Dungeon Overview

A good name can help a dungeon. "Haunt of the Obsidian Knight" or "The Diamond Labyrinth" come from a name. Another dungeon name generator gives the "Flamehammer Catacomb" or "Arcane Cave of the Illuminated Idol". For a cave complex then "The Colorless Caves" or "Stratdover Overhang" are suggestions from this cave name generator.

To find out more a Dungeon Description might help, or a Quick Dungeon with the basics.

Or for somewhere to simply start off the dungeon adventure there is a chart of Dungeon Entrances.

Dungeon Maps

Maps for dungeons is a large topic that will get it's own guide!

Two of my favourites are Gozzy's which produces beautiful maps for both caverns and dungeons.

Dave's Mapper is a tile-based map generator that can handle dungeon, caverns or both at the same time.

Rooms

A crack in the ceiling above the middle of the north wall allows a trickle of water to flow down to the floor. The water pools near the base of the wall, and a rivulet runs along the wall an out into the hall. The water smells fresh.

The above description is from this Dungeon Room Generator, or try one that gives a description combined with other room details at EN World.

Or if you want something to read try a pdf of 50 Random Dungeon Rooms.

Traps and Doors

Every dungeon needs a trap or ten.... Another site had options for traps at Harmless, Moderate or Deadly.

And adventurers love doors. Maybe it is a secret door, a magical portal or a trapped deadly dungeon door (pdf)

For the truly evil GM, you can get a pdf of puzzles...

Dungeon Dressing

To give life to your dungeon use a furniture generator or bodies chart.

And for atmosphere include sounds, some graffiti and a few mystic runes.

Treasure

Dungeons need treasure and the random loot generator is a sophisticated tool (example below).

For more detail try art, artifacts, charms, gems or weapons or books

Bits & Pieces

The Auto Roll Tables (under the Dungeon tab) has all sorts of dungeons and ideas. There are several tables with dungeon dressing from reddit and I have built a 5 Room Dungeon Outline.

Last are pdfs with 50 encounters or the 1st Edition D&D Dungeon Master's Guide with it's 40 year-old dungeon tables
