[James McCann · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must have for any game master running a d20 system. I used it with Dungeons and Dragons 5e, and have found the chapters on traps and puzzles indispensable. The chapter on rethinking the rogue class with new feats is also quite helpful.

Now my traps have more purpose. The rogue, when looking for traps, will know why they recognize the trap--goblin creation, meant to slow down adventurers, meant to kill... makes the game more fun.

[Sean]

A thoughtful, creative sourcebook for DMs (with one chapter of useful player-aimed advice and less useful character options for role-playing rogues searching for traps). The mechanical traps visited is by far the most interesting. The puzzles, magic traps, and rogues chapters have strong spots, too, but are more hit and miss.
