Gozzys Dungeon Generator

One of my incredibly nerdy hobbies is playing Dungeons and Dragons (or Pathfinder) with some of my old friends. Playing DnD has been something that I've enjoyed for a number of years now, and I've even tried my hand at running a campaign a few times. Running a game is so drastically different to playing in one. The amount of rules you need to have mostly memorized is significantly higher. You need to have enemies, loot, NPC's, and locations available at a moments notice.

On the note of locations, I discovered an online tool that is quite useful for those of you looking to run a game. Gozzys is a website that has a number of random map creators. It can make dungeons, caves, and general wilderness maps quickly and easily. It has a bunch of settings for you to tweak the size, amount, and spacing of large areas or rooms, the overall size and randomness of the layout, and even the tile set you'd prefer to use.

The Dungeon Generator creates room, hallways, marks the dungeon entrance, and adds in doors locations. Here are a few examples of what the Dungeon Generator can do, using the default settings.




If you need a little help making maps, or just need to shave a little time off your prep (there's a lot to do), feel free to give Gozzys a go.

Toodles!
