Same Man I Was Before

Geomorphic dungeon tutorial

Geomorphs are essentially little bits of dungeon that fit together in any orientation, and they're probably one of the most fun things I've ever messed around with when it comes to TTRPG mapping.

They're great to make when the blank page seems too intimidatong because a little 10x10 bit of a dungeon is a smaller commitment than a full dungeon, you can make them in a couple minutes, and if you get into the habit of drawing one or two every once in a while you'll soon build up a big library you can use to make dungeons of any size.

So here's how to make 'em.

Draw a 10 by 10 square. Place entrances on the 3rd and 8th square of every side

(You can actually do any size as long as all entrances are the same distance from the corner)

Draw a bit of a dungeon however you want. Not all entrances need to be accessible from each other, some can even be dead ends.

Optionally, draw some 5x10 and 5x5 ones to close off edges and corners.

Draw a lot of them

When you have a full page, cut them

(I store mine in ziploc bags to avoid losing them)

Assemble them! If you placed the entrances correctly, they should fit together no matter how you place them or rotate them.

You can ever stagger them like bricks

Then, transfer it to a more permanent medium (redraw it or just take a picture)

Here are some more examples of dungeons I've made using my geomorph set:

Everyone suddenly remembers their past lives. You’re doing everything you can to lie about who you were before. “just a common life, honestly boring.”- probably the biggest lie of the century.

A low stone chair that, if I’m understanding Anglo-Saxon law correctly, made it illegal to attack or arrest anyone sitting in it.
