Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Monster Clustering

A few years ago I looked at this, have found it again, so here’s a start.

Not, many mess categories as you know, but here’s a plot from 2 that will fit on a screen.

Vermin and plants, some animals and common humanoids and your garden variety monstrous humanoids when you lump it at this very joined together level.

Kmodes method, just have to find where I put that part.

Welsh Piper hex map algorithm – Python

In relation to HexDescribe and TextMapper – the random or Smale algorithm is the Welsh Piper’s. https://welshpiper.com/hex-based-campaign-design-part-1/

There’s a follow on part linked for stocking hexes.

I translated this to python – partly as a ChatGPT exercise.

https://github.com/bluetyson/Dungeon23-Mokuy/blob/main/smale.py

Where I did a few tweaks of the Primary and Secondary maps for the gnomeyland style based on the terrains I have put in Mokuy for HexDescribe.

Here’s the TextMapper map https://github.com/bluetyson/Dungeon23-Mokuy/blob/main/mokuy1.txt

and the HexDescribe tables so far – lengthy project the latter https://github.com/bluetyson/Dungeon23-Mokuy/blob/main/mokuytables.txt

I need a ship and ship crew generator, speaking of such things (and/or ChatGPT).

A fun random first level

If you go the wrong way at the entrance, hidden pit trap.

If you can find a way across a yawning chasm, there are monsters working down the end of a long dark passage – you might choose the right way and bonus easy platinum.

Dungeon23 – The Land Pirahnas of Lord Howe Island

In 2044, wallabies have mutated to have the personality and dentition of sharks and “land pirahna is a colloquial term.

Lord Howe Island was discovered in 1788. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Howe_Island

The Doctors Ruby have taken advantage of this wildlife mutation to import and breed them to roam the island. Not good for the local fauna, but they soon deal with any unsuspecting visitors in an environmentally friendly manner.

Land Pirahnas are particularly good at detecting methane.

First thoughts:

AC 12, HD 2, Bite: 2d4, Kick: 1d4, Tail:1d3

Can use claws for minor effect or tails like cudgels if wanting to leap away, which is not very likely in a kill frenzy. Add morale modifiers for that.
