	'''Grimtooth's [[Trap]]s''' is a classic reference for [[Eldrad\|dick]] [[Gamemaster]]s. Paul Ryan O'Connor published this for Flying Buffalo in Scottsdale all the way back in June 1981. Itself inspired by the various dickery [[E. Gary Gygax]] was inflicting on parties [[S1: Tomb of Horrors\|all through the 1970s]], many of these traps will inspire [[That Guy\|That DM]] through the 1980s and beyond. Especially for [[Reverse Dungeon]] and tomb-raider adventures.		'''Grimtooth's [[Trap]]s''' is a classic reference for [[Eldrad\|dick]] [[Gamemaster]]s. Paul Ryan O'Connor published this in Grimtooth's name for Flying Buffalo in Scottsdale all the way back in June 1981. Itself inspired by the various dickery [[E. Gary Gygax]] was inflicting on parties [[S1: Tomb of Horrors\|all through the 1970s]], many of these traps will inspire [[That Guy\|That DM]] through the 1980s and beyond. Especially for [[Reverse Dungeon]] and tomb-raider adventures.

	~~The~~ book starts with two warnings. The one on the cover reads "Unauthorized disclosure of this material may contribute to the unjustified survival of adventurers, delvers, and player characters . . . and may result in serious damage to the deadly reputation of the Game Master." (Because third-party, not "DM"... yet.) The inner page more prosaically and Canadianly calls "ATTENTION" that it's all "designed for game purposes only" - so don't build one IRL lest you get party-vanned.		Grimtooth, the narrator, is a [[troll]]; a conceit "[[Monte Cook\|Malhavoc]]" will steal for his [[Eldritch Might]] series. O'Connor sets himself up as "Assistant Troll" and (more seriously) "Editor" - because quite a bit here comes from his friends and contributors, whom he credits for their evil.

	In order, the chapters run: Room Traps, Corridor Traps, Door Traps, Items and Artifacts, and Things. Many of the former run on the pit-and-lever principle, like the See-Saw Corridor you've probably seen in half your dungeons. Even a troll has to start somewhere.

	There's a call for readers' opinions here, asking for opinions on what's the best trap. This was a not-so-veiled solicitation for readers to submit their ''own'' work - leading to several future volumes. Michael Stackpole and Elizabeth Danforth in 1986 edited "Grimtooth's Traps Fore". Actually the third, Stackpole claimed, as a joke, that a Three Letter Agency had confiscated that (nonexistent) third volume. Then in 1990 Rick Loomis reprinted that book in which he was forced to admit it was a joke, because [[Steve Jackson Games]] ''had'' got v&, by the Secret Service no less. And people wonder why the US can't win wars.		There's a call for readers' opinions here, asking for opinions on what's the best trap.
