Trap Generator

Generate traps for dungeons, ruins, and adventure locations. Create mechanical traps, magical traps, and environmental hazards with triggers, effects, and clues for D&D, Pathfinder, and tabletop RPGs.

Generates a dungeon or ruin trap with location, trigger, effect, a clue that it exists, a complication, and the trap's original purpose. The clue field gives players a fair chance to spot the trap before triggering it, and the complication field adds wrinkles beyond simple damage. Works for D&D dungeons, Pathfinder adventures, and any RPG where the environment is dangerous.
