Doomlords Guide to Traps

🕯️ Doomlord’s Guide to Traps

A Murderous Compendium of Sinister Snares, Death Puzzles, and Watchful Horror

⚠️ WARNING: This book contains lethal ingenuity, twisted humor, and dangerous amounts of creativity.

💀 WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAVORITE NIGHTMARE

Are your dungeons missing that certain malicious spark? Do your traps feel predictable, your rogues overly confident, your adventurers distressingly alive? Doomlord can fix that.

Doomlord’s Guide to Traps is an outrageous collection of over 200 fiendish, bizarre, and gloriously theatrical traps, lovingly crafted by Doomlord the Lich and his villainous sister, Countess DoomTanya. Every trap is a narrative masterpiece, dripping with flavor and lethality—ready to turn your dungeon into a death-defying (or death-encouraging) spectacle.

🎭 INSIDE YOU'LL FIND:

• 200+ original traps across 10 chapters, including:
  • Mechanical Mayhem: Spinning blades, collapsing rooms, or floors that betray you.
  • Mind Games & Death Puzzles: Logic traps that punish failure with spectacular implosions.
  • Watchers & Sentinels: Traps that observe, judge, and inevitably destroy.
  • DoomTanya’s Delightful Detours: Gothic-flavored traps that seduce, betray, and emotionally devastate.
• Dozens of Random Generation Tables for instantly creating new traps, challenges, and dungeon madness on the fly.
• Optional rules like Trap Trauma Tables (surviving doesn't mean you're fine), Grit & Guts Mode (no easy perception checks), and the deliciously cruel Doom Points, which let the GM crank up the chaos whenever things get too comfortable.
• System-neutral mechanics make it instantly compatible with your favorite fantasy RPG, whether it's classic fantasy, OSR dungeon-crawling, or gonzo grimdark mayhem.

📖 FROM THE TWISTED MINDS OF DOOMLORD & DOOMTANYA

Doomlord the Lich (He Who Traps) is infamous for engineering sadistic dungeon features and philosophical ramblings on villainy, death, and decor. His sister, Countess DoomTanya, adds her unique blend of velvet-lined cruelty, gothic romance, and emotional torment. Together, they’ve produced a manual of mechanical madness, dripping with charm, cruelty, and killer puns.

🎲 PERFECT FOR GMS WHO:

• Love cackling ominously behind their GM screens.
• Think "checking for traps" should involve real fear and respect.
• Want to make adventurers seriously reconsider their career choices.

🗝️ ARE YOUR PLAYERS READY FOR DOOM?

They think they're prepared. They think they’re clever.

Doomlord disagrees.

And he's got just the trap for them.
