Microblog: Zodiac Constellations in Bite-Sized Dungeons

Marcia at Traverse Fantasy had the idea of bite-sized dungeons--six room layouts that contain a normalized array of the types of rooms you can get in procedural generation in B/X. 

Here's a twist: What if the dungeon maps were constructed of geomorphs based on the zodiac constellations?

What is a constellation but a series of nodes and lines?
What is a dungeon but the same?


As a quick proof of concept, I mocked up a dungeon by combining Leo, Libra, and Aries nodes. It doesn't look bad! I can imagine stating up this little dungeon with an afternoon of work.



Just an idea! One might use it to either do themed dungeons, or just mock up little weird paths and avenues in a lair.
