Main Topic: What do we want from a Dungeon?

We used Dungeons by Central Casting to inspire the creation of a dungeon
(Thanks to Ryan David @nerdcognito and Max @legion of myth for the suggestion)

From both player and DM perspective, what makes for a good dungeon?

1. Even with a Mad God, how random/funhouse before it loses its verisimilitude?
2. Random monsters: many? few? with a theme?
3. Traps and tricks: many? few?
4. Mega?
5. Past dungeon experience: successes/failures
6. Mapping the dungeon - details or broad strokes
7. Flavor text: more or less?
8. How do they fit in the campaign world?
9. Using Central Casting: Dungeon - not sure it’s my cup of tea
