Jumping aboard a bandwagon I think but I had this in the pot cooking before the current fashion. This is my table smith table sections for traps and features. Ought to be pretty self-explanatory except for some of the code. Started ought as strictly Moldvay Basic style, then added some from Kabuki Kaiser's RoTU and the 1e DMG
The intent is to keep them on their toes and give them lots of stuff to play with. It's DCC oriented at the moment with some 3.5 influence also
Peace be upon you
