The current image for Pit Trap is low quality and has no source. probably this might be a possible replacement: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gotcha_by_sheather888_deacwqx_fullview.jpg

We'd need to get permission from the artist to use the suggestion, and I find the current sufficiently illustrative.

That being said, the lack of a source on the current image is also a bit concerning. Where does it come from? It's perfectly illustrative in itself, but it would be good to have an origin.

I'm perfectly fine with the current as long as it's okay to use.

I think it might be Dungeons & Dragons.

Just a note that Sheather888 is the official illustrator for Serina, so it may be a part of the work anyway.

As the current, I prefer it. Every search shows it's used for DND guides, but I can't confirm who exactly drew it.

Clocking this one.

If anybody wants to reach out to the artist of OP and confirm [up], that would work.

I did find this image from a MTG card game and it's definitely official.

side note, the earliest example i can find of the current image on the internet is this, from this 2012 blog (the image link is broken on the blog, but it's still accessible by editing the link a bit).

Yeah, all other things being equal I'd prefer a colored image to monochrome, and having a specific, known source is icing on the cake. [tup] for 8.

How about something that doesn't overlap with Spikes of Doom?

Check out my forum game: Rate the above YMMV.

[up]How exactly does it overlap with Spikes of Doom?

Because it has spikes?

Amour Le Fou has a point. Spikes are not a requirement for a Pit Trap.

Good point, actually. We just really take spikes at the bottom for granted.

[up][up] That's good.

I like the suggestion over the current for Spikes of Doom, they get across the "danger" part better.

I'll say MTG for Spikes of Doom and Cap for Pit Trap.

10 to Spikes of Doom is at superconsensus and 19 for Pit Trap has the votes and is the only option in the green, so going ahead and calling for those moves.
