"Traps & Treachery" - Used it?

[BV210]

In the Rules forum I posted a question regrading a trap from Fantasy Flight's "Traps & Treachery." I was just curious if anyone had used some of the sinister ideas found in that tome or it's follow-up? If so, which ones and how did it go?

I guess on a side note, what about "The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps"?

I've used all of those plus other trap books. They can be a lot of fun!!

Of my group, I tend to be the anti-dungeon GM, so every so often I'll play against type and run a straight-ahead, 1e-style dungeon crawl, complete with deadly traps. The Grimtooth books are great for that, and a lot of those traps were reprinted in the Traps & Treachery books, so when my FLGS had those marked down 50% I picked up I & II. Of course, part of the fun of running those types of dungeons is making the traps yourself. Good times.

I like this book.
I use them (part 1 or 2) at nearly every game session when PC rogue is in play.

I like it too. I think you can get these cheap from fantasy flight games

I've used a lot of the character option stuff from here and not a lot of the actual traps. I used one stairway trap as a base and expanded it a lot for my 16th level group when they were invading a rakshasa's mansion in a planar city.

I didn't use a single thing from Traps and Treachery, and rather regretted getting the book!

T&T1 is pretty good, and it's the only 3rd edition resource I've found with actual riddles and dungeon logic puzzles, if that's your thing.

Dungeonscape's encounter traps beat T&T1 handily, though.

I have used them a couple of times.
Sometimes straight from the book sometimes just to get ideas.

The discreet companion makes for a good antagonist. A bit similar to Mal's wife in Fire Fly...
