I’ve just released the first version of a Dungeons and Dragons Map Tile Generator. It lets you pick a board size, number and size of doors and a number of spaces to remove from the grid. It will then generate a random board within these parameters.
It’s brand new, so can generate some strange and useless boards, but if it does that, just create another, until you get something useful. I’ve found that leaving the settings on random will generate a cool tile about once in every 10-15 attempts.
I’ve only tested in Firefox so far, please let me know if you have any problems, I’ll be improving this as time goes on, and I’ll prioritise feedback suggestions to give me somewhere to target my efforts.
Don’t forget to check out my other DnD resources for characters, scenarios and other ideas for use in your games.

The drop-down menus and “generate” button don’t work for me, but if I hit F5 it regenerates a tile for me using whatever the default settings are. I am using Firefox 3.0.15
I’m looking for something like this generator, but I need it to drop in dungeon features such as furniture, ponds, statues, difficult terrain, etc, so that it’s ready to go straight into an encounter.

Hmmm, there were definitely a few problems. I think I’ve corrected them now, so you can play with the available options.
Thanks for letting me know about this, please let me know if you encounter any further issues.
I’m looking at ways of including other items, such as furniture and obstacles. I’d like to keep generating random layouts, so I’ll see what I can do to add stuff in that vein.
