Today is the start of the new(ish) Chunk series, what used to be called Campaign Chunks and RIGS are now combined into one and their options expanded. Will be covering different genres on each Wednesday and Thursday, with Wednesday being Fantasy/Medieval and Thursday being SciFi/Modern. Each post type will be marked with an appropriate [tag] to make searching easier and to show you at a glance what the Chunk covers. Each tag will have their own modified format but will typical follow the same base outline structure with intro/flavour text, rough mechanical details about the subject matter and text explaining or going over the subject.

A Chunk of Fantasy 1.01 – The Shocking Door [Fantasy – Trap]

Trap – The Door of Doom

Although this rather ingenuous and highly configurable design has no official designation the “Door of Doom” has been called many things in its time, from “Deadly Door” to “Chamber of Blood” to “No way in the 9 hells I’m going through that thing, not after what it did to Gorrik”. The design is rather complex to install and is banned under many guild laws. Anyone caught installing one is these is banned from trading for life and reported to the relevant authorities.

Description

This door looks more like a small chamber, big enough for 1 average sized person to stand in it. It has two doors, an inner one and outer. The inner door will not open when the outer door is open and vice versa...
