Best Books of Traps, Tricks, and Jokes?

[Ulric]

Lookin' to add more traps, tricks, and jokes to my game. I know of a number of books out there, but have no experience with any of them. Any feedback/ideas are appreciated.

For traps I would suggest Traps and Treachery I and II from Fantasy Flight Games. They have some riddles and puzzles in the books as well. I prefer the first one over the second but I like both of them. You can get the PDF versions of them for only $5 US. The print versions were also on sale for $5 US from FFG directly for a while. I'm not sure if there are any copies left now though.

Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps from Necromancer Games is another good one for traps.

Goodman Games have a book called Lethal Legacies which is also about traps. I don't own it but I am looking up picking up the PDF.

Wurst, I rate a tad higher than Traps and Treachery series. That is only because, however, I love ole Grimtooth.

 

[Shadowslayer]

May not be considered the "best", but you might want to give the random Tricks and Traps section of the 1e DMG a look. Lotsa fun stuff there.

 

[Nightfall]

Dungeonscape suppose to have more traps.

There really isn't a good tricks and riddles book for Third Edition. Traps and Treachery I has a few, but most aren't that great. It does, however, have a nice trap selection, so it's worth it for the good traps and the adequate(but still better than other 3E stuff) puzzles.

Goodman Games has a great one that the title excapes me. It is very creative and clever though it gets talked about almost never.

 

[Nightfall]

Crothy,

It's not a DCC product I take it?

*thinks that Wurst is better than Traps but then that's his bias showing*

 

[Treebore]

What Olaf said. Like Nightfall I prefer "Wurst" because I have always loved Grimtooth.

I would rate Traps and Treachery 1 over 2 as well. But I find them all worth owning.

That's probably Lethal Legacies as mentioned above.
