Sometimes, those “Special” Results on the sainted Stocking Table might leave a Referee a bit at a Loss. There are only so many Statues, Pools, or other features one can sprinkle about. One option I sometimes like to consider is using this as a cue to add in a Strange or Unusual Door.
I am pretty comfortable with injecting a bit of humor and whimsy into my Dungeons on occasion for a slight break in Tension, and this table began with a few ideas I cribbed from a Tunnels & Trolls Dungeon that I dug. Every Door in that Dungeon had something to say it seemed! While that might be a bit excessive for most Mythic Underworlds, here are a few ideas for that can be used to make these Thresholds of Exploration a bit more interactive. Some are a bit more akin to Puzzles, other might benefit from a quick Reaction Roll to determine their Disposition to the Party, etc. I love presenting the Players with Opportunities to talk to things, so many of these Doors can Speak or have their own Personalities. There are an awful lot of Rules about interacting with Doors in these games after all!
