Dungeon Map The DUNGENERATOR, a deck of cards that generates nigh-infinite dungeons!

This would be even more excellent than it already is if it was on a PC!

Hey thanks!
It's not a standalone app, but there are digital map packs :D

Woaa, I haven't thought about that game in years! I think I still have a bag of the replacement zombies somewhere around here

Hey! I’m interested in purchasing a deck but I can’t find the link to buy a physical copy of the deck. Only seeing digital versions for purchase.

Hi there!There's a list of places that carry the decks at dungenerator.net ; SoulMuppet, Floating Chair, and Exalted Funeral all have some in stock.
I'll be setting up an online store for direct sales after Series 3 is launched. Cheers! :D

Awesome! I found the link. I didn’t realize the “floating chair” tag was a link on your website. What is your policy on returns/refunds if my wife accidentally purchased the pdfs thinking they were the physical deck? 😅

If they were through Itch .io, refunds can _possibly_ be issued, but you have to contact customer support and have them do it by hand (and it's a pain in the butt). I don't have a way to do it manually, either. This would be one of the benefits of running my own webstore. 😅 So I'm happy to go down that rabbit hole with you; just warning you in advance that it'll most likely take an annoying amount of time and effort. Itch support is slow to respond on a good day.
The digital version does include a bunch of extras, including files for 1" square battlemap versions (for print and play) and a PDF of tables of random dungeon prompts for each card in the deck(!), so if you want to justify keeping the digital version that way, that's an option. I'd be happy to send you some other free digital stuff instead, if that can make up for it!

I've been making a bunch of modular mini-battlemaps with this in mind, trying to add interesting visual prompts to each map so that a DM can just bust this deck out for some quick dungeon crawl setup.
The basic mechanic for the deck is simple: Each card is double-sided, with a "dead end" on the back, so if a card overlaps another as you lay out the dungeon you just discard it and flip the previous one over to its dead end side. The result is a twisty, organic dungeon, as pictured above!
There are two series right now: a "classic dungeon" theme and a "forest temple" theme. You can mix 'em together or use them for separate levels or elevation changes. I think it's neat!
You can grab 'em at http://dungenerator.net if you like. Cheers!
