Saw this the other day at the gaming store.
Flipped thorugh it real quick, but wasn't looking to hard as this week's purchase was going to be the DMG II.
I like monster books. And a Trap Book is sort of like a specialized monster book. So I'm interested. But...
I don't want to drop 40 buck on variations on the 'Yep, you're dead' theme.
Is The Wurst of Grimtooths Traps a collection of usable encounters to throw against your PC's? Or is it more of the "Let's see the most evil, vile, cool, excuriating way I get to kill you" trap? (Like most of the 1st ed traps were).
It seems to be striving for a 1st ed feel (whcih is fine), but I'm worried it also includes that 1st ed heart of "Yep, you're dead, make a new PC; He's Dead too. Yep, new one? Dead, 5 minutes, a record for longevity."
I HATED all those 1st ed dungeons that were nothing more than a series of Find/Rmove Trap rolls until you failed one. Then you died. Wasn't fun then, isn't fun now.
To summerize, does 'The Wurst of Grimtooths Traps' Challenge Players, or simply kill them?
