Here for my gentle readers and fellow DMs out there is a comprehensive legend of dungeon doors.
THE OCD Dungeon Doors Legend.
Putting more info on the map is something I strive to do, hopefully there might be some utility to this table. I know it's not the last one I'll ever produce and this set will likely only look good for grids ruled between 3 to the inch and 6 to the inch as far as I currently tell. The legend certainly looks better if you open it in it's own window or download it.
Wow! That's pretty danged exhaustive!
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent - a very handy resource. It reminds me of the tables in the AD&D DMG - but in a graphical form. :)
ReplyDeleteI have circles for doors on my latest map... ;)
I can't see using these symbols on anything less than 4-to-the-inch, with each square being 5'. Not a criticism, mind you. I really prefer to have this sort of information on the map, rather than in the related notes. It's just that the symbols are information-rich, so i'd want them to be clear to the reader.
ReplyDeleteConsider this yoinked, with thanks!
You forgot the symbol for a door rigged to drop a bucket of water (or something really nasty) on someone's head as they enter. LOL
ReplyDeleteWould that be "Lintel trapped" ?
DeleteLOVE THIS.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I plan to use these.
ReplyDeleteLike it. A lot.
ReplyDeleteSomething else for my players to ponder when they sneek glimpses of my maps...
ReplyDelete"Why do all the doors look different?"
Heh-heh-heh...
Ciao!
Argh! I wanted to make a one-way secret door with a peephole! My dreams are shattered, they are shattered!

1d30, just move an arrow over or leave out the line for the arrow. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what a transom is!
ReplyDeleteA transom is a space above a door that allows light, smoke, heat and sound to pass through without having to open the door.
ReplyDeleteAwesome chart! Thanks!
