RT for the weekend: this has practical, step-by-step instructions on how to make a 30-room dungeon. You’ll learn the nitty gritty of writing a dungeon from inception to completion: drawing the map, numbering rooms, monsters, hiding treasure, and putting together notes that you can use at the table.
