That's a lovely resource. Cheers.
Mr Broadhurst, once more I need to thank you for your free lists of things to find and do. I also like how you let us know which lists are new so we don't have to check our list against yours. Thanks again, Sir.

Just going through and making each list print on a separate sheet of paper so I can organize them by subject.
I thought I would share my favorite quote when a PC is searching for traps. "You don't think it's trapped". I use it whether it's trapped or not. My group is going through Rappan Athuk and they are notoriously leery of doors now.
BTW I used the 20 Triggers for Secret Doors in our last game and got a compliment from one player. She said she liked the idea of having a description of the trigger instead of "you open the secret door".

I had gone through and printed out several of your lists after downloading them. Then when I moved I found some of your books that I had bought and compared what I had against the downloads. So it turned out that I reduced the number of printed material a lot. I have a game tomorrow that I intend to use your stuff again. I appreciate what you do for us overworked and underappreciated GM's.

I really like the idea of the empty dungeon rooms. I think that I may use these for premade adventures that have an empty room with no description.

Great stuff. I especially like this one:
Recent heavy rain, or perhaps a minor tremor, recently unearthed a massive, unmarked grave in an unused corner of the graveyard. No one knows exactly who is buried there, or why, and officials are scrambling to get the bodies sorted and properly buried.
Reminds me of both the local collapses (one poor guy lost his house!) and the 'Poor Sinners' Corner' at the nearest cemetery. Of course over the decades the place has expanded until everyone who wasn't supposed to be buried in sacred ground now is, which makes me wonder what could happen in a fantasy setting when that happens. Maybe everyone else buried there gets up and moves to a better neighborhood?

These lists are exactly that, GM gold. I just did a review of "Wilderness Dressing" and am working on "Dungeon Dressing", which is over 300 pages of radiant goodness.

I was waiting to get paid so that I could get your big bundle of PDFs.
Then I had a busy Monday, forgot the whole thing and was reminded by a teasing dead link on the pfsrd.
Any chance you'll run that offer again?
Yes we will be running it again. The offer was tremendously successful so stay tuned!
