>It's a dungeon with curtains instead of doors

Yes, but why?

>>49705410
It's the BBEG's harem and the harem girls are succubi and harem guards are minotaurs.

Tactical reasons:
-Quick transitions from room to room for sentries
-Unusual sounds can be heard with greater ease by stationary guards

Financial reasons:
-Curtains are easier to repair or replace
-Curtains don't cost as much as doors

Aesthetic reasons
-Great diversity of available materials
-Wide range of color selections

How might a BBEG booby-trap a curtain?

How would he secure his personal room? What would prevent someone with ill intent from bursting through his curtained doorway while he sleeps?

Unless you're playing in a boring low-no magic setting. Then soak them in oil, set them aflame, and escape out a hidden passage in the room.

Is this harem labyrinthine?
If so, I might allow it--for thematic reasons.

All the curtains are Rugs of Smothering.

I played a module that had some of these. In a few places, the doors rotted away or became unusable in the millennia since the place was abandoned by the humans who once maintained it. The beastmen who later moved in, lacking the skills and resources to replace or maintain the doors, hung up curtains of hide in their place.

From a GMing perspective, it allows monsters without thumbs to move freely between rooms, keeps PCs from impeding monster movement by nailing or barricading or holding them shut, makes the PCs' every sound matter because they are more easily heard through a curtain, but still affects the PCs' line of sight. It forces them to be more careful or risk alerting/fighting more monsters because stealth is harder and they don't have as much control over the dungeon environment.

Place guards at the entrance, and set bells, wind-chimes, or other noise makers about or on the curtains. Anyone bursting through makes a great deal of noise, even if they somehow dispatch the guards without you being alerted.

Every minion in the dungeon is taught to say "It's curtains for you!" when slaying trespassers

Those are assassin curtains, mate. When you look away from them while in melee range, a hand shoots out and stabs you for hefty damage.

Of course, when you try to defend yourself from the "hidden assassin", the other one gets you in the back and finishes you off.

>It's a dungeon with curtains instead of doors
>Some of the curtains have locks on them for whatever reason

Rogue would get sad without them.

Fighters wear armor under robes. Wizards wear prop platemail made out of foam core.

Welcome to the new normal: all tropes must be inverted.

So the dungeon is the Black Lodge? I'd be down with that.

Porn burnouts exist in fantasy too huh

All the curtains are Mimics.

The floors are Trappers.

The walls are Stunjellies.

The ceilings are Lurkers Above.

Yes, we know this one by heart.

You mean like how tabards were worn in real life?

what a beautiful love story

>>49705480
in one of the D&D 5e modules they have a curtain over a doorway and the curtain hid barbed wire, so guards learnt to use a stick to move it out of the way when no one was looking

Horde of the Dragon Queen does it with a nice Con save to not take a hefty amount of damage from the poison. Gotta love them kobolds.

This is my most favourite thing I have ever heard on /tg/, maybe even all of 4chan.
