The Game Master's Book of Traps, Puzzles and Dungeons: A punishing collection of bone-crunching contraptions, brain-teasing riddles and ... RPG adventures (The Game Master Series)

Traps have always been a soft spot for my DM'ing, and so I got this book, and none of the others by this producer. I just kind of jumped out in the dark for it, and wow has it been rewarding! There are so many maps that I've used, even if not using the traps here or switching out the traps from one map for another. Additionally, it just spices up the whole campaign. And then there's that Scooby-Doo'esque hall of doors... Absolute *chef's kiss* on that. I HIGHLY recommend this to any DM who needs to spice up gameplay. One of my most rewarding D&D book purchases in a long time, and the players agree!Also, this is a well designed book with a variety of chapters, traps of different difficulties, ciphers and puzzles, trap rooms and dungeons... it's well-varied for whatever your specific need might be, even if it's not just a simple "I need this door not to be boring." It can also be "I want my dungeon to have more narrative and mystery." See the puzzles section. This is one of those "really useful books."

When I saw this at The Game Vault of El Paso, Texas, I was WOW'd. I asked them if they still sell it. They said no. So of course, I went to Amazon and BAM! it was there, and so I bought it. I now use it for inspiration for my gaming sessions. So far, I have successfully blown away my players. This is one tool that every Dungeon Master should have standing by when the need arises to help out and inspire.A Great Collection of Ideas!

Great quality very useful

Product itself is great, especially for the price, I own multiple books in this product line. However, Amazon Shipping did not put any packing material in the box to take up the open space, and the top left corner of the book cover was damaged. 5 stars for the product, 0 stars for the shipment packing.

I bought this book as a gift for a friend who loves running chaotic and creative D&D sessions, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The quality immediately stands out — the cover feels premium, the pages are thick and smooth, and the overall design has that “collector’s edition” vibe that makes it feel special.Beyond the presentation, it’s packed with clever traps, puzzles, and dungeon ideas that are perfect for DMs who like to challenge (and occasionally torment) their players in fun ways. Even just flipping through it gave me ideas for my own campaigns.It’s honestly one of those books that’s as enjoyable to read as it is to use. Beautifully made, creative, and definitely worth gifting to any Game Master or RPG fan.

10/10 price of dm equipment. They lay out everything in an easy to understand fashion and have given my players one hell of a time.Highly recommend for new dms!!

Got this for my husband for Christmas. He loved it!

I mean, the traps in the book are perfecty and so easy to implement in any game.I think i abused too much on them cause i love the ideas and the traps.The party loved when one of the lost their face on a glue bucket (spoiler: they didnt)Or when i throw them on a magic trap where they change positions all the time and the ghouls start to teleport with them. (spoiler: it didnt ended very well).

Great trap book!
