Wandering Monsters #
Every once in a while, every dungeon turn (10 minutes or whatever in-game, MAKE THEM FLAT), you can or should (you probably should) roll for a wandering monster to find out what is happening.
Roll a number of dice equal to your current dimension (2 for 2D, 3 for 3D). If you get snake eyes (or mutant enlightened snake eyes, or roll doubles or triples of any value), then something happens. Roll to see what they come across.
