What it is about
Welcome to Secret and Hidden Doors – a list of unique not so obvious doors you can add to your dungeon rooms and ruins to add interest and immersion in any exploration of dark, decaying, and dangerous corners of your game world. Why have a simple hidden door or a trapdoor under a rug when you can have a highly descriptive one that sets the scene for what lies beyond it? Use these ideas to stimulate your player’s creative juices the next time they encounter a dungeon door.
Below you will find twenty-five secret and hidden door descriptions that you can drop in any time you need to jazz up an area of a dungeon, ruins, necropolis, or other mysterious location. Or grab one on the fly when the creative energy at the table seems to be flagging to get them curious about what might lay behind such a tempting hidden door. Feel free to shape the details to fit your needs in any given scenario.
