The Randomnomicon and making random OSR rulesets

Thanks to a post by Jens D https://the-disoriented-ranger.blogspot.com/2023/01/lots-of-ducks-no-row-and-gallery-of.html I noticed mention of a game being designed called the above, which sounds like fun.

Last month Marcia at Traverse Fantasy did some cluster analysis of OSR type rulesets.

People asked about where others fit in.

Idle thought is that with CC and other open licensed games – those that are adjacent you could slice up into the relevant sections – and randomly roll for each.

A function could even feed the classification into Marcia’s breakdown of rulesets as above to get ‘synthetic’ data for said clusters.

The 1000 Dungeon Project

Thanks to the AD&D Random Dungeon Generator I wrote https://github.com/bluetyson/ADnD1e-Random-Dungeon-Generator, I can parallelise, so doing this only takes less than a minute.

The basic random walk theory these talk is ‘Ahead’ is the y positive direction and always follow exits – e.g. stairs down (and can go up sometimes too).

The first 1000 dungeons I have done with 10 Periodic Checks as the DMG table calls them. e.g. a roll on the main table.

Here’s a summary :-

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kpZhtAO4cLtyLnh6bCCRVdigOL8jbjAFJ6CFyEZ2cX8/edit?usp=sharing

Here you can have the situation if you find an empy room it can have secret doors – beyond which are more rooms, which can have secret doors if empty – I have it so it follows that stack down, then goes back – e.g. Rooms are the interesting thing.

So with 10 checks, a couple of rooms is likely.

In fact, here are the medians for this batch of 1000:

monster_xp                            0.0
wm_xp                                 0.0
monster_total                         0.0
wm_total                              0.0
traps                                 1.0
rooms                                 2.0
total_treasure_copper                 0.0
total_treasure_silver                 0.0
total_treasure_electrum               0.0

wm_total_treasure_magic               0.0

Magic                                 0.0
Total Gold Equivalent                21.5
x                                    13.0
y                                    16.0
z                                     1.0

Median room size is 13 by 16 – y dimensions are likely to be bigger.

So if we call a median room an exemplar, let’s have a look:

Selecting all the 13 by 16 the medians:
monster_xp                            0.0

rooms                                 3.5
total_treasure_copper                 0.0

Magic                                 0.0

z                                     2.0
Periodic Checks                      10.0

So these are therefore likely to have an exit to level 2 – [z = 2]

AD&D 1e Random Dungeon Generator Binder

So you can run this in a browser:

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/bluetyson/ADnD1e-Random-Dungeon-Generator/HEAD

click the above to fire up a web container environment that lets you run this in your browser
you get jupyterlab, just click on the terminal link at the lower left and then type ‘python dungeon.py 1’ [or however many rolls as you like] and the files created will also be in the main directory, one for each dungeon level.
