Best of the Web - Dave's Maps, Bookmarks, and Random Caves

Dave's Mapper
I've never really liked the examples I've seen because they always create a hodge-podge of maps made from different artists, I have no imagination that way, but Dave's mapper has a button in which you can create a map only by a select artists. Of course they had that feature, I just didn't look. It's pretty awesome. I'm a fan now.

Bookmark Map?
Dungeoneering has an interesting idea in the post Bookmark Dungeon: Shrine of Odolric the Cruel.
A dungeon map on a standard 2"x6" bookmark. In this format you can move the card to wherever you have the appropriate room descriptions.
Instead of having a removable cover with map the way they did it in the old days. I guess any size printout map could work the same way but this seems extra cool to me for some reason although the shape would be a challenge.

Random Cave Maps
Delta's D&D Hotspot has an interesting post called Cave Dice on using 6-sided die to generate simple caves.

I like this as it allows a GM to rapidly create a small cave lair in the wilderness.

I ran across something I thought would help make a slightly larger system. Brialle pips. In most cases the pips indicate  tunnels/corridors but as in Delta's Cave dice a group of four (as in g and q) indicate a chamber.

Roll 1d4 to determine how many braille letters to use, then roll 1d20 that many times to determine which letters.

Table 1: Braille Caves

1d20	Braille Letter
01	a
02	b
03	d
04	e
05	f
06	g
07	h
08	i
09	j
10	l
11	n
12	o
13	p
14	q
15	r
16	s
17	t
18	v
19	w
20	y

Lastly roll 1d4 to determine the vertical connections between the letters:

Table 2: New letter is...

1d4	Above/Same
01	Same level
02	Same level
03	Below
04	Below

And roll 1d4 to determine the nature of any vertical differences:

Table 3: Connection is...

1d4	Above/Same
01	Hole in the floor/roof
02	Drop/cliff
03	Steep but navigable slope
04	Shallow slope
