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. -

Since that time, thousands Fof safe rooms have been built, and a growing number of these safe rooms have already saved lives in actual events. There has not been a single reported failure of a safe room constructed to FEMA criteria.

Naoko Morisawa's Mosaic Artwork Is Hand-Made of Thousands of Very
Naoko Morisawa’s mosaic artwork is hand-made of thousands of very small slices of natural and oil-dyed (wood) chips on board. She incorporates the patterns in the wood and enhances them with oil-stain to explore imagery that comes from common items: a cupcake, shoes, a wave, and waterfalls etc. Her work has been exhibited internationally and locally at Seattle Art Museum Gallery; Whatcom Museum; Wing Luke Museum; FCA Gallery in Vancouver-BC Canada; contemporary art museums and galleries in Ginza, Aoyama, Kobe, Kawasaki, Yokohama, and Tokyo (Japan); Dublin Biennial International 2014 (Ireland); Roma Art International Biennale, 2015 and Florence Biennale International 2015 (Italy). http://www.naokomorisawa.com With each artwork requiring 45 to 50 days to complete, there’s My Dahlia – My Sister, 2012, 20” x26”, a temporal aspect to Naoko Morisawa’s artwork that might not oil-stained wood mosaics, acrylic and oil be apparent at first. Mosaic – the art of assembling small pieces paint, sumi ink, Japanese paper on board into a whole – requires great patience and skill. In work that is at once abstract and representational, Morisawa takes the art form to new heights with her exacting attention to the tiniest detail. In My Dahlia – My Sister, for example, the different shares of red in the foliage and the sparing use of blue and white in the flower itself are almost uncanny in the way they convey the flower. It’s as if Morisawa uses stained wood panel to take a realistic photograph – the elements of the flower which are unique are captured in the work of art. -

Kaso Vault Doors and Strongrooms
Strongrooms and vaults Demand for secure storage and archiving of documents, data, and valuables is on the rise due to new legislation as well as distributed and more sophisticated archiving needs. Not only financial institutions but also other organisa- tions and businesses are increasingly required to store material securely – sometimes for days, sometimes for decades. Archive and vault doors Kaso archive and vault doors can be installed to a wall of reinforced concrete construction or as part of a prefabricated strongroom. They protect valuable assets against a wide variety of hazards including fire, unauthorised access and forced attacks. The range covers doors tested for vary- ing grades of protection and provides an array of options in terms of emergency exits, locking, alarm sensors and exterior design. Strongroom elements Officially tested prefabricated strongrooms have replaced traditional concrete vaults in many banks, companies and institutions. Prefabricated strongrooms are also used in private panic room installations. The increase in their popularity is based on high security, consistent quality and certified burglary resistance. The strongroom scope of supply can also be customised to meet individual project requirements. Safety deposit lockers Kaso offers the widest range of standard safety deposit boxes in the market, with two series, SLK-70 and SLK-90, of which the latter has passed tests by the Bankers Association. Both series offer several standard width options and standard lockers. Thanks to a variety of locking options, design alternatives and additional moni- toring and deposit management solutions, the deposit locker solution can be fully customised to meet specific needs.
