I stumbled onto Odd Artworks’ Random Mini Dungeon video series via the algorithm. He rolls against a dice table to generate a theme and requirements and starts drawing an isomorphic dungeon on a single sheet of paper. It’s almost like a Solo-RPG meets Inktober mashup activity.
The process is straight forward: roll dice, spend an hour to an afternoon drawing the dungeon, scan it, add three layers of gray tones for shading, add color, then add glowing effects. All wrapped up in a “Draw and Talk” format, it makes for a nice predictable ASMR formula. He then collects all the dungeons and goblins he draws and puts them in a stapled zine.

The cartoony style is adorable and reminds me a bit of Kyle Ferrin from Leder Games’s style, who I’m fond of because I got to play DnD with Kyle once. Generating dungeons this way could be a great way to create one-shot mini-dungeons for your campaign (doubly-so if you run a campaign for kids). As a bonus you could surprise players at the end with a little artwork to remember the campaign.
Anyways, I think it’s great and adds positive vibes into the world. You can buy Odd Artwork’s zines his website: https://www.oddartworks.com/
