Ewwwwwwwwwww! Ack

Well, I think the Argh!-eologist's starter should have, at one point, a trap or horrible death that happens just like in the movies. The bad guy would get stuck in it, and there would be a message: (bad guy) died a gruesome death. Don't look!

I like that idea too.

Suggestions for traps?

It will have snakes, rolling boulders and maybe a pit.

Yes, the pit!
Poison darts maybe?

Yes, pits, good. Rolling boulders, a must. Snakes, naturally. Poison darts are always fun.
But the boulder (or one of them?) should be triggered by you removing an artifact from a pedestal unless you place something else there right away!
We could make the whole thing a replica of the opening scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Well, not exactly. But close, you know?

And I really want to do something else to contribute to the Archaeologist. Because he's just so cool!
I did that revolver, but... apparently people didn't like it, I guess.

Yeah, I think.
Maybe mine will go in.

Ah well. I did the skins. That's enough; I've got other stuff to work on.

This may be a more Egyptian trap, but closing in walls are cool.

Well I made one, and Agent of Dread made one. But IMO they could both use a little work (mine more than his).

I wonder how to manage the temple indoors though. I have made a big Maya temple in the middle of the map, but if the character should enter it, then how?

I was also thinking of just making the temple really GARGANTUAN. That way the road up to the temple could be the "dungeon" and the treasure would be on the top.

You could have the Temple as the whole map, no outside maybe...

Make it all outside.

Like a path in a jungle, up to the temple, like Zefz was saying.
And at the top of the temple there's some shiny golden artifact thingy. And unless you put something down right away, it triggers a trap where you have to run from a rolling boulder!

Outside would be cool, since we have so few outside modules.
