Secret & Hidden Doors – A Scenery Drop In for the Busy DM by Steven Chabotte is a generic role playing game supplement published by Lucky Dice Games.
The supplement is available as a seven-page PDF for free from DriveThruRPG. One page is the front cover, one the front matter and two are ads.
The opening text explains that this is intended to add hidden doors to locations, such as dungeons and ruins.
The table of doors then follows. There are 25 different doors, and each is given a paragraph describing it. The description not only describes the hidden door, but also how to open it, and there is a wide variety of different doors, that are hidden in different ways, from behind bookcases to within walls, and with different methods of opening them, such as moving boots or placing magnets.
Secret & Hidden Doors – A Scenery Drop In for the Busy DM in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks, and given its length and the type of content, these are not needed. Navigation is fine. The text maintains a single column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
This is exactly what it sets out to be; a collection of 25 different hidden and secret doors with different ways of opening them that can be dropped into various different kinds of locations. The supplement is, as mentioned, generic, so game stats will need adding as appropriate for different games; if stats are needed, this is harder to use on the fly as they would then also need working out. The GM should also pick doors that are suitable for the locations in which they are located; the descriptions of some are not flexible enough to drop them in anywhere. Secret & Hidden Doors – A Scenery Drop In for the Busy DM is a decent little supplement that provides exactly what it says it does and it can be downloaded for free by clicking here.
