  • Tricks, Empty Rooms, and Basic Trap Design
    Tricks, Empty Rooms, & Basic Trap Design By Courtney C. Campbell PREFACE From the Dungeon Master’s Guide, page 171 Table V. F.: Chamber or Room Contents 1-12 Empty 13-14 Monster Only 15-17 Monster and Treasure 18 Special 19 Trick/Trap 20 Treasure And right there is the heart of the issue. Gygax lays out the essence of role-playing games in that single table. He provides methods of producing flowcharts (the random dungeon generator) and fills each node with an encounter: Empty rooms, monsters, traps, treasure and “special”. This system maps to any role playing game since. There is a scene: either nothing happens, you have an antagonist, you deal with a threat, or you receive a reward. There are a selection of options of which scene to reach next (often depending on the events in the first scene). One is selected, you move onto the next scene (room) and repeat the process again. What a wonderful concept! Brilliant in the way it cuts right to the heart of what makes a role-playing game fun. Immediately after (or before in the case of the Monster Manual) and in the years following several of these items were given great support. Across the various iterations of Dungeons and Dragons there are literally thousands of monsters and dozens of books and tables devoted to traps. But what about the other 70% of the table? I’ve already addressed the treasure entry, in my document “Treasure”, available at http://hackslashmaster. blogspot.com/2010/11/treasure-update.html giving you the tools to create tons of interesting treasure.
