Playing around with a Puzzle idea I shelved a while back... AKA Fun With Crypto Tokens.

<a href="http://i.imgur.com/zXSC8cz.gif" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/zXSC8cz.gif</a> No API needed for this... lots of potential for this sort of thing. There is a bit more to this one, but you get the idea.

That's a cool example. You have a Marketplace product that can be used for this (for the red / crypto-parts), right? (Link?) I've held the idea in mind. My players are coming up to a section where I'm going to use this. It'll probably be a couple months until they get there. It's in my Notes but not prepped on the game table yet. Open to the concept.

Hmmm part of me wants to scream witchcraft but the other part of me wants to put this in my game right away.

Very cool Stephen!

I used one of your previous crypto token sets for a puzzle in my recent campaign (this Saturday is our last session, sadly), and my players really enjoyed it. I'm glad to see you working on more, they're neat!

That is genius, i've had a lot of plans for various 'puzzles' to throw at my players (simple sliding panel puzzles to show the location of a secret door, random portals of much fun-ness, riddles to identify combinations and even a puzzle box to solve to get a key/plot item etc) but have never thought of being able to take advantage of token order and transparency like that (which is how i'm assuming it is done?). Great idea... which is only to be expected from you =P

This next trick only works with Alan H's Dungeon Buddies. (Why? Because you need these guys in your party to detect traps like a boss.) <a href="http://i.imgur.com/5QqMtAD.gif" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/5QqMtAD.gif</a> The Bard detects something is not quite right further down the hall. (This takes advantage the the fact that "aura" is always above the map and always below all objects. The "?" is just a PNG to make the floor.)

KABOOM *Mind officially blown* - that is such a great idea, saves needing API for event checking triggers and what not... as a mentor level subscriber I already have a traps script but for those that don't or a situation that requires a nailed on 'ZOMG, somethings fishy' moment I'll have to use that. Despite being opposed to a GM only forum (after-all how could you ever regulate it's entry requirements...) it would be great to have somewhere 'safe' to discuss cunning traps and puzzles that those pesky players couldn't easily unravel with a clever search in the forums.
