Bob suggested I'd get these "random dungeon dice" for making maps. I ordered a set and they arrived yesterday. I made my first dungeon level map with them today. It is certainly faster and easier than Gygax's "Random Dungeon Generator" from the back of the 1st edition AD&D DMG. There's no jumping around tables, flipping from page to page and all that jazz;. just roll your dice, mark it down. Since there's no actual grid on the dice, you have to eyeball everything, so it is a little hard to get it exact when transferring to paper. It takes about 8 die rolls to fill up a sheet of graph paper, although you might be able to fit 12 if you were really inclined to.
It would be pretty useful for making up dungeons on the fly if we wanted to do some Judge-free sessions sometime. All in all a good purchase.
Hurray! I was hoping you'd like them. Too bad the other sets were sold out.
