    Hehe, just replied on your other thread, but it is worth mentioning here as well. Doors can be included as part of the base map. There is a minority of GMs that like to have them as separate objects so that they can actually rotate them "open" when the PCs state that they are opening the door but if you aren't going to offer a "door stamp" then I wouldn't worry about it and just put them in.

    What about them? Unless they are going to animate and attack the PCs or disappear from the location they are in, or be moved about they can be made part of the base map.

    I ask because I ran a small dungeon where half the corpses were zombies and half were not... I left them all off.

    I'd generally have dead bodies added to the map separately. I know my players have a distressing habit of using them as improvised weapons, barricades or (on one memorable occasion) food.

    That sounds like a fun dungeon and the right way to go with the dead bodies for the VT.
