Dungeon Generator Table 1: Dungeon Entrance Geomorphs
(Rotate as Desired)
The generator provided below is intended both as a
basic model of dungeon design and also for Maze
Controllers new to the process.
Maze Controllers follow each step methodically and

1 2
systematically. In some instances, the main tables
include subtables that must be consulted. The Maze
Controller records each step on the Dungeon Generator
Worksheet.
At several points, the generator requires the agency

of the Maze Controller to interpret and thematically
connect the results, particularly at the end. Be sure
to have a pencil, a piece of scrap paper, a copy of
the worksheet, and a full set of polyhedral dice when
you begin. Remember, each square on graph paper
represents a 10x10x10 foot space. 3 4
Step 1: Generate Dungeon Geomorphs
Step 1 includes three stages:
A: Roll 1d12 to determine the total number rooms in

the dungeon. Make a numbered list on scrap paper.
B: The entrance is the first room in the dungeon. Roll

1d8 once on Table 1: Dungeon Entrance Geomorph to
determine the shape of the entrance room and record
your result on your numbered list.
C: Next determine the shape of the rest of your dungeon

rooms. For each additional room after the entrance, roll
5 6
1d8 on Table 2: Dungeon Room Geomorphs. Record
the results in order after the entrance room.
Once the Maze Controller determines the total number

of rooms and their shape, s/he then draws each
room on the worksheet graph paper. Rotate the room
geomorphs as desired.
After all the rooms are mapped and numbered on the

graph paper, the Maze Controller must draw hallways
to join the rooms together. For the purpose of the
generator, use 10 foot wide hallways. Maze Controllers
should include as many intersections as possible to 7 8
provide meaningful choices for players.
At the end of the generator, the Maze Controller

may insert a secret door or two (and adjoining
passages) where practicable and appropriate to
the results and themes of the generator. The Maze
Controller may also include interesting features to
the map as desired (see Dungeon Map Features
and Symbols on the preceding page).

Wilderness Hex Maps

In order to create a fantasy hex map, the Maze
Controller will require hex map paper, a pencil, and
polyhedral dice.
Hex maps vary in size and scale. Most regional hex

maps will be 5 miles in width (note that the Maze
Controller can also create small local hex maps for
swamps or forests of any size. A scale of 300 feet for
small local maps works well).
To create a hex map the Maze Controller must create

a list of hex types. The following provides an example:
1d6 Hex Type

1 Grassland
2 Hill (1/2 Movement Rate)
3 Mountain (1/4 Movement Rate)
4 Forest (1/2 Movement Rate)
5 Swamp (1/4 Movement Rate)
6 Maze Controller’s Choice
The Maze Controller then numbers each hex and rolls

1d6 to determine the terrain across the entire map.
The Maze Controller choses where to locate the village

or town the player characters will use as their base of
operations and the location of the dungeon. The MC
also determines the location of any lakes, rivers, or
roads to suit the random geography of the map.
Player Characters can march about 18 miles in an 8-10

hour per day. Using a 5 mile hex map scale, 18 miles
equates to 3.5 hexes. Maze Controllers should keep
this in mind when they position dungeon locations. For
beginner play, locate the first dungeon one hex away
from the base of operations. This will allow players to
travel to the location in about three hours, explore a
dungeon, and return to town before dark.

Similar to the entries for dungeon design, the Maze
Wilderness Hex Map Example Controller can craft random tables for monsters and
unique hexes subject to the level of the player characters
and the themes of the campaign. The tables provides
