They serve multiple purposes from stopping would be thieves from making off with a valuable object to being a source of entertainment for a bored beast.

Whatever the reason, knowing more details about the trap will help you describe it.

Dungeon Maker

For many people, the word “Dungeon” conjures up dark stone corridors filled with creatures out to stop you. After a while they may seem to be the same, all looking alike and feeling, well, boring.

What you need is some variety in your dungeons!

Dungeon maker is a series of tables designed to help you in designing and fleshing out your dungeons or places for the party to explore. Building on some existing publications from Ennead Games and combing and adding to the information they hold.

Existing supplements, such as the “Dungeon Feature” series, also from Ennead Games will expand on certain details even further if required, such as altars. Think of this publication as a base product from which other optional items can be added to.

One of the new projects I am working on at the start of the year is the next in the Dungeon Feature series. For those that are unaware of it, it is a series of pdf with the common theme of “things you might find in a dungeon or building or similar environment.” As that is obviously an unwieldy title, it was shortened to Dungeon Feature.

So far there have been the following in the series:

• Altars
• Doors
• Room/Location Names
• Sights, sounds, smells
• Chests
• Fountains

As you can see it leaves a lot more that can be done. On my to-do list is:

• Armory
• Artwork
• Ballroom
• Barracks
• Bathing room/Cleaning chamber
• Chairs
• Corpses & Bodys
• Council Chamber/Meeting Room
• Crypt/Mortuary
• Kitchen
• Laboratory
• Library
• Paintings
• Pillar
• Pits
• Pool
• Portal
• Prisons & Captives
• Secrets
• Signs, Runes & Symbols
• Stairs & Ladders
