Dungeon “cards” ?
Is anyone aware of a deck of “cards” that can be randomly drawn to construct dungeon passages and rooms? They would almost be like “geomorph cards,” but appropriate sized for use with miniatures? If you have used something of this nature, any feedback would be great. I’m envisioning laying out random dungeons for my son and me, randomly populating areas with encounters and resolving those encounters with very simple dice rules of my own creation.
Might be something I have to make myself, but don’t want to reinvent the wheel if I can help it.

Re: Dungeon “cards” ?
I thought there was a kickstarter for something like this back in the halcyon days of 2012-ish.
Or maybe it was just the dice and I'm conflating the two.

They are playing cards, d20, d6, d%, and geomorphs, all in one.

Looks like that inked adventures site sells something similar, at least in PDF:

Re: Dungeon “cards” ?
All very helpful, folks! Lot of ideas in there. I may buy a few different things and use them to make my own set - might not be as hard as I thought after seeing a few examples.

The dungeonmorph dice KS created geos using the same images, but they're not minis sized: http://dungeonmorphs.com/
Heritage, Task Force, Chaosium, GW, and others all created 25mm sized dungeon tiles for use with minis:
- Heritage Dungeon Dwellers line had both the tiles (which I can't find a reference for yet), and their two classic paint n play sets: Caverns of Doom and Crypt of the Sorcerer @ http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lost ... 7Play_Sets
- GW Dungeon Floor Plans @ http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=493 and three other sets too (see https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=% ... 2&_sacat=0)
- Task Force Games' Dungeon Tiles @ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=% ... n&_sacat=0
- KABAL had its Dungeon Floor Modules @ http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2521
- Chaosium had its Fantasy Paths @ http://diffworlds.com/fantasy_paths.htm
Semi-relatedly:
- The Companions published extensive and large maps designed for use with 25mm minis with several of their modules: http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=119
- MPC also had two sets of plastic-molded dungeon environs @ http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lost ... ion_Scenes
There were probably several others in a similar vein too.

Re: Dungeon “cards” ?
Super helpful! Thanks Allan. I may be able to mix-and-match these with my HeroQuest board (which I just remembere I had) to create something sufficient.

Re: Dungeon “cards” ?
Have you taken a look at Dave's Mapper? It is an online geomorph-based map generator I have gotten some use out of (obvious style and quality differences between the contributors, but the results tend towards the good). You could save a bunch of them, then have them printed/laminated for table use.
"D&D is the ultimate right wing wet dream. A bunch of guys who are better than your average joe set out into the middle of nowhere where they murder and kill everything they come across in order to stockpile gold and elaborate magical bling. There are no taxes, no state and any poor people that get in your way get their village burned to the ground. It's like Ayn Rand on PCP." - Mr. Analytical
Re: Dungeon “cards” ?
Thanks, Melan. I will check it out.
