NPC Focus if there is a question. It is also helpful to
narrow the NPC Focus. If “last story” was rolled figure out what the last story was. What
happened during the last story that made this NPC want to discuss it?

Table 8: NPC Focus

1-3 current scene 4-6 last story 7-9 equipment
10-12 parents 13-15 history 16-18 retainers
19-21 wealth 22-24 relics 25-27 last action
28-30 skills 31-33 superiors 34-36 fame
37-39 campaign 40-42 future action 43-45 friends
46-48 allies 49-51 last scene 52-54 contacts

82-84 current story 85-87 family 88-90 power
91-93 weapons 94-96 previous scene 97-100 enemy

3. Combine the NPC Bearing and NPC Focus to determine the basis of the NPC
Discussion. The words should be combined as in a simple sentence; for example, “the insane
NPC speaks of madness regarding the PC’s allies.” That sentence will be the substance of what
the NPC will want to discuss.

Appendix II: Rivals (UNE Tutorial)
Every party should have rivals. Not enemies, that’s a give in. No, give the PC group some
good ol’ fashioned competition. Make the Knuckles to your player’s Sonic. The Malfoy to their
Potter. The Pepsi to their Coke. Of course, the PC’s are in a party so make a party of rivals!
Regardless of the size of your player’s PC party, I would start the Rivals off with a party of
three. You can always add more, but three should be enough to give them each a personality to
drive the players up the wall.
Choose any context you want. If you are a GM then make some PC rivals for your RPG
group. If you don’t have any PC’s in mind choose your favorite setting from any medium (comic
book, movie, novel, etc.) and make off-screen rivals for your favorite characters.

Step 1: Grab three notecards or sheets of paper. On each notecard roll up an NPC with the
NPC Creator module.

Step 2: Determine the leader, the second, and the lackey. The leader should be a bit more
powerful than the average of your PC’s. The second should be about the same as the PC’s, and
the lackey should be weaker.

Step 3: Determine their average disposition towards each other by noting the NPC
Conversation Mood from Table 6. This determines on average how helpful they are to each
other, or polite, or condescending, etc.

Step 4: Determine their usual bearing towards the party by rolling Table 7. Table 8 might
help at this point, but a lot of Table 8 focuses on the current events surrounding the PC’s.

Rivals Random Example

The players have created a fairly simple fantasy party with some melee, some thievery, some
wizardry, and some holiness. Here is a completely random rival party created per the instruction
above.

Step 1:
(1) A needy inquisitor who processes science, agonizes disbelief, and guides the populous.
(2) A fickle mercenary who communicates servitude, guards wealth, and reports the
oppressed.
(3) A refined master who executes spirits, works gluttony, and determines deprivation.

The refined master reminds me of a gentlemen torturer. Say if Dracula came up from his
basement of horrors, wiped his bloody hands clean, and then joined his guests for tea. “Executes
spirits” gives him a slight magic bent so I would make him a witch, sorcerer, or necromancer. I
would say he is in complete control of the rivals, and seems to have the uncanny ability to know
what the party is always lacking (“wouldn’t it be helpful if you had more rope”). His name is
Stoker.
The fickle mercenary reminds me of Bronn from The Song of Ice and Fire novel series. He’s
always poking fun at his position of being in service to the refined master, but he does his job
well. He also keeps tabs on the party (“the oppressed”) or possibly the refined master’s slaves or
household. His name is Bronn because I like Bronn.
The needy inquisitor definitely has that Doofenshmirtz feel (Phineas and Ferb). With the
motivations, I would modify inquisitor to some type of scientist instead of an actual NPC with
the Inquisitor class. This NPC is the rivals’ wild card. “Guides the populous” is the hardest
motivation to place, but it is possible that some of his inventions are well known across the land
(much to the PC’s chagrin). His name is Mirz.

Step 2:
I lay out my notecards. They seem apparent in terms of rival party status. The refined master
seems like the leader. The fickle mercenary seems like the second-in-command, and the needy
inquisitor sounds like the lackey.

Step 3:
Stoker is distrustful and cautious around Bronn. He knows that the mercenary could go
find a master with more coin at any time. Stoker is peaceful and helpful to Mirz since he has
the needy scientist wrapped around his finger. Bronn is hostile and cautious towards Mirz
since Mirz is too much of a wildcard for Bronn’s replaceable position. I will stop there and just
say each reciprocates in kind. To add another layer of complexity, Bronn’s attitude towards
Stoker, and so on, could be decided and rolled separately.

Step 4:
Stoker is usually telling (knowing) to the party. I would assume it is usually in a mocking
manner.
Bronn is usually compromising (scheming) to the party. Perhaps he could be ready to switch
allegiances, and is looking for an out. Perhaps he is trying to keep tabs on the PC's.
Mirz is usually chaotic (insane) to the party. I would say of the three he is the least aware
that he is a rival to anybody.

Mouth
NPC Dialog Oracle
By
Desmond Hammond

Magic Mouth NPC Dialog Oracle © 2022 by Desmond Hammond

What the heck is this?
Magic Mouth NPC Chatter Oracle is a tabletop rpg oracle
intended too breath life into your NPC’s during solo and gmless
play, by giving them something interesting to talk about.

Why did you make it?

I created Magic Mouth NPC Chatter Oracle for Lone Wolf Solo
TTRPG Jam Mk 2. NPC’s are one of my favorite parts of running
and playing TTRPG’s and I always found them a bit lacking in
solo play so I thought I’d take a shot at giving them a bit more life.

Step 1 First Impression

When chatting with an NPC for the first time. Get there first
impression of your character by rolling 1d10 and adding the
modifier corresponding to the main social stat of whatever game
system your using and find the result on the impression table
below. This impression will affect the reliability of any information
they give you as well as how quickly they’ll grow too trust you as
you interact with them more in the future.

Roll
Impression
(1d10+mods)
Loathe (-2 to bond level rolls and -1 to
1-2
reliability rolls )
3-5 Mistrust (-1 to bond level rolls)
6-9 Neutral (Flat bond level rolls)
10+ Trust (+1 to bond level rolls)
Step 2 Topic
Next it’s time to decide the topic of conversation. You can either
roll for it on the topic table blow or ask your game master emulator
of choice if the NPC is willing to talk about a particular topic your
interested in.
Roll (1d10) Topics
1-2 Self
3-4 Nearby Danger
5-6 Notable Person
7-8 Noteworthy Location
9-10 Recent Events
1
Step 2.5 Self
This result means the NPC starts talking about there self, either roll
1d10 on the self table or, as in step two feel free too ask them
something specific using your gm emulator too see if there willing
too answer if you’d prefer.
Roll (1d10) Self
1 Skills
2 Needs
3 Wants
4 Goals/Dreams
5 Fears
6 Past
7 Family
8 Hobbies
9 Feelings
10 Interesting Fact
Step 3 Tone
This next step is optional but if you’d like an idea of the tone of
voice the NPC used when speaking too help with interpreting
there statement you can roll on the tone table.

Roll (1d10) Tone

1 Frustratedly
2 Tiredly
3 Happily
4 Sadly
5 Angrily
6 Excitedly
7 Wantonly
8 Distractedly
9 Shyly
10 Wistfully
Step 4 Details
Use your favorite game master emulator or even just a few
randomly generated words too interpret the finer details of the
NPC’s statement.

2
Step 5 Reliability
Roll 1d10 on the reliability table and add any bond modifiers you
have due to your current bond level. (found on the bond modifier
table) This will tell you how reliable the NPC’s information is as a
percentage out of ten. (When in a position too verify if the
information you received is accurate roll 1d10 and refer back too
this percentage.)

*You don’t need too check reliability for self topics.

Roll (1d10+ mods) Reliability

1-2 Scarcely Reliable (1 in 10)
3-7 Somewhat Reliable (5 in 10)
8-9 Likely Truth (8 in 10)

Step 6 Update Bond Level

Positive interaction: After having a significant positive interaction

with an NPC roll 1d4+ your impression modifier (found on the
impression table) and move that NPC’s bond level up that number
of spaces. If you roll 0 or less move up one space.

Negative Interaction: After having a significant negative

interaction with an NPC roll 1d4-Impression modifier (found on
the impression table) and move that NPC’s bond level down that
many spaces. If you roll 0 or less move down one space, (Once
you reach acquaintance tier, you can’t sink below that tier again)
then roll 1d10+social modifier on a roll of 5 or less reduce the
NPC’s impression of your character by one level.

*If when moving up in bond levels you reach Acquaintance tier

and your impression is below neutral increase your impression
with the NPC by one level.

**If when moving up in bond levels you reach either Friend tier, or
Close Friend tier increase your impression with the NPC by one
level.

Author’s Note
Feel free too use this tool in any way you find useful or
fun during your sessions. You don’t need too follow every
step as there presented here.

Bautizando cosas
La forma que elijas para llamar a las cosas en tu ambientación puede tener un gran peso
en la sensación que transmita el mundo, y merece atención antes de que comience la
partida. Un uso coherente y meditado del lenguaje puede contribuir a crear atmósfera
al hilvanar sutilmente los elementos de la campaña entre sí, (tal y como demostró cierto
profesor de Oxford), mientras que nombres genéricos de fantasía sin base lingüística
alguna tienden a provocar el efecto contrario. Podéis ignorar esta reflexión y limitaros
a darle a cada cosa el nombre que creáis conveniente, o tomaros vuestro tiempo para

Descubrimiento
Un Descubrimiento debería ser siempre interesante, conseguirlo es labor del DJ.
El resultado de una tirada es siempre sugerencia para la imaginación (no hecho
consumado), debiendo ser interpretado en términos del entorno y la situación
en la ficción. Lanza 1d12 tres veces, el primer resultado te llevará a una categoría
de descubrimientos, el segundo a una de las tablas dentro de ella y el tercero
concretará qué es en dicha tabla. Es posible que necesites más tiradas, por
ejemplo, cuando este proceso te dice que hay una criatura o magia implicada.
Para ello se te sugieren otras tablas indicadas en mayúsculas.

16 Amorphic Has no shape. Is either a shape shifter or an ooze, or maybe it’s made of water.

17 Plant Is a plant. Could be a tree, a fungus or a field of strange grass.

18 Static Is a creature or an object that’s unmovable for some reason. Could be a sentient altar,
sorcerer bound to stone or some elder being enclosed in an eldritch eidolon.

2. Creature Theme
Roll once. Overlay the result on the General Creature Type in your mind’s eye. Imagine it. Is it enough? Go to
the next step. Something missing? Roll once again and merge the results.

1d20 Theme Description

1 Undead It’s not alive anymore. Brought back by magic or other supernatural means or born this
way. Rotting flesh, missing body parts, decomposed features.
2 Construct Someone or something build this creature. It was constructed from non-biological
matter. This theme gets you as close to the “robot” as you are willing to go. May it be
steam-operated, clockwork or magically animated.

3 Fungus Whatever its basic type, it is either overgrown by fungus, made of it or is controlled by
fungi.

4 Plant Either it’s made entirely of plant matter or has plant-like features.
5 Lizard Cold-blooded, scaly, with sharp teeth and claws, or serpent-like.

6 Fish Amphibian or water-breathing, covered in fins, great swimmer.

7 Mammal Warm-blooded, covered in fur, thick rhino-like carapace or typical humanoid skin.

8 Avian Covered in feathers, can have talons and/or beak. Often winged, but not necessarily
flying (as granted by “Wings” or “Levitation” features).

9 Amphibious Soft, fragile, breathing, constantly wet skin; can survive on land and in water.
10 Insect Compound eyes, antennae, chitinous exoskeleton.

11 Mollusk/Squid Soft bodies, sometimes a shell. Tentacles or primitive slug-like “foot”.

12 Crustacean Eye stalks, carapace, pincers.

13 Celestial It is beautiful and awesome, often quite radiant. Think Marut, Angel, Djinn.
14 Demonic It is hideous or plain terrifying, like if it came from a human nightmare.

15 Alien Impossible in shape, looks like nothing you’ve ever seen. Strange body with strange
limbs and strange joints. Not necessarily symmetric. Think H. R. Giger.

16 Fey Its features remind you of nature and wilderness. Horns, tails, hooves, fangs, furs,
animal or plant-like body parts.
17 Experiment Someone or something conducted a series of experiments, and this creature is a direct
effect of one of them. Artificially created it can either be an idea made flesh, a perfected
version of other creature or a disfigured failure.

18 Eldritch This creature was there before you. And before your race. It existed in another
dimension, on another world or plane of reality. Like Alien, but in a more Lovecraftian
manner.

19 Crystal/Mineral Is a sentient crystal, or it grows crystals from its body. Maybe its bones are made of
glass, maybe it has diamond skin.
20 Hybrid Roll two more times on this table and combine the results. If you roll Hybrid again, roll
once more on this table and combine the result with the ones rolled before.

Mental Faculty
If you know what you want the creature to be, just choose. Otherwise – roll.

1d20 Faculty Description

1-4 Sentient Being Creature is self-sentient, uses language, comes from some kind of society with
developed art, culture and beliefs.

5-8 Instinctual It is driven by basic instincts: to feed and procreate. Cannot comprehend anything
more complicated. Does not use language beyond simple sounds or gestures.

9-10 Smart Animal Like a very smart animal – a trained chimpanzee or family dog. Can learn meaning of
single words.
11-13 Primitive Just above the “Smart Animal” – is able to create art, worship gods and probably
wonders about the meaning of life.

14 Genius A pinnacle of “Sentient Being”. Extremely intelligent. Can learn any language in a
manner of days. Makes precise, complex calculations.

15 Old One It was there before you. Remembers time when your kind was scarce. For it, you are a
temporary state.
16 Alien It’s intelligence and mental faculties are impossible for a human to comprehend. It
does strange things for strange reasons, and you will never know why.

17 Efficient Tool It was created for a single purpose, and that purpose is all it needs. It acts to fulfill its
role as well as it can.

18 Hive-Mind It shares its mind with others of its kind. It’s one creature in many bodies.
19 Trapped/Swapped It hosts a mind of other being: could be a cursed humanoid, a new biological host for a
genius mind, time traveler or a being from another dimension.

20 Godlike The creature’s mind is akin to god’s. It’s (arguably) omniscient and can communicate
with anyone it wants. IF it wants to communicate at all.

Dominating Pigmentation
Roll once or twice (if you want primary and secondary color).

1d12 Color Description

1 Black Jet black, raven black, pitch black, glistening black, dark.

12 Iridescent It changes colors. Roll some more and make it shift through this palette.

6
3. Random Features
Roll, until you are satisfied. Note down the results you like. Try to combine results as often as possible – if you
roll “Stinger” and “Prehensile tongue”, put a stinger on the tip of the tongue and make it one feature.

Whenever you roll something you DON’T like, because it does not “fit” with the creature you imagine, note it
down too, then keep rolling. Maybe you’ll be able to combine it with something else, and then it’ll work. If not –
scratch it. But don’t be afraid to have one feature you think “doesn’t fit” – it will add to the overall weirdness of
the creature. It’s good to surprise yourself from time to time as well.

1d100 Feature Description

1 Bioluminescence Glowing body parts or organs. Color of the light can change or form patterns.
2 Skeletal There are bones protruding through its skin, its head is a bare skull, or the ribcage is
showing. It has skeletal features, even though it isn’t necessarily an undead.

3 Regeneration It regenerates its flesh. Very fast or slowly. Must be burned, dissolved or drowned to
die.

4 Wings Leathery, feathered or anything you’d like. If you want, give it ability to flight.
5 Single Horn Sports a single horn somewhere on its body. Ornamental or disfiguring, this horn
may have function other than just a crude mean of defense.

6 Barbed Skin There are sharp barbs protruding from the creature’s body. Sharp pieces of bone
piercing through skin, thorns, pointy scales or needles. Best not hug.

7 Dangerous Blood For some reason the blood of the creature is dangerous. Could be burning. Maybe it’s
acid. Or poison. Whenever it bleeds it poses a new threat.
8 Additional Limbs Four arms, three legs – it clearly has more appendages than you think it’s supposed
to. How about thirteen-legged spider?

9 Whip-tail A long, whip-like tail. Could be ornamental. Look at it flex… Ow!

10 Tentacles 1d4 tentacles. Can be used to bash, climb, wrap or choke.

11 Many Eyes It has more eyes than it should. Eyes on the back of its head? Eyes all over its body?
Eyes in hidden, disgusting places?

12 Snake Jaw Jaw is split into two parts (like in snakes), allowing to open mouth extremely wide.
Enough to swallow things bigger than its head.
13 Ornamental Creature sports a very standing-out coloration or patterns on skin.

14 Levitation Is able to elegantly hover and fly. It can be a telekinetic power, a spell, an eldritch
equipment or just the way it was born or made. Levitation tends to be more elegant,
sinister and precise but slower than winged flight.

15 Shape Shifter While it has a favorite form (type + theme) it can change shape any way it wants. Just
remember about the law of conservation of mass and you’re good.
16 Prehensile Tongue Useful in some situations. Scary in others. Disturbing on any occasion.

17 Roots Creature can grow root-like appendages that anchor it in place. Can it use them to
feed and sustain itself while rooted is entirely your decision.
18 Singing It sings. Poorly or beautifully, but it does. Should it?

19 Spikes Creature has a lot of small spikes on its body. Spikes can lay “flat” or be retracted, until
the creature needs them.

7
1d100 Feature Description
20 Carapace Sports a natural armor of some kind, scales, plates, bones, shell or fins. Carapace is a
part of the creature.
21 Toxin It produces dangerous toxin in its glands. Poison can paralyze, blind, dissolve, mind-
control, induce sleep or do anything you imagine. How it delivers the poison depends
on its type, theme and other features.

22 Fueled It needs specific kind of fuel to act. Without its fuel it quickly goes dormant. Think of
it as a car. This fuel can be anything you want: oil, fire, tar, blood or piss. The rule
matters.

23 Eye Stalks For a better field of vision and an obvious weak spot.
24 Echolocation It makes sound to listen to it bounce around and that’s how it orients itself. So, no,
being silent is not enough to become invisible to it.

25 Horns Has a pair (or more) of horns.

26 Prehensile Tail Can use it to hang from a tree or choke the life out of you.

27 Humanoid Form If not humanoid, the creature can turn into one. Humanoid form is always the same
one and it mimics the features of the creature’s other form as close as possible
(missing eye, horns, basic color scheme).
If already humanoid, it can turn into other humanoid form (man into woman, weak
magic user into brawny fighter and so on).

28 Photosynthesis It can sustain itself using only sunlight and water.

29 Dangerous Saliva For some reason the saliva of the creature is dangerous. Could be burning. Maybe it’s
acid. Or poison. Whenever it spits it poses a new threat.
30 Wall Crawling For some reason, natural or magical, it can walk on walls and ceilings.

31 Compound Eyes They suck at discerning details but are great for noticing movement. Now you know
why you can’t hit that fly. This creature will be reacting to moves you only started to
think about.
32 Chirping It uses parts of its body to make loud sounds. What for? Mating? Communicating?
Casting spells? Mind controlling?

33 Thermovision It can “see” heat. You decide whether it is the creature’s only type of vision, or can it
see “normally” as well.

34 Armor Is covered in armor, either made especially for it, stolen or repurposed. Unlike the
“Carapace” feature Armor is not part of the creature.
35 Precious Trophy Some part of the creature is worth small fortune. For example, it could be crystal eye,
golden blood, healing liver oil or precious bones or teeth.

36 Invisible It is either constantly invisible or can switch to it on will. This invisibility can be
physical (it stops reflecting light), weird (it’s not registering in human minds) or
magical (a spell). Whatever floats your boat.

37 Stinger It has stinger. Not necessarily on its tail. Remember the platypus.
38 Collar Gills, spikes, cobra hood, bony crest, ornamental collar. There’s something strange
going on with its neck.

39 Telepathic It can read minds and, possibly, communicate telepathically.

40 Armed It uses weapons. If it has hands it can be anything. If not, think about sharp spurs
mounted on combat cock’s legs. Either way, it armed itself, or someone else armed it.

8
1d100 Feature Description
41 Olfactory Smell is the main sense of the creature. It orients itself mostly by smell and probably
Superiority communicates through smell as well. It can sense and discern by smell the type of
creature it’s encountering just as easy as it can sense its emotion or health.
42 Wet It’s wet. Either it just came out of the water or it secrets some kind of fluid constantly.

43 Unholy Strength It is much stronger than it looks.

44 Ignores Gravity Can walk on walls or ceilings with ease, but without any logical reason behind it.

45 Echopraxic Creature tends to mimic or duplicate behavior and speech of others.

46 Beautiful Something about the creature is very aesthetically appealing.

47 Displaced It refracts light in a strange way. May produce image like a broken mirror, seems
dismembered or blurred.

48 Rider/Mount Creature is either a rider or a mount. Pick what fits best. Then, after finishing with
this creature, create the missing companion too.
49 Scent It has a very specific, not unpleasant smell.

50 Telekinetic Can move items with the sheer force of its mind.
51 Remote Seeing Can see distant places or look through the eyes of other creatures.
52 Camouflage Has a natural or magical camouflage. If not moving, it can barely be seen as a threat.
Think if this camouflage is bound to a specific surrounding or is it universal.

53 Shooting Can shoot with solid projectiles – spikes, barbs, bones.

54 Halo A halo hovers around its head. Is it natural? Magical? Mechanical? Is it made of light
or steel thorns?

55 True Rebel The creature sports heavy piercing, tattoos or scarifications. Did it get it by itself, or
did someone do it to them?

56 Burning It burns. Or part of it burns. Or there’s fire inside it.

57 Phasing Can phase through solid matter. Can it phase through air to fly? Who knows. Can it
phase through walls of your bedroom? Surely. Can it clutch your heart phasing
through your chest? Possibly.

58 Stench It has natural odor that will make humans gag and retch and fill their eyes with tears.
While not poisonous, it will be close to unbearable.

59 Trading Creature has something valuable (in its own opinion) and is willing to trade for it.
What does it want in return? Food? Treasure? An errand?
60 Shark Teeth Rows of regenerating, triangle teeth, perfect for cutting meat.

61 Sorcery It can cast spells and has a vast mystical knowledge, much like typical magic user in
your setting.

62 Code It acts accordingly to a bizarre code of honor and will risk life to uphold it. Make sure
the PCs get a general gist of this code.
63 Dismembering It can detach parts of its body. Those body parts move and act on its own in
accordance with the creature’s will.

64 Umbilical Its naturally or magically bound to something. Its parent, its nest, its shell – it can
only act and maneuver in the range its umbilical cord allows.
65 Symbiote The creature is a symbiote. Or some of its features are provided by a symbiote
attached to it.

9
1d100 Feature Description
66 Healing It is prized for its healing abilities. Maybe it can cast healing spells, maybe it can kiss a
wound to make it better or it’s blood will bring people back to life. Who knows.
67 Desirable For some reason decadent humanoids consider this creature to be sexually attractive.
Be it it’s beautiful features, it’s genital structure or a sexual aura – there is a pretty
good reason for this.

68 Pet Owner Creature has a smaller partner, other creature, that act in accordance with it. Roll to
create this creature companion. It has to be smaller than the owner and it can’t serve
as a mount for it. It’s also at least one level dumber than its owner.

69 Egg Laying Kill it! Quickly, before it lays eggs! Or is it too late…?
70 Mask This form is only a mask. The real is something else entirely.

71 Tactile Savant Touch is the main sense of the creature. Everything you can sense using eyes, ears and
smell, it can sense better by using touch.
72 Digesting It’s currently digesting something (or someone). You can still save it. Or it has the
ability to swallow you whole.

73 Blind Either it was born that way, or it was blinded.

74 Mind Control Somehow it can control minds of lesser creatures to do its bidding.
75 Dancing It moves with such an unbelievable grace it’s nearly dancing (as it dismembers you).

76 Contortionist It can twist and bend its body into strange and unnatural positions.
77 Breath Weapon Good old classic breath weapon. Fire breathing, lightning, poison cloud, anything
you’d like.

78 Adaptation This creature can adapt and maybe slightly change its anatomy in response to dangers
it faces. You meet it first time and scare it away with fire? Next time it will be fire-
proof.

79 Spinner It can create threads strong enough to support its body weight. You can decide where
the glands producing this thread are located, and if it’s sticky, sharp or soft.
80 Steaming Flesh of this creature is so hot it’s steaming even in moderate temperatures.

81 Claws Claws can be long or short, retractable or mounted.

82 Satellite There is an object or a small entity orbiting around the creature. Why?
83 Smoke It’s always surrounded by smoke. Is it a humanoid smoking a hookah? A living censer?
Or a salamander breathing out billowing smoke every time it opens its mouth?

84 Dangerous Eyes Its eyes either turn you to stone, cast spells or shoot laser beams.
85 Screaming It can emit a deafening, horrible scream.

86 Burrowing It can easily travel through earth and loose rocks.

87 Bioelectricity It generates an electric field around its body. It can sense other beings disturbing this
field and maybe, like an electric eel, use the field to shock its prey.
88 Lantern It emits light. It’s not a biological kind of light, like with “Bioluminescence” feature.
It’s magical or physical. Maybe a lantern mounted on top of its head, or an open flame
in its chest cavity.

89 Cursed The creature has been cursed. Maybe the curse changed it into what it is now. Or
maybe the curse forces its behavior or its strange appetites.

10
1d100 Feature Description
90 Hibernation It can spend a lot of time in a state of suspended animation. Maybe it wakes up every
666 years to wreak havoc, or maybe it’s currently sleeping and will be quite pissed
when you wake it up.
91 Teleportation Creature has the ability to transport itself anywhere it wants. Decide about the range
and additional rules of this feature.

92 Baiting Creature uses a bait; it can emit human voice asking for help or some body part of it
looks like treasure or a piece of human.

93 Enlightening It possesses a specific skill, or a piece of knowledge and you can learn it too. Will you
have to kill it and inhale its last breath do earn it? Or will it teach you, if you sacrifice
one of your ears for it?
94 Spiritual Creature can summon and / or communicate with the spirits of the dead.

95 Third Eye Creature has an eye on its forehead. Real, painted, tattooed or mounted. The eye is
magical.
96 Shadowbound It’s either nocturnal or literally hurt by any light.

97 Language Creature only uses its own language in communication. If you want to talk to it, you
have to learn it.

98 Shocking It can magically control lightning.

99 Builder It builds structures whenever it has means. It can be building traps, strange
monuments, alien cities or just weird nests for itself.

100 Immortal Creature can’t be killed. Period.

11
4. Finishing Touches
You don’t have to roll on any of these tables. But if you already got a cool creature with interesting features, you
can try adding some more depth to it.

You’ll find a table for Peculiar Circumstances your creature might be in, a Horrifier, to make it somewhat
scarier, a Weirdifier to make it more bizarre and an Attitude Randomizer that will help you set up the creature’s
initial approach to PCs.

Peculiar Circumstances
If you want to make the Creature’s situation a little bit more complicated than it being just a random threat
dwelling in the dungeon, try rolling here:

1d20 Circumstance Description

1 Hunter/Prey It’s either a hunter or a prey. There is another creature, its counterpart, and this hunt is
something that has been going on for some time now. Think of the other creature, use
one you’ve already generated, use an NPC, or roll again to create it.
2 Lucky People believe that seeing one is a blessing for you and your family. No local will ever
tolerate anyone trying to hurt it.

3 Summoned It was summoned here from another place. Who summoned it and why? Does it want to
go home, or does it like it here?

4 Last One Tragically, it’s the last of its kind. There used to be more of them; today only this one
specimen remains. Its death will be like an ending of an age.
5 In Love Do you know the tragic story of King Kong? Well, this creature, whatever it is, just
recently fell deeply and madly in love with someone. It could be one of the PCs or just
some girl or guy. Or a chicken, if you will. It will chase after and “protect” its beloved.

6 Sexist It reacts differently to each sex. It can be aggressive towards women, but friendly towards
men or eat men and protect women.

7 Pregnant The creature is going to have babies soon. Maybe it’s ovipositor is full of eggs to be laid
upon throats of unsuspecting victims, maybe it’s surrounded by parasitic spores, or it’s
just having a nice old hump. It may be extra protective of its soon-to-come offspring, or
maybe it’s looking for a good place to prepare a nest.
8 Unrestrained Creature wants to mate. Now. Anything alive will do. And then the next one. And the
Lust next. If you don’t want to, it will force you to, even if this means killing you before the
mating takes place.
9 Cowardly Its morale is very low. It will run if ever threatened or if it perceives something as
dangerous. This will be sometimes pretty erratic – think of a silly cat.

10 Worshipped There are humanoids who treat this creature as their god.
11 Tragic Something horrible, awful and sad happened to the creature or something it cared for. It
can be angry about it, grieving or weeping openly.

12 Artistic Creature makes or collects some kid of art. It may do this consciously or not.

13 Native Creature is native to this place. It was born here and knows every tiny secret about it.
14 Hurt It was wounded recently. Physically, magically or mentally. It’s weakened.

15 Deceived Someone lied to the creature. Or twisted its nature in some ugly way. Its views on the
current situation are false.

12
 1d20 Circumstance Description
16 Intoxicated It’s drunk, poisoned, sick or on drugs.
17 Vengeful It’s bent on revenge on a race / nation / character class that hurt it in the past.

18 Mad It’s mad. It’s totally bonkers. Bat-shit crazy. It doesn’t think and act rationally.
19 Misunderstood In truth it’s trying to save people. Help them in some way. Or stop something dangerous
from happening. But its actions look threatening.

20 Treacherous In truth it’s a horrible villain, but it is widely perceived as helpful and benevolent. It’s only
waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Horrifier
Want your creature to be scary? Didn’t get what you were after yet? Roll here and add one or more of these
features:

1d12 The Horror Description

1 Disturbing It speaks. But only scary, ominous, horrible, horrible things. It may be repeating last
Speech words of its victims or vocalizing the laments of your yet unborn children.
2 Haunting Whomever slays this creature will be forever haunted by its ominous spirit, slowly driving
him mad or changing him to become its next vessel.

3 Devouring It eats people.

4 Materializing It materializes close to a person that thinks about. Or the one who repeats its name three
times while looking in a mirror. It will show if you draw a symbol on the floor. It becomes
visible only on Tuesdays, after midnight.
5 Contaminating Did it bite you? Touch you? Did you spend time in its presence? You might be
contaminated. Can you feel your stomach cramp? Is there white mark on your flesh where
its hand gripped you? If so, you are doomed.

6 Torturer It feeds of your pain, fear and suffering.

7 Untouchable It can hurt people you love. It can take your dream away. It has something you value more
than life itself. If you ever act against it, you will lose it all.

8 Destiny It will chase you and haunt you forever. It will crawl from under your bed to watch you
sleep at night. It will be observing you from afar. You’ll never be alone for as long as it
lives.

9 Bound If it dies, you die. If it feels good – you feel good. There is a story and a reason behind
these binds and they cannot be cut. Or can they? What atrocities will you commit to get
rid of it?
10 Mistake You were wrong. Everyone was wrong. You’ve killed a beautiful, intelligent, innocent
creature that made this world a better place. You’ve ruined it. How do you feel about it?
11 Oneiric You will have ominous dreams about its presence long before you even meet it.

12 Slaver It wants you alive. And the fate of its slaves is worse than death.

13
Weirdifier
Not weird enough for you? Roll here to get a quick fix:

1d12 Weirdness Description

1 Baby It’s just a baby. Wait till you see the mother.

2 Housed Inside this creature another kind of entities live. They can be mindless parasites, angry
spirits or a whole miniature civilization.

3 Displaced Take this mermaid and put it in the desert. Move this giant underground, force it to crawl
and squeeze through tight corridors. In short - take your creature and put it in the least
natural surroundings.
4 Manifestation In truth this creature does not exist. It’s just a manifestation of someone’s will or dream.
Materialization of a belief or potential. An emanation coming from ancient obelisk.
Destroy the source to destroy the creature.
5 The Head Creature has weird head. It could be an object, head of a different creature, an emanation
of energy, a plant, a body part, a god or a symbol. There is no understandable reason for
it.

6 Timeless It’s a time-traveler. Or a creature living outside of standard concept of time. Or it lives its
life backwards. Maybe it eats time. Maybe time is what it exudes, or radiates?
7 Suggestive No matter it’s shape and nature it has features clearly referencing to human sexuality.

8 Nut Job No matter it’s shape and nature it has a very mundane, human-like job to do, like a tailor,
messenger or a cook. Despite its look it’s also quite well-mannered.

9 Face There’s a living human face somewhere on its body.

10 Strange Diet It eats something absolutely bizarre. Sand, glass, sea water, books, bones, excrements.
This is the only way it can sustain itself.

11 Mirror While it lives only in the reflected world it can still hurt you as long as there is any
Dweller reflective surface around. Do you have to transport to its dimension to hurt it? Or is there
another way?

12 Kin For some reason the creature is your kin. Maybe it is your mutated twin, or your eldritch
offspring conceived when you dabbled with arcane entities? Maybe it was born of your
blood?

14
Attitude Randomizer
If you don’t know how the creature should react to the presence of PCs, try rolling on this one:

1d12 Attitude Description

1 Murdering KILL. EVERYTHING. NOW.

2 Tormenting It wants you to suffer.

3 Aggressive It will attack on sight.

4 Territorial It will attack any trespasser.

5 Defending It is actively defending something: its lair, hoard or young.

6 Arrogant It will ignore you while trying to show its superiority.

7 Ignoring It will deliberately ignore your presence.

8 Oblivious It will act as if you do not exist at all, even if you attack it.

9 Avoiding It will do what it can to avoid meeting you.

10 Stalking It will follow and observe you from shadows.

11 Curious It will follow you and try to observe your behavior in different situations, before it tries to
approach you.

12 Helpful If approached with care, it will try to help you, directly or indirectly.

1. General Dungeon Type
Roll to determine what kind of dungeon it will be. Most of the time indoor dungeons won’t be
influenced by day-night cycle and weather conditions, while outdoor ones rely heavily on these
factors. Feel free to combine two types if you want something exotic; a catacomb mine, where people
mine for petrified corpses already sound like an adventure!

2. Dungeon’s Specifics
Dungeon Origins
Dungeons most often tend to be abandoned places with a past. Roll 3d12 to see who made the
structure that became the dungeon, how he did it and in what purpose.

d12 It was built by… By use of… For the purpose of…
1 Long lost people Powerful magic Gathering a special resource

2 Engineers Slaves Trapping a dangerous creature

3 Magic user Master crafters Creating a dwelling or home

4 Elder creature Strange creatures Burying the dead

5 Fey creatures Natural structures Guarding ancient knowledge

6 An empire Power of the mind Establishing an outpost during a war campaign

7 Monsters Building upon ruins Conducting a series of experiments

8 Legendary hero Powerful artifact Observing and analyzing a local anomaly

9 Nature itself Their timelessness Guarding a treasure

10 Ambitious visionary Advanced machinery Testing the worth of people who enter it
11 Gods or demigods Their own hands Actual prison

12 Aliens Dreams Its actual purpose was lost forever in time

How it Became a Dungeon

If your structure was a lively, bright place before it became an actual dungeon, you can roll d12 to
discern what happened, that changed this place into a dungeon as the players will experience it. Then
consider rolling again, to learn about its last denizens to add traces of more recent past.

d12 It fell because of… And its last denizens were…

1 Hubris of the creators Devolved descendants of the creators
2 Horrible curse Oblivious human settlers

3 Anger of gods Fey creatures

4 Enemy invasion Dangerous monster who made it his lair

5 Powerful monster Hiding outlaws

6 Devastating sickness Restless spirits

7 Abandonment by creators Group of doomed researches

8 The death of its ruler Secretive guild or organization

9 Horribly failed spell Madmen

10 Something that dwelt there before Soldiers who camped here for some time
11 Civil war among factions Reclusive magic users

12 Group of heroes laid waste to it Tribe of creatures using it as a base of operations

Dungeon Heart
Some Dungeons are built around one, very specific room. Let’s call it the dungeon heart. Whatever
can be found there, it will probably be the most important feature of the dungeon. You can use the
heart to build stories or quests around it or have it become a secret, one that resolves behind the
scenes of your game.

This feature can be seen as doubling the “Purpose” part of Dungeon’s Origin. But while the latter
defines Dungeon’s original purpose, the former defines the Dungeon in its current state. For
example: the purpose of building the Mines of Moria could be defined as “gathering a special
resource” (mithril), but it’s “current” Heart (as the Fellowship enters it) would be a “Tomb” of Balin.

d12 Heart Description

1 Many Hearts This dungeon has many hearts instead of one. Smaller rooms, probably, with the same kind
of heart in it. Roll again and ignore 1.
2 Resource A vein of valuable ore, unique fruit, spice, magical herb, fey creature, whose blood is a rare
magical ingredient… Whatever it is, it’s typically extremely rare, but can be found in
abundance here.
3 Vault There is a treasure of immense value hidden inside this vault. What is it? Hoards of gold
coins? A very valuable, single item? Magical artifact? Whatever it is, it’s closed in this vault,
and getting inside it should be a great challenge.

4 Throne For some time, this place was considered a seat of power. Was the power political, magical,
military? This throne symbolizes this power. It doesn’t necessarily have to have any unnatural
features; for some, a symbol can be powerful enough on its own.

5 Lens Someone observed something here. Stars through a gigantic telescope? Strange mutations in
local fauna through a microscope? Future through a magical crystal growing at the crossing of
magical ley-lines? Whatever it was, it could only be observed here.
6 Tomb Someone important is buried here. Is it an ancient tomb, or a fresh grave? Who was it? Why is
he or she famous? Or infamous? Is the tomb scary, eerie, solemn or soothing? Is there
something buried with this person? Something secret…?

7 Actual Heart An actual, beating, fleshy heart. Is it a freakish dungeon denizen, a heart-like fungus, a
magically sustained heart of its creator or some weird and inexplicable magical accident?
What happens when it stops beating?

8 Portal Is it active? Inactive? One way? Two way? Where does it lead to? Or when? Who can come out
of it? Can you see the other side? What’s the cost of transportation? What was it used for?
Who created it and how? What is the meaning of life?

9 Machine This powerful machine produces something extremely potent. An automatic forge maybe? A
golem factory? Whatever it is, learning how to operate this machine may influence the future
of the region.
10 Lore There is a very important piece of knowledge here. Is it written? Spouted from a magical
fountain? A small sect of hermits lives here, waiting for someone to present the lore to? And
what is this secret lore?

11 Event Something important will happen here, when characters reach the Heart. They will witness
something that could change the balance in the land. Someone powerful obtaining even
greater power? An act of vengeance? A prisoner, finally managing to escape?

12 Hybrid Roll 1d10+1 twice on this table and combine the results.

3. Planning the Layout
Get a piece of paper and draw basic layout of your dungeon. Decide how many rooms you’d like. For
every room draw a circle on the paper. Consider using three sizes of the circles representing three
sizes of dungeon rooms: small, big and huge. Connect the rooms with lines – these will be corridors.
Use dotted line for secret passages, and double lines to connect door-to-door rooms. Mark doors
with small dashes. Remember – this is barely a sketch that represent the dungeon on meta level.
Don’t plan too much – try a bit more random approach. And remember that this layout can later
change. Also, mark the dungeon heart as a heart-shape somewhere in your dungeon. It can be a
separate room or part of a bigger room.

Think about general shape of the dungeon. Is it multileveled? If so, consider drawing each level’s
layout on different piece of paper and mark where it connects vertically.

Instead of dividing your dungeon into levels, you can divide it to named, themed sections, like
“commoner quarters” and “inner sanctum”. When designing big, complex dungeons consider
treating each level and/or section as a different dungeon and repeat some rolls for every section/level.
One level can be a mine, other a keep with a tower and garden beside.

Otherwise – keep it as simple and straightforward as possible at this stage. Rolling some features for
the rooms may make you reconsider your layout. If you are new to running games, and your style
isn’t honed yet, you could try noting these simple equations, while planning your dungeon for a game
session:

Small room = ~15 minutes of gameplay

Big room = ~30 minutes of gameplay
Huge room = ~60 minutes of gameplay

Having prepared the simple sketch, you can mark the circles (rooms) with numbers. Corridors, doors
and passages don’t need markings, as you can simply call them “corridor 1-2” or “door 4-5”. We’ll deal
with passages at the very end. Proceed to the next step.

4. Room Features
For every room/circle in your dungeon make a roll on the according Features table.

For small rooms: Roll 1d100 on the Basic Features, and if you think it’s enough, leave it like
that. If you need something more, consider rolling again and mixing the results.

For big rooms: Roll 1d20 on the Advanced Features, or twice on the Basic Features. Again, if
you need an extra kick, roll again on Basic Features and combine.

For huge rooms: Roll 1d10 on the Complex Features, or twice on the Advanced Features. As
always, you can spice things up by rolling additional Basic Features.

Basic Features
Small-scope features, interactions and ideas for encounters.

Get back to these if you’ll want to put more flavor into bigger rooms, as they are less specific.

d100 Feature Description

1 Ambush Something is stalking the shadows, ready to strike upon unaware prey.

2 Chains There are chains hanging here. What were they used for? Is someone currently chained?
3 Armory A stash of armors and weapons.

4 Grate All, or part of the floor in this room is a solid grate. Is it possible to open it? Does it lead to
lower level, or does it keep something dangerous from entering this room? Or maybe it’s a
part of a treacherous fiery trap?

5 Well A well in a dungeon. Source of water, or something else? Is something living at the bottom?
Or can it be used to descend to lower levels?
6 Chandelier A peculiar, big chandelier is hanging here.

7 Portal Magical, transporting portal. Is it active, or inactive? How can it be activated? Where does
it lead? One way, or two way?

8 Pillar A single pillar stands in this room. What could be its purpose? What is it made of?
9 Portcullis One of the doors in the room is in fact a portcullis – a vertically operated grate. One could
easily see what’s on the other side. Can it be lifted? Is there a lever somewhere that operates
it? A chain you can pull?
10 Bedroom Someone’s living here. Or used to.

11 Cell This room, or a part of it, was used to hold someone (or something) prisoner.
12 Fresco Fresco is a painting on a wall or ceiling. What does it depict? What does it do?

15 Guardroom Small room where the original guards of the dungeon used to dwell.
16 Toolshed Tiny space where you can find a crowbar, a pickaxe or other useful stuff.

19 Mosaic You can design a classic puzzle using mosaic that covers the floor or the walls of this room.

chests, hips, knees or ankles.
21 Lode A vein of precious mineral, or a natural stash of other resource can be found here.

22 Altar A table typically used in religious or occult offerings.

23 Deathtrap This room, or part of it, is a trap. It was designed to kill. Think about the nature and the
look of this room. Does it look like deadly place? Or comfy lounge? What’s the nature of the
trap? Invisible, deadly gas? Is it full of scorpions? Spears spring from every surface?
24 Guardian A creature tasked with guarding the whole dungeon or a section of it patiently waits here
for a challenge.

25 Window There is a mysterious window mounted in this room. If it’s underground – what can you
see on the other side? Is it a portal? A monumental stained-glass décor?
26 Storage Room Room filled with generally worthless, weird items. Crates and crates of doorknobs.

27 Plants Plant life is abundant here. Something is growing here. Is it useful? Dangerous?

28 Picture A worthy treasure, a plot device or a magical trap. Either way, someone painted it. What
does it depict?
29 Kitchen Place where you can prepare meals. A fireplace, some tables, maybe chairs. Kitchen tools.

30 Pitfall Floor in this room gives under pressure and you fall. What lies beneath? Was it a planned
trap, or just an effect of decay?

31 Torture Chamber Iron maidens, racks, pillories – you know the drill. Who was tortured here and by whom?
32 Shrine A miniature temple. Small altar, few tiny pews.

33 Food! There is something edible (or drinkable) here. No tricks. Except one: it doesn’t have to be
obvious. How about a lemon tree? It’s funny only when the party is starving.
34 Lock There is an elaborate, complicated lock here. What does it guard? What’s the key?

35 Ice Literally – ice. Or something frozen. Is it natural, or magical in nature?

36 Map There is a map (or maps) in this room. Does it straightforwardly show the layout of the
dungeon, or some distant places? Or is it a map of human body?
37 Workshop A crafter, artificer or engineer used to work here. He could have left something of value
behind. Maybe the workshop can be used to create something? Or maybe the owner still
lives and is working on something new and exciting…

38 Hermit Someone is living here. He chose this place to live in seclusion. Possibly not aggressive.
39 Aquarium There is an aquarium here. It can be a goldfish in a glass bowl, or a huge thing set in one of
the walls. What’s living in it?
40 Clock A mechanical clock-like machine. How big is it? Does it show time, or something else? Is it
active, or does it need winding up? What does it do?

41 Curtain This room is divided by a heavy curtain or curtains. People use curtains to cover something
that shouldn’t be seen… What was its purpose here?
42 Forge Metal items were crafted here. Is it still useful? Does it have any exciting properties?

43 Minibar Bingo! All kinds of liquor can be found here. Some should still be digestible…

9
d100 Feature Description
44 Carpet Typically laid on the floor, to make it fuzzy and warm. Sometimes used to cover something
or in religious purposes. There are also stories of smothering adventurers and a direct line
to hell. All in all, a carpet can be many things.
45 Lounge This place was designed for relaxation. No one said it has to be human kind of relaxation.

46 Fire Something is burning here.

47 Iron Maiden Legendary, historically-inaccurate torture device that no one ever used in real world. What
was it used for in your dungeon?

48 Eye There is an eye somewhere in this room, and it’s watching. Is it carved, painted or is it a
real, grown, organic eye hidden under that old table? Who uses it to spy on this room?

49 Tapestry A woven picture hanged on a wall. What does it depict? What can it do?
50 Monolith A tall, stone or metal, featureless structure stands in this room. Why is it evil?

51 Shop A place, where you can barter or exchange money for objects. Typically, it’ll require a
sentient being to trade with. But with a little bit of imagination you could make it work
without any NPCs. How about a magical vending machine…?

52 Mimic Something here isn’t what it seems… Something dangerous is masking itself as a normal
object in the room.
53 Monitor Using magic or technology you can easily spy on other places and characters from here.

54 Key A key can be found here. Can be ordinary. Can be a phrase repeated by a crow. Can be a
living creature who is the only thing that can open certain door.
55 Hourglass Small one, or as big as the room? What is it filled with? What does it measure? What
happens when you flip it around?
56 Wind You can definitely feel movement of air here. Is there a crevice leading to the surface here,
or is the wind unnatural in origin?

57 Summoning You know the drill: wipe or disturb a line of the circle, and face whatever was bound inside.
Circle But, if empty, you could use it to summon something yourself. This never ended badly.
58 Board Game Either something as simple as a chess board on a table in the corner, or the whole room is
designed like a huge board game, where player characters are the pieces.

59 Astrolabe An astrolabe or an orrery shows positions of planets and celestial bodies. Is it mechanical,
magical, painted? Is it static or moving? What can it do?

60 Trophy Room A display of trophies. Can be elegant or grisly. Is the hunter home, prowling, or long dead?
61 Smoke Room is filled with smoke. Think about its source, look and effects. It doesn’t have to be
thick, black, suffocating trap. Hallucinogenic incense is interesting too. Or a hookah
smoking caterpillars.

62 Fungus Fungi grow here. If you don’t think it’s exciting – go and Google anything about them, then
get back to the Generator. You have one of the most interesting rooms in your dungeon.

63 Waste This room reeks. It’s full of rotting organic material, or dirty trash.
64 Cage Is it a small birdcage, or human-sized? Empty, or full of something nasty?

65 Fireplace Either a remnant of other adventurers, long gone, or an elegant salon with a huge,
elaborate fireplace in one of its walls?
66 Tomb Room where someone dead was buried.

67 Music Music can be heard in this room (and probably surrounding ones). What makes this
pleasant sound?

10
d100 Feature Description
68 Mouth There is a mouth somewhere in this room, and it’s talking. Is it carved, painted or is it a
real, grown, organic mouth hidden behind that old tapestry? What is it talking about?
69 Bridge It’s not much of a room, than a bridge built over a chasm, lava, river or other dangers.
Better not fall. Also, some bridges tend to be guarded.

70 Candle There is a candle or candles here. Something happens when you lit them or put them out.
71 Temptation Something (or someone) sensual dwells here, and its only purpose is to tempt adventurers.

72 Victim You find someone dead here. Analyzing the body (or what’s left of it) you can learn
something useful about the dangers of this dungeon.

73 Boat / Cart This room is a station for a peculiar, dungeon travel system. It can be a system of rails or an
underground river, or some weird tunnels. Either way it can lead to a hidden part of the
dungeon or some distant, other room or rooms.
74 Chest Chests typically hold something of worth, that’s why they excite the adventurers so much.
Exploit it or reward your players with something cool.

75 Laboratory An alchemist, scientist or magic user used to work here. He could have left something of
value behind. Maybe the laboratory can be used to create something? Or maybe the owner
still lives and is working on something new and exciting…

76 Pet A pet lives here. What is it, whom does it belong to and who takes care of it?
77 Fragment of A diary entry, few pages of a chronicle or some words scribbled in blood on the walls. They
History describe important parts of the dungeon history, ancient, or recent.

78 Mirror You don’t have to do anything with it. Players tend to enter a state of real paranoidal
mindfuck when they see one. And if they don’t – make this room a lesson.

79 Cannibal Whatever dwells here, it likes to eat people.

80 Unfinished This room is either a recent addition, or an unfinished and forgotten part of the dungeon.

81 Sauna Not necessarily a real sauna – can be a room with extremely high temperature or one filled
with steam.
82 Instrument A musical instrument of some kind can be found here. Why is it there? What does it do?

83 Gold! Something glitters in the darkness… There is gold, or something just as valuable here –
silver, platinum, electrum etc. The question is, what you’ll have to sacrifice to get it.

84 Time Distortion This room does not follow normal flow of time. Maybe it’s in a stasis? Maybe it travels back
in time? Maybe it’s looped in time, and whatever happens in it happens all over again for
eternity?
85 Celestial There is something calming, soothing and inherently good about this place. Celestials
could be expected to appear here.

86 Demonic There is something unnerving, scary and inherently evil about this place. Demons could be
expected to appear here.

87 Invisible There’s something invisible here. Or someone. Watch your steps.

88 Pit A hole in the ground, leading to a horrible death.

89 Training Room Training dummies, archery targets and other training equipment. Or maybe something
more advanced or magical? A programmable training golem? Illusory enemies to dispatch?
90 Petrificated Someone was petrified here and stands here like a statue. Is there some way to turn this
flesh to stone? What happens when you do?
91 Toilet Could be an elegant room used for grooming, an old, filthy bathroom or just some holes in
the ground filled with something nasty.

11
d100 Feature Description
92 Scriptorium This room was used to record things. Typically – on paper, by scribes. But depending on
the origin of the dungeon it could be wax tables, hieroglyphs or some kind of voice
recordings. Is the scribe still present?
93 Installation This room was designed to display a single piece of art. An installation. Is it any good? Is it
interactive? What does it do? What does it mean? What does it say about human condition?

94 Wardrobe A huge, heavy wardrobe can be found here. I’m not saying it’s a gate to another world,
where there is always winter, but no Christmas, but I’m not saying it doesn’t.

95 Oracle An oracle was located in this room. Was it a person haunted by voices of gods? A fraud? A
talking stone? A whispering tree? Is the oracle still active? What will it say to adventurers?
96 Shifting Room This room travels, or changes. It never stays still for long. It can travel between two parts of
the dungeon, between worlds, past and future, or it can spin, each time locking its door on
different corridors leading out. Anyway, it’s a confusing fun for all.

97 Sky For some reason, sky can be seen from this room. Maybe the ceiling collapsed, or there is a
crack in the rocks, a shaft, a window or some kind of magic working here. Anyway, the
room is influenced by day-night cycle and weather conditions.

98 Guide A creature or a spirit can be found here. In exchange for something very specific, it will
agree to serve as a guide to the dungeon. Is it honest?
99 Haunted A spirit (or spirits) is bound to this room. Could be a poltergeist that can animate objects
within, or a wailing specter of a widowed queen.

100 Display Something very expensive and/or powerful is displayed here. Can it be taken freely?

12
Advanced Features
Medium-scope features, interactions and ideas for encounters. Use for bigger rooms.

d20 Feature Description

1 Baths This room served as baths. There were organized pools of water (or other fluids) here, or
maybe saunas. How about massage parlors? It was used for relaxation or revitalization and
was probably decorated to enhance the aura of peace and relaxation.
2 Lava We all know the drill. Could be a lava waterfall, or lava river, just a pool of lava or an
erupting volcano’s pit. Can it be crossed over? How? Why is the lava here? Was it used for
anything? Did it destroy something? Or maybe it’s long cooled down, trapping something
dangerous inside the black stone…?

3 Temple There used to be a whole temple here. Full with pews, altars and all the necessary
preparation rooms. What or who was worshipped here? What happened to this place? Are
there any worshippers left, or maybe just their spirits?

4 Chasm A great, dark hole in the ground. How far it goes – no one knows. If you drop a coin, you’ll
never hear it land. But maybe something else will hear you instead… Can the chasm be
crossed over, or is it forming a thin ledge, that you are now forced to traverse?
5 Library So much knowledge was held here… Books, scrolls, cannibalistic grimoires, mad poetry,
stone tables, wax voice recordings, kipu pendants, runes, spells, human memories
magically bound to their skulls, mnemonic drugs, brains in jars, last words of dying gods
scribbled on torn sheets of waxy paper… There are so many ways to store knowledge. Is
there any valuable lore left here? Who’s guarding it? And who wants to find it?
6 Run! Something gives, and crash! Slam! Bang! You’re all in a pickle, and you need to run, now!
Run for your lives! Boulders, blades, poison, lava – if you stop to look back, you’re already
dead. Run, and roll, and run again, until you’re out of this room. Fly, you fools!
7 Audience Long hall, tall steps, and huge throne. Whomever held audiences here, liked to feel
Chamber respected. Is the ruler or his remnants here? Is he or she still sitting on the throne? What
will happen when you try to do that…?

8 Submerged A portion of the dungeon is submerged in water. Will you manage to hold your breath long
enough to explore all the drowned rooms, or will you join the undead guardians of these
dungeon depths? And where did all this water come from?
9 Dwelling People used to live here. Maybe not human people, but people nonetheless. Imagine a small
village lost in the dungeon… Who lived here? Are they still around? How will they react to
trespassers? Or maybe they are all long gone. What happened with them? What ended this
place? And what can be found here?
10 Gallery Someone collected art in this room. Whole place is designed to display art. Could be
something as simple as (cursed) paintings, (petrified) statues, (possessed) glass figurines,
or something so strange and alien that it can barely considered art by mere mortals. How
about a collection of time distortions? A full set of otherworldly songs performed by undead
orchestra? Movements of alien stars cast in highly radioactive resin? And will the custodian
allow laymen to marvel at the glory of the Gallery?
11 Faction There are (or were) factions in this place. And one of them uses this room as their base of
operations. Who might that be? A pack of mercenaries? Tomb raiders, lost and desperate?
Prisoners? Mutants? Descendants of the dungeon creators? Or is the faction long gone, and
only traces of their presence can be found here?
12 Lair A dangerous, and probably big monster is using this place as its lair. Is the beast home? If
not, can the players deduct from the marks left by the monster what is it, so they are

13
d20 Feature Description
prepared to face it when it comes back? Can the beast be beaten, or should it be left alone?
Fighting or sneaking through? What if there’s something valuable here…?
13 Ballroom Oh, what parties were held here! What debauchery, what laughs, what good fun! It’s long
gone now, and only traces of the spirits of the attendants twirl in the air, dancing still… The
only question is how haunted this place really is.

14 Vertical The contents of this room are more vertical than horizontal. There might be stairs, a lift, a
dwelling cut in tall stone wall, a huge relief serving as a puzzle, or the gravity might shift
suddenly leaving player characters walking on the wall here. Anyway, there should be a lot
of climbing, and probably a little bit of falling here.

15 Academy Central arena, boards and study helps, rows and rows of pews… Someone taught here.
Someone was taught. What was the topic? Who was the teacher and who were the
students? Is there anything left to learn in this room?
16 Foundry Molten iron flowed here. Masterful hands crafted items here. Lots of chains and heavy
equipment; remnants of the forges that supplied dungeon’s creators’ armies with weapons
and armor. Or maybe the foundry still operates…? Molten metals still flow, masterful hands
still hammer down on ancient anvils…? Who uses this foundry? What exactly was made
here? What dangers lurk in the reddish darkness that fill the many corners of this place?
17 Hoard An adventurer’s dream come true! A pile of treasures! The only problem it presents are the
logistics – just how exactly are you going to transport these riches to civilization? Although,
if you think about it, some other things come to mind… Treasure can be cursed. Treasure
might be treasure only to dungeon creators – what are you going to do with a hoard of
wooden coins? Treasure might be extremely fragile – you’ll need to avoid any rapid
movement to cash it in. Treasure might be alive – a rare creature, or even a person.
18 Tree Huge tree grows here. Does it get any sun? If not, how can it survive in the dungeon? Was it
worshipped, or is it just something that grew on its own, when this place turned to ruin?
Did it overgrow something of importance? Are there fey creatures bound to it? What
strange fruit might it bear?

19 Mess Hall This place was the mess hall, room where whomever used this place used to gather to eat,
drink and interact with each other. Are there any maps here? Windows? Rotten remnants
of food? Any rodents? Dangerous insects? Discarded items or hastily sketched plans of bold
invasion? This place tells a story, you just need to be observant and patient enough to
uncover it.

20 Machine Room Pipes and cogwheels. Hisses, rattles and clinks. This place powered something very
important. What was it? Can the machinery be wound up again? Or is it still working,
forming a dangerous obstacle course? What is the source of energy here?

14
Complex Features
Use these for truly huge dungeon rooms only.

Each of these features could easily become a mini-dungeon of its own.

d10 Feature Description

1 Arena Imagine whole Coliseum lost somewhere in your dungeon. Who fought who on this
arena? What were the rules? What made it unique? Was it later repurposed for some
other activity?

2 Cathedral A huge temple is lost here. Ages ago, people gathered here to worship, prey and make
sacrifices. This place was renowned for being one of the most important places of
worship.
3 City A small city lost somewhere in the dungeon. Was the city part of the original design,
or did someone carve their dwelling inside the dungeon after it fell? Or maybe it’s
currently a camp of refugees, where players could restock and rest before venturing
even deeper into the dungeon?
4 Giant cave This underground cave is a biome of its own. There are plants or fungi growing here,
maybe there’s water nearby? It’s like an underground world of its own, with its hills
and other landmarks. One can only wonder, what dwells in here.

5 Lake Huge, dark, calm, ice cold underground lake. Is there something on the other side? A
tower on an island in the middle of the lake? Or a lost temple under its surface? What
ancient evils might be stirred when you disturb the water…?

6 Theatre Big scene, rows of seats, boxes of props behind curtains. Or an ancient amphitheater.
Hight art was performed here.
7 Nest This huge space serves as a nest for some kind of dangerous creatures. Labyrinthine
corridors hide many threats. Monsters spawn here. Food is carried toward queen’s
chambers, so fresh, it’s kicking and screaming as killer drones drag it along the
organic floors wrapped in a sticky threads.
8 Wasteland Someone is dumping waste here. Over hundreds of years this room was slowly but
inevitably covered with litter. The waste can take many forms: Bones and skulls, paper
scraps, rusted arms and armor, children’s shoes, human (and inhuman) waste. It all
piles up here. Is there some system present that deals with the waste? Something
eating them? Crushing? Burning? Dissolving? Or does it just pile up for eternity? Are
there scavengers present?
9 Tower This room is big enough to fit a tower inside. It could be a stalactite tower, carved
upside-down. Or an ancient wizard’s tower, buried in the rock eons ago.
10 Cemetery Not just an underground tomb. Hundreds and thousands of people were buried here.
Most prominent families might have their own tombs, alleys sprawl between marked
graves of an underground civilization.

5. Doors, Corridors & Passages
To speed up your game, give your players a breather and not overcomplicate your maze, I’d advise to
keep most of your doors and corridors pretty mundane. One curious corridor, one strange door and
one secret passage should be enough for most dungeons.

Doors
When we say “door” it doesn’t have to mean a simple hinged door. It can be a veil, a gate, a sheet of
glass, a living creature blocking the way or a growth of vines obscuring the other side. A door is
something you need to open to enter another room or corridor.

Roll for at least one door in your dungeon. First consider rolling for basic door material/type, and
then the feature. If you like what you find, and it fits your dungeon well, you can always use the same
feature for a set of doors, giving all of them the same feature. A tomb of ancient, vampiric race
featuring dozens of doors that open only if you donate blood makes a lot of sense.

d12 Type Door Description

1 Wooden Talking Everybody hates these bastards. What is it talking about? How can you open it?
Light Do you need to solve a riddle or win a singing contest? Or is it just mumbling
perverse secrets in an ancient language…?

2 Wooden Hard Sadistic This door opens only if you prove you are willing to hurt a living being or
yourself. The key can be something simple, like fresh blood, pain, or a tooth, or
something more horrible: an eye, a finger, a tongue… So many possibilities!
3 Iron Killer It’s pretty obvious for anyone looking at that door, that it’s been booby-trapped
in a truly deadly fashion. Opening it will take cunning, tools, cooperation,
timing and maybe a little bit of magic. Each mistake will end in tragedy.
4 Steel Sacrifice You need to sacrifice something to open the door. Something truly meaningful,
something you like, something you need or something that makes you – you. It
could be a happy memory gone forever, a spell you need to forget, five years of
your life, or a life of your future firstborn. It may seem vague today, but you will
remember this door forever.

5 Stone Locked This door can only be opened by using a very specific key. There is no other way
to force them open. You must find the key.

6 Glass Treasure Part of the door is made of precious material. With some work and a set of tools
it can be removed and taken.
7 Crystal Cursed Everybody passing through this door will be cursed. Only when a very specific
set of rules and/or rituals is followed, the curse can be avoided.

8 Living Plant Confusing This door does not lead where you think it should. Passing through can teleport
you to other side of the dungeon, a remote place or can change how gravity
affects your bodies. Whatever it does to you – it’s confusing.

9 Living Flesh Splitting This door will split your party, not your body. As soon as half of your party goes
through, it instantly closes and locks itself, separating you until you find a way
around them or waste precious time to force them open again.
10 Rusted Stuck Someone or something damaged the door beyond repair, or maybe it just
stopped working ages ago, who knows. Anyway, the only way through this door
is by sheer force. These doors need to be forced open.

16
 d12 Type Door Description
11 Brass Blessed Only noble, honorable or inherently good creatures can pass this gate. The door
might also bestow a blessing upon them. It won’t allow the darkness to pass
through in any form.
12 Filigree Sealed Something harmful lies beyond this door. A monster, spirit, vacuum, strange
gas, magical fire, tons of water. Someone took great pains to seal these doors.
And while it may be quite easy to open them, are you sure you should do it?

Corridors
Corridors connect rooms to each other. Corridors can turn, cross and fork, end with a dead end.
There may be door on each end of a corridor, but sometimes there’s none. Consider making most of
the corridors in your dungeon mundane, leaving the extraordinary for the rooms. If you need
something extra though, roll once or twice on the table below.

d12 Corridor Description

1 Gallery Portraits or pictures hang on walls of this corridor.

2 Nook There is a small, comfortable nook in this corridor. There can be a sofa or a fireplace there.
It’s a good spot to rest for a while or spend the night.
3 Mirrored Hall Mirrors, mirrors everywhere. It’s slightly confusing. And as we all know, mirrors in a
dungeon can often be cursed or have other magical features.

4 Deathtrap Whole length of this corridor is trapped. You need to run and time your dodges perfectly to
survive and reach the other side.

5 Bridge This corridor is in fact a bridge – there are no walls, and a deep, dangerous pit opens under
it. Falling can be extremely dangerous.
6 Deadly Walls As long as you don’t touch the walls of the corridor, you’ll be safe. Walls can be overgrown by
plants that ooze toxins, be made of magical fire or lava, be trapped or cursed.

7 Tapestries A tapestry hangs on the wall through the whole length. Can you decipher the ancient pictures
and writings? What can you learn?

8 Tombs Like in catacombs, there are shallow nooks in the walls where dead people lie.
9 Blockade Something is blocking the way. Rubble, a fire, a big monster or a gelatinous cube. You have
to overcome the blockade to continue forward.

10 Submerged This corridor leads down for a while, and then the rest of it is flooded with water. Can you
hold your breath long enough to reach the other end?
11 Natural This corridor was made by the forces of nature. An earthquake, an underground river, a lava
flow, drilled by roots of a plant that has been long dead now. It’s irregular.
12 Dug This corridor has been dug recently by magic, monster, or a group of intelligent creatures.
It’s a new addition to the dungeon, probably leading in, out, or to a hidden, forgotten
section.

17
Hidden Passages
Secret passages and hidden doors are a constant in a fantasy dungeon. Hard to spot, sometimes even
harder to open, they often lead to secret rooms and bonus content. Let’s make them exciting. I
propose to create one secret passage per every floor/section of your dungeon. Roll on the table below,
to learn how the passage is hidden.

d12 Hidden How? Description

1 Illusion A classic. Part of the wall is illusory, and if you know where to look (or if you check the walls
constantly) you might just notice it.

2 Craft This hidden passage was created by a smart crafter. Press a brick, pull on chain, tilt a book in
a bookcase, and the hidden door opens.

3 Picture The passage is hidden behind an art object. A huge portrait can cover the entrance, or a
tapestry can hide a secret door.
4 Statue Another evergreen. Move the statue and find a passage under or behind it.

5 Teleportation A spell or an enchanted object in this room can transport you to a hidden chamber. But
where, and what might it be?

6 Portal A portal can be summoned here, leading to a hidden passage.

7 Deadly Gate An obvious trap or dangerous object is harmless and actually leads to a hidden passage.

8 Covered The passage is obscured by waste, trash or foliage.

9 Password The secret passage only reveals itself to someone who utters the password nearby.

10 Key The secret passage only reveals itself to someone carrying a very specific, special key.
11 Event The secret passage only reveals itself if a very specific event happens in the dungeon or the
surrounding world (for example: only when the lineage of old kings become extinguished).
12 Time The secret passage only reveals itself at specific time: once every hundred years, only during
night, only during full moon, only for ten minutes each day etc.

18
6. Final Touches
You’ll find two additional tables here, to finish up your dungeon.

Vertical Travel
If your dungeon is multileveled in a vertical sense, mark your connectors on your floor plans. Choose
simple stairs for most of the time and roll on this table if you’ll want something extra. Remember to
decide if your passage is one-way or two-way, especially when it comes to some magical types of
connectors.

d12 Type Description

1 Straight Stairs Simple, straight stairs. If you want to make them more exotic, you could make
them giant or change them into magical or mechanical escalator.

2 Spiral Stairs Like above, but the stairs climb up in circular way. It could be a tight, castle-like
flight of small stairs, where one might feel like losing his footing, or a huge spiral
of stairs with a view.
3 Staircase Straight or spiral stairs interrupted in equal intervals by mezzanines. You could
treat the mezzanines as small rooms if you want.
4 Elevator (Machine) Mechanical elevator of some kind. May be as simple as a platform raised by
pulling a line, or a complicated, steam-punk like monster of a lift.

5 Elevator (Magical) It can take many shapes, but it is operated and powered with magic.
6 Climb Either there was a connector, but it was destroyed, or there never was a passage
here, and only the dungeon’s decay allows changing floors here. Either way, you’ll
need to climb up or descend to get there.
7 Antigravity A column of antigravity field allows smooth travel between dungeon floors.

8 Teleport Instead of connecting levels with physical design, the creators made a series of
teleportation pads around the dungeon. It might be pretty complicated to
understand how they work though.
9 Transport You have to be carried to reach next floor. Huge, trained bats, snakes, spiders,
salamanders, golems or ogres – something will help you travel up or down.

10 Ramp It’s a ramp leading both ways, or a slippery slide leading downward only.

19
Lighting
If your dungeon is a truly strange, magical place, you might consider giving it a specific, magical
lighting system. Remember that light management is an important part of dungeoneering, and
rarely relieve your players by handing them a fully-lighted dungeon.

If you want to create something special, roll three times on the table below (once per each column)
and mix the results.

d12 Type Color Feature

1 Gas Lamps Warm white Self-sustaining
2 Glass Lanterns Cold white Refueled/maintained by a specific creature

3 Torches Yellow Long burned-out

4 Glowing Plants Fiery Orange Off, but can be easily reignited

5 Glowing Creatures Red The light is cursed

6 Electric Rods Blue The light is blessed

(mechanical)
7 Will-o-wisps Green Can be controlled by a magical word/gesture

8 Northern Lights Violet Only turns on when someone’s around

9 Emanates from visitors Pink Changes colors/intensity depending on who is
themselves around

10 Glowing Floor Teal Mimics the day-night cycle

11 Enchanted Roof Ultraviolet Sustained by suffering (torches made of bones of

sacrifices, lanterns filled with tears of slaves etc.)
12 Glowing Runes Shifting Colors Dangerous (can start a huge fire or trigger a
disaster if not treated carefully)

End Note
Hope you got what you wanted. If you liked it, tell your friends about Elegant Fantasy Dungeon
Generator; it’s not like it’s expensive or something.

And if you like how I handled the topic, you might want to check out other products from my Elegant
Fantasy series as soon as they come out. You can already find two of them on DriveThru: An Elegant
Fantasy Creature Generator and the Elegant Fantasy Artifact Generator. Both are PWYW products.

I’m also currently working on a system agnostic, OSR, weird-fantasy style dungeon module. It will be
an over 30 pages long delve into a gigantic vivarium of a visionary botanist, Gustav Galina. Mapped,
and illustrated.

Thanks for getting my book and see you soon!

1. Core City Features
Decide what size you want your city to be: standard or a metropolis. First one will satisfy most of
your campaign needs, as a starting point or a safe haven for player characters between adventures.

Metropolis is a truly huge city that will serve as the main adventure location in your campaign.
Consider dividing your Metropolis into districts and roll separately for each one.

Hallmark
This is it - the first thing that comes to mind, when you hear the name of the city: it’s hallmark. This
one thing that’s specific to this city only. In our world it’s mostly buildings and monuments. New
York’s hallmark would be Statue of Liberty, Paris’ – Eiffel Tower, Rio De Janeiro’s – statue of Christ
the Redeemer. Sometimes it’s something more exotic, like Venetian Canals. In fantasy worlds these
hallmarks can be something truly strange or amazing.

Roll a d100 to randomly determine the specific Hallmark, or choose a basic type you like and roll
within, using the dice specified in type’s name. You can also just pick the one you like the most. And
don’t hesitate to roll again and combine the Hallmarks to create something truly unique.

Weird Laws, Customs and Traditions

Roll a d12 for each column to create an interesting or problematic local laws. Take some time to
interpret odd and peculiar rolls. Make as many strange laws and customs as you want.

“Women will be punished for stealing until they wear specific clothes” sounds strange, but the law
may simply refer to an old tradition of young women wearing magpie masks, who can freely steal
anything they want, as long as they are not caught in the act. Remember: what can’t be easily
explained as a law can be explained as a weird tradition or an obscure custom from ages ago.

(Also, if the rolled rule makes no sense whatsoever, don’t hesitate to just roll again.)

3. Businesses of Renown
Below you’ll find a bunch of tables on specific Inns, Shops and Temples. Roll on as many as you want
and skip whatever seems redundant. Don’t over-clutter your city: remember, that most of the time
your city will still have plenty of “normal” or “typical” businesses. Roll only for a very specific, unique
places.

One peculiar inn, an interesting shop and maybe one temple should suffice for most cities. Unless
you’re creating a sprawling metropolis that will serve as the main adventure location in your
campaign – then you can really go crazy.

Inn
Every inn offers typical services: food and lodging. Roll a d10 only to determine what makes this
specific inn unique.

all kinds of goods .

9 Franchise This shop is a part of bigger business sprawling the whole city, kingdom or even
the whole world.
10 Strange Currency Owner of this shop won’t take your money – they want something else,
something strange, like months of your life, childhood memories or ruby jewels
found only in ancient tombs.

Temple
This temple offers any service you deem necessary. Roll a d10 only to determine what makes this
specific temple unique.

d10 What makes it unique? Description

1 Front This temple is fake – it serves as a front to some other kind of business or
organization, not necessarily benevolent.

4. Additional Unique Business
If you want to have more of interesting locations in this city, consider adding one of these. Roll to
determine its nature and specifics, or choose freely.

Again, if you want to simply add a typical brothel or fighting school – just do it. Roll here only if you
want something unique.

d20 Type Feature Description

1 Masked This brothel is free to attend for all, but you must wear a mask all the time at the risk
of punishment. Masked, relaxed activities allow for the citizens to unwind and break
free from the constrains of their class, at least for some time.
Brothel

races. You decide, if the crew is willing or are they slaves forced into the business.
3 Hazy Whole place is engulfed in a narcotic fog or a spell, that makes visitors witness
strange visions during their activities, or enhance/change the features of the crew.

4 Taboo Whatever happens in this illegal place is probably too weird to describe here.

5 Assassins Run by the best assassins in the world, this small, secluded, secret school will make a
great killer out of you, if you succeed or… You’ll vanish with no trace, if you fail.
Training facility

6 Thespians A famous group of poets and writers dwell in the city, and they are known to take an
apprentice or a couple from time to time, to try and turn them into great masters of
the word.

10 Nomadic The market is only visiting the city periodically, or it’s in constant move, like a
Market

festival procession through the city streets.

by passwords to reach it.

13 Specific culture The museum is devoted to portray the history of one specific culture.

14 Of Modern Art This museum presents strange art that escapes traditional understanding of this

Third method
The third and final method also uses
the tables from the previous page.
Instead of rolling for the climate of

climate of each individual hex. The
“snowflake” method is used here too.

Because this method is more time-

consuming, it is recommended to roll
the climate for each hex first, then the
biome (using the tables p. 4).

Of course, it will most likely lead to

odd situations that may need to be
heavily interpreted. This method is Hex 3:
