Starting Points

Dungeons are where it all started for rpgs with dungeon delving being the focus of early Dungeons and Dragons.

They still form a large part of many games, from ruined dwarven cities to haunted mines, fungi filled caves and sprawling tomb complexes.

Also of interest will be the Random Tools Guide for Dungeons. And just as important is a Guide to Dungeon Map Generators. Finally for more PDF titles try Random Table Titles for Fantasy.

Sept 2025: Added titles, cards section; Aug 2024: Added more titles, added ruins section. Dec 2023: Added more titles.

Dungeon Tools and Generators

Maze of the Destroyed Witch. Point of the Secret Serpent. The Voiceless Cells. The Bellowing Tombs. .

...from Dungeon Name Generator at Fantasy Name Generators

A good name can help or hinder a dungeon in the same way as it can a character. If it's a cave complex then "The Colorless Caves" or "Stratdover Overhang" are suggestions from the related cave name generator.

DNGNGEN creates a dark fantasy dungeon overview, meant for Mork Borg but works for most fantasy dungeons! Magical Gurll has the opposite vibe, and includes a Fantasy Dungeon Adventure brief description.

I've written some random tables for 5-room dungeons here on Rand Roll.

"There is a magical ward in front of the character. Before they trigger it, they might notice the faintest of odors left by the painting of the glyph. Once activated, the magical ward will conjure 5 poisoned arrows to fire at the character."

...from Dungeon Trap Generator at 5thDnD.com

Try one trap from OMGM, which has settings for purpose and level (D&D) or ten at once from donjon.

100 Riddles and their answers from DnD Speak gives a different type of challenge.

For doors I made a simple Dungeon Door generator I made at Chartopia. There are 100 Interesting Dungeon Doors at DnDSpeak. We have a secret doors from donjon. You might like a special key for the door from Springhole too.

For dungeon dressing start with 100 Dungeon Dressings at DnDSpeak. Which also has 100 Interesting Statue Descriptions and Dailed Graffiti

Rooms and caverns need things to interact with, such as the Dungeon Object at Chartopia. So try a bodies chart from the Dungeon Dozen.

Auto Roll Tables (under the Dungeon tab) has all sorts of dungeons and ideas. There are several tables with dungeon dressing at r/DnDBehindTheScreen on Reddit. And something to put on any surface try some graffiti from donjon.
