• Newbie GM here

  For dungeons I find a random map, using Donjon if I don't find one that matches better, build and clutterify it in Dungeondraft, then import it to Foundry. I figure out the general types of monsters they'll face there (these are ancient ruined labs, the monsters are mostly ethereal undead, abberations, and some constructs and elementals) then I sort through AoN for a while picking out interesting looking beasties...
