@nickdrawthing @kensanata Some spiders dig tunnels, web over it, with dirt on top. Prey falls in and they rush up to attack.
Also nice if you have a bunch of babies swarm over them while they're stuck, weaker poison but more of it.
If the giant spiders are intelligent, which so many seem to be!, they could set up more complex web mazes, with more ambush spots. Might even know their webs are flammable, and throw fire on trapped victims.

A blaze of fire! An infernal motorbike thrashes my living room and the rider leaves me Gavriel Quiroga's HELL NIGHT in my lap.
The skull faced motorist spits me in the face and tells me @thelostbay send me his regards, before setting fire to my house and departing.
COOL

Today, my #Ennies2025 journey begins with Tides of Rot for the #osr western game Frontier Scum.
An intricately designed product with some lovely type-setting and some great art that proves that if you polish a turd for long enough it'll wind up on a #ttrpg awards shortlist:

I feel like I should already have this somewhere in my collection, but I need a side quest dungeon that’s for roughly 10th level in D&D terms, some ancient tomb or temple that would have an artifact in it. Anyone have suggestions? I’m adapting to another system entirely, so any system is fine.

I recorded "Unboxing the Monster Overhaul" before heading to Philmont. It's a great (and kinda hefty!) monster book for fantasy RPGs.
The statblocks are #OSR inspired, so they're short and to the point. The best part? Lots and lots of random tables offering supporting details for each monster.
If you take 1985 D&D module WG7 Castle Greyhawk, and make a mind map, omit the jokes and 80s pop culture references, it can still be a serviceable megadungeon.

I've played a lot of 5e D&D. I've played even more old-school editions. Which is better?
HINT: That's the wrong question to ask.

#Dragonbane session 32: The party scours the caves for treasure. Naked Kalgrim (returned from the dead without clothes & loving it), Kris & Aodhan fall foul to meter-long poisonous albino centipedes. The party makes it back to Venge’s lair, where the dragon presents them with a magic sword & the final piece of Eledain’s statue. Red mists flood the valley, as the party returns to Outskirt…

It's unfortunate that I decided to write about the #Ennies2025 best adventure - shortform category in the year a) I turned my back on the #OSR and b) OSR and OSR-inspired adventures did a clean sweep of the category. #ttrpg
