ReplyDeleteThanks, this is great!
ReplyDeleteI'm all of 7 pages in, and I had to stop to say THANK YOU! This is awesome, and you rock!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell I've been working with a lot of empty rooms lately?
I know without opening it that I will certainly be using this in my campaigns. Many thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm starting to figure out why I bothered. Thanks for the great comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's free except for one thing. You have to tell someone about it - either in a blog post review or sharing it around your table.
I make supplements that I like or need to use in my games. This isn't the last of them. I'm thinking poisons and alchemy is next, along with an updated treasure document.
We should figure out a way to convert these to an iPad/iPhone/Android app for really quick generation of random goodness.

Well done, thank you !
ReplyDeleteSaw this on /tg/. I can't wait to check it out.
ReplyDelete-C, I just DLed it and going to read through it. This looks great. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading through it, and I must say, this is something along the lines of what I've been looking for myself for a while now. I hope to have a review up on my own blog within the week. Great stuff, my man.
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is John Reyst and I run d20pfsrd.com, a fan-based rules site for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. I'd like to use the content of this PDF on the site in various places and would most certainly provide links back to this blog. If its ok to do so please let me know!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Thanks for sharing! Another mini book to print! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray, I'm not going to reach the half century mark before someone writes cannily about tricks and traps ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, great stuff, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI really like the room contents section.
Yes, great stuff. I keep stopping by here but for some reason haven't followed. Well, I'm following now!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney. Happy Thank a Free RPG Blogger Day. I just wanted to thank you for contributing this document. I've been struggling with how to make my traps both deadly and fair for a while now, but your format for writing up traps has completely solved that problem for me. I'm very excited about using traps that I've generated using this document on my players (though I haven't had the chance to yet). Thanks for making this available!
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding. Precisely what I've been looking for. I've only had about a half hour to look at it and am amazed at the quality/quantity.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice. This ought to be in most rulebooks.
ReplyDeleteWow. Awesome!

Late to the party as usual - wow, this is cool.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I can't help but notice you hosted it on a site with the address "angband.oook..." so I take it you're a fan of roguelikes?
ReplyDeleteI write and maintain Steamband, a Victorian/Steampunk/Pulp Roguelike.
ReplyDeleteThat's a truly awesome document! The materials you share are really amazing (and appreciated).
ReplyDeleteThe Treasure and Dungeon Room filling document are top notch. Thank you. I am finally gonna finish my megadungeon and this will play a great part.
ReplyDeleteHi -C I just downloaded your tricks, traps & empty rooms document, and am really enjoying it! Perhaps somewhat strangely what I was after was a list of possible building materials for walls & ceilings (to add a bit of variety), and your doc has hit the mark! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLovely work! I'm sure i'll find plenty of use for it :) and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis just solved the longest part of making a dongeon for me. Filling it up. This was just what i needed. Again, this needs to be in all DMGs . It's just that good and useful.
ReplyDeleteI've not played DnD in over a decade, but this is fantastic. It is filled with ideas that bring a dungeon to life. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI read every comment here, no matter when they are posted and enjoy each and every one of them.
ReplyDeleteIf you like it look around the blog and subscribe! More is always on the way.
