TRAPS & HAZARDS (Remastered) - Entangling Entertainment: Making Danger Delightfully Devious

RPGBOT.Podcast

Step right up, adventurers! This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we're diving into traps and hazards—the spicy jalapeños of your dungeon crawls. How do you keep traps fun and challenging without turning them into a "rocks fall, everyone dies" situation? We’re sharing tips to keep your players on their toes, turn frustration into excitement, and maybe even make a pit of spikes a source of laughter and teamwork.

Tune in now and learn how to craft moments that make your players say, "Ouch, but also… genius." Don’t miss it, or you might just fall into our cleverly hidden pit of FOMO!
