"This is the kind of guide a Game Master drools over . The traps are well written and easy to understand. There are plenty of options and ways to customize traps to fit your campaign needs." -- Amazon review "I really think this is an exciting title! [The book] covers all the bases... Maybe you have a trap in your dungeon and you didn't think about what if the players want to use it trap the villain, and so they're asking, "How do I reset it?" and you didn't plan for that. With this book, you don't have to. It's already there!" -- Splinterverse (YouTube channel review) " 5 stars! " -- DTRPG customer rating "Once again, MageGate hits it out of the park! A very large selection of balanced traps. I really like the cost of each trap being included for players wanting to use them in their base. I highly recommend picking this up if you are a GM." -- DTRPG customer review " The Game Master's Guide to Traps and Terrors is 129 pages of DM fun...
