Dungeon Room & Encounter Generator

Making new dungeons and rooms on the fly can be a challenge. Sometimes players move on quickly from a place you assumed they’d be for the rest of the session, while others they just refuse to follow the plot crumbs you’ve sprinkled, and now you need an entirely new setting for them to stumble into. And that’s exactly what the dungeon generator is for.

Dungeon Room & Encounter Generator is a system-agnostic tabletop roleplaying supplement designed to help Game Masters create dungeon rooms on the fly. Using a series of simple dice tables, it allows GMs to quickly generate a room’s purpose, layout, environmental features, hazards, occupants, and rewards in under a minute.

The generators emphasize flexibility, pacing, and narrative coherence, making the supplement suitable for any fantasy RPG system. Ideal for emergency preparation, sandbox play, or expanding dungeons dynamically during live sessions.

The Sap-Vein Weaver

This creepy encounter for first-level adventurers will bring your players to an ancient forest that seems hungry for blood. You’ll have to navigate this sap-covered nightmare to figure out what pact created this curse, and how to stop it.

“The forest doesn’t just grow… it hungry.”

Deep within the shifting roots of the ancient woods lies a secret that the village of Thornbarrow has kept for generations. A pact made in desperation has curdled into a nightmare of wood, amber sap, and suffocating cocoons. The Sap-Vein Weaver is a ready-to-play tactical encounter designed for 1st-level characters. It’s perfect for a one-shot or as a chilling side-quest for any 5th Edition campaign.

Spectacular Shops & Services

Give your shops a little more personality and make them into plot-relevant locations. If you want your players to get more out of a shop than just their stuff, and to remember the people who work there, this supplement will give you all of the tools you need to take your shops from copy-and-paste to unique places your players will remember.

Tired of your players treating every shop visit like a boring video game menu? Stop the “I buy 50 feet of rope” and “I check for healing potions” grind. Phaylen Presents: Spectacular Shops & Services is a comprehensive 112-page digital toolkit designed to reinvent the way commerce works in your 5E D&D world.

This isn’t just a list of items and prices—it’s a collection of 21 meticulously crafted businesses that transform mundane errands into the highlights of your campaign. Each location serves as a plot-driving hub, ready to be dropped into any town, city, or even a deep dungeon crawl.

The Skullmaster of Woodscross

This one-shot brings your players through a five-room dungeon where things get weirder and weirder as the stakes get higher and higher. They’ll fight new monsters, find new items and weapons, and have many questions by the end.

A 5-room dungeon that starts out as a standard undead uprising storyline, but ends with a horrible abomination of science! It includes:

– 3 Monster Statblocks
– 1 New Weapon Mastery
– 1 New Weapon
– 1 New Magic Item

The Cogs of Lost Time

Take your players on an adventure through time and space to find corrupted artifacts and stop their negative influence on the universe. This is part of a series, but plays just as well as a one-shot.

*Contains AI-Generated Content

The Cogs of Lost Time, written for 4 fourth level characters, can be played alone (a set-up is provided to play as a stand-alone adventure for newly-arrived PCs) or as the fourth adventure in a series of adventures that make up the About Time campaign arc.

The previous adventure ended with our heroes learning that there are several corrupted artifacts scattered throughout time and space. If they are not found and cleansed of their corrupting influence they will eventually cause the end of all that is lawful and good in the universe. They received a vital clue as to the identity and location of one. The Chronometer of Harmony resides within the lawful Clockwork Realm.

They are going there now. The fate of the future rests on their shoulders.
