Offbeat Megadungeon: some procedural dungeon stocking tools

If the only thing that comes out of this project is a bunch of procedures instead of a complete dungeon, then so be it; I hope they find some use.

Dungeon (or Dungeon Region) Purpose

Generator on Perchance

Roll once according to size, then roll once on each smaller size for additional sub-areas

	type of place	small	med	large
1	dwelling	home/hideout	settlement/lair	town/city
2	defense	strategic point/gate	fortification/base/labyrinth	stronghold/castle
3	creation	artisan	workshops	mill/"factory"
4	extraction	rare/weird resource	exploratory mine branch	mining complex
5	storage	vault/tomb/oubliette	crypt/dungeon/archive	prison/library/museum
6	weird	shrine/temple/study/magical experimentation

there are a million generators of this type out there, but I wanted one that was a little less specific, and more interpretive (though the specific results under each size got a little more specific than intended)

Regarding the "Theme" of a dungeon: it should come from within, not  a table

Interpretive Megadungeon Room Type Roll

general space type/intentionality relative to the region's purpose/theme
something that could work even if improv-ing

1-3: A space devoted to/specialized for the region's purpose

• think of a type of room which:

• helps fulfill the region's purpose

• you haven't used recently (or makes sense to have multiple)

• makes at least a sliver of sense to position here, relative to other rooms

• that's what this room's purpose is.

4-5: An interstitial/common area

• if it's large, it's a gathering space

• if it's smaller, it's simple an interstitial/liminal space, or its purpose is long abandoned

6: A space with an unusual purpose

•  one with a purpose other than the region's - roll for a different region purpose

• choose a room type which might make sense to have in a different region (in other words, a type of space vital to that purpose, scaled down, or "self-contained")

Then, if the room is in a faction's turf, apply the faction's actual use over top of the original purpose
Then apply the Room Stocking Roll
Finally, add random adjective inspiration

Megadungeon Rumor Table

when pumping info out of a denizen or inquiring at the dungeon tavern, the party can attempt to guide what kind of info they receive, but they can't determine the exact result.

They pick a topic (Row), then roll for the specifics (column). Roll for specifics as well (which faction, monster, etc)
