Generating maps
The tool supports importing generated maps - if you’re stuck for ideas, or have “Cartographer’s block” you can generate a starting point then edit it to your heart’s content.
To get started, click the button with the 4 dots on the left.
One Page Dungeon | Watabou
- Click the “Import One Page Dungeon” card in the 4-dot menu
- Press
Enterto generate a new dungeon - The full list of keyboard shortcuts are available here
- When you’re happy with the dungeon, right click and “Export as JSON”
- Drag this file into the Dungeon Scrawl import box
Make sure a layer is selected! This is the layer the map will be imported into
Here’s an example:
5e Random Dungeon | Donjon
- Click the “Import 5e Random Dungeon” card in the 4-dot menu
- Modify the settings as you like, then scroll to the bottom and click “Construct Dungeon”
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the next page (it’s a long way), then click “Download → JSON”
- This was “TSV” in Dungeon Scrawl V1, but that format is deprecated now
- Drag the JSON file into the import box in Dungeon Scrawl
The import can take a little while if the dungeon is large
There are some known issues with the import currently - polymorph rooms don’t work, and sometimes the corridors won’t be correct
Here’s an example:
