I've seen a few of these in the Traps and Treachery book. Others merely make an interesting encounter (The zombies filled with scorpions, the disguised giants); those aren't meant to screw the players, but to spice up an otherwise boring encounter.I actually like the "Illusionary ceiling webs/pit trap floor". On the other hand, I'm not the DM to be vicious like these traps suggest. However, I've ran a group that expected me to (They spent five minutes real time worrying about a bag of tricks, thinking it was going to attack them. They looked in every crate and barrel, thinking there was a "Gotcha" somewhere.) It got very frustrating for me.</blockquote>
