What it is about
Well, playing cards are great since they hold a lot of information, and this one pager uses number, suit, and the shape of the number in a fast system for generating a small array of random dungeon rooms and corridors. It uses a standard deck of cards and graph pape r. Each little dungeon can be connected to another. It would be useful for Dungeon23, 24, 25 and many other challenges. There are additional 'rules' for sparking creature, hazards, and treasures, as well as variants for squeezing more specificity out of the deal. The system gives you a sketch or shorthand for a half-dozen rooms, direction but not a lot of detail. You should flavor your Dungeon your way! (And there are hundreds of popular and complex systems out there). There are two files: A 1 page .pdf An epub version I may add an example page in the future, or have some over on my blog. Note: There are a few possible card arrays that result in only corridors or otherwise oddball results. Adjust as needed! If you like this, check out the sudoku based Your Little Dungeon Generator
