What would you suggest for Monsters? How to generate Monsters from a sentence? Perhaps capitalized names of people, places and things could be the marker for Monsters, and perhaps a simple table using the first letter of the word and the number of letters up to 5 to determine the type of monster? That would be a matrix of 24 by 5 which would provide quite a lot of monsters. Perhaps even treat vowels differently than consonants?
Gonna combine this, the noun suggestion in the other comment, ARSINO or your dice roller bookmark(unsure which yet), the One Page Solo Engine dungeon details, my homebrew ultra-ultralite rpg and wargame both, various books, and some of the principles of Berlin Roguelikes into a analogue roguelike in a dot grid journal. I'll run all kinds of characters through these dungeons, from death knights to mansect soldiers to water mages to dragons to "0 level" peasants who are oddly lucky. No matter the size, it fits on one unit of space, of course(which I am quadrulpling the square per letter ratio. One letter square is 4 sqaures in a square, so I have room for combat.) Sorry if this comes off a rant I'm just excited lmao.
I've been having some fun with this. Seems you could take it further if you wanted. I was thinking: verbs are traps and nouns are encounters but idk for sure

Also, I just thought that this would go perfectly with using https://dungeonscrawl.com/ for online play.

This is great. Very neat and clever

Thank you. And I’ve been kicking around how to add some more to it after the jam and that’s a fantastic approach!
