Need better traps for your games? Has it been too long since you bled? Solve both of these problems in this combination seminar and game!
Participants will team up, two players for each pregenerated character, deciding how to traverse the infamous “Gauntlet” trap-filled room from Dungeon of Doom, the free adventure from Dwarven Forge. Lead designer Teos Abadia will pull back the curtain and discuss the trap design after each segment of the gauntlet is surpassed. Learn how to make engaging traps, how to assign damage and DCs, how to resolve checks and deal with perception and other skills, and how to make traps interesting and fun. Dwarven Forge terrain will be utilized.

Time will be available at the end to have an open discussion and answer questions. This event uses the D&D 5E rules, but the lessons apply to other RPGs and Teos is prepared to discuss other systems.

Special Guest

Teos Abadia

Teos Abadía is a Colombian-American freelance author and developer working with Wizards of the Coast, MCDM, Penny Arcade, Dwarven Forge, Hasbro, and several organized play programs. Teos was the managing director for Draw Steel's mega-adventure Crack the Sun and a primary author on both the Acquisitions Incorporated D&D book and on the Forge of Foes guide to creating and running monsters. Board game work includes the HeroQuest game relaunch. Blogging at Alphastream.org and podcasting on Mastering Dungeons, Teos shares knowledge and advocates for diversity and better industry pay. Reports that he was created by tinker gnomes in a device powered by space hamsters are incorrect… it leaves out the important role played by flumphs.
