I employed a lot of different traps during the dm's career. Now I'm looking for more. Do you know of any interesting and unique traps, and creative ways to use them? And of any sourcebooks or netbooks, so far everything I found was pretty poor. |

I have the "The Lady or the Tiger and other Logic Puzzles" by Raymond Smullyan, published by Times Books, New York, NY. on my DM reference shelves. It has served me well for almost 10 years now. It's not just varients on the classic Lady or Tiger puzzle, and has many that are written such that they take little word adaptation for insertion into a dungeon or a tomb. |

Ooh, those are from the Legends and Lairs series, right? Those -are- excellent. We got pulled into a chute/slide trap that threw us into a pit, and it took us a while just to figure out what happened, heh!

Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is a book about ... many things ... including brain-twisting puns and puzzles, math and logic, language and communication.
I find that books of riddles tend to be filled with painfully overdone "classic puzzles" or painfully superficial/obvious wordplay. Any book about logic will, at least through problems and examples, provide all sorts of formal mental challenges which can easily be rewritten into a game context. |

The only source I found is Dragon #271. Those are mostly word puzzles. |

Thanks, I got The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps from Necromancer Games, the used Dungeonscape took forever to ship.

I'd also suggest the Dungeonscape 3.5 edition accessory for extra rules on traps, including a PrC that utilizes traps. |

On that note, one of the Pathfinder Adventure Path books, #40, Serpent's Skull #4: The Vaults of Madness has a gazetteer section after the adventure that's nothing but a selection of a dozen or so dungeon deathtraps and how they work in detail.  |
