Nah -- Lawful Neutral. Rules are rules! :)

You're in a minority of at least 2. I'd like to see a lot more example traps, both for inspiration and to provide guidelines. Players argue less if you can point to an example trap and say "no, see, tripwires are SUPPOSED to be Per/Trap-9 to spot, I'm not screwing you guys over!" And I'd never have thought of Evil Runes by myself, but since they've been published, no one complains (much) if I put them in the game.

I'm hoping the Classic item this week is the Imperial Rome one...

Well, you're both part of a minority of 3, at least. I personally feel that traps is too narrow for a PDF, but DF: Hazards, including traps, curses, environmental hazards (extreme cold, extreme heat, fighting in an acidic swamp, etc etc) would rock. DF needs more prebuilt material for the GM (it provides plenty for the players, but little for the GM)

Lots of talk about Traps... Is it just wishing, or is there something fueling speculation that I overlooked?

Sort of. Kromm mentioned on his blog that he's working on something new for DF.

It's a trap to think it's a trap!

Rasputin mentioning it above is the first place I've seen it brought up.

1st week wrong of the year, but a good week to be wrong for, in the end.

I've seen other people mention that they want a DF Traps book before, but Rasputin's post was the first time I've seen anyone speculate on whether or not it's being written.
