[Rob Lang]

When you decide to turn this into a book, may I recommend my .

I wonder if it would be a nice idea to randomise dungeon tiles to give a sense of going somewhere. The size of the level would very much be down to how many tiles you have. The last (say 50th) tile contains the entrance down to the next level. Random tiles might be:

1. Straight corridoor (Check for traps)
2. Bend to the left
3. Bend to the right
4. Small room with a hay mattress in one corner (Locked door) (Roll treasure table -1)
5. Large vaulted crypt filled with coffins (Undead)
... and more

Also I think it would be a good idea to have a goal, perhaps rolled randomly, at the start. The goal would be thing you're trying to achieve. Examples might be.

1. Save the princess (the princess being in one of the rooms after a certain level)
2. Kill D100 Goblins
3. Find treasure thing X
4. Kill big bad guy X
5. Collect D100 x 2 in treasure

And so on.
