The preview was regrettably disappointing. I didn't find anything fresh or different from other sources or my own imagination. Perhaps my expectation was unfair, and this was aimed at brand new storytellers and dungeon masters. For this old-timer it wasn't appropriate.
Breaking down the traps into levels of difficulty is incredibly helpful. I GM for middle-school kids, so is excellent for introducing my players to traps for the first time.
Decent content and mix of options
