101 Fantasy Riddles

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Nothing says "ADVENTURE" in a Role-Playing game like a good riddle!

J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" had riddles. The "Princess Bride," had riddles. Even Monty Python's "Quest for the Holy Grail" spoofed riddles."

Many monsters love to ask and answer riddles. (Especially dragons.) NPCs may ask riddles to test an adventurer's worthiness. Magic doors and chests may offer riddles as a way to grant access, avoid traps. The possibilities are endless.

This book contains over one hundred fantasy style (J.R.R.Tolkien like) riddles. It is designed for use where ever fantasy riddles might by appreciated. The riddles in this book are a compilation of classical riddles combined with dozens of new and original riddles added by the author. Riddles vary in difficulty from very easy to fairly difficult. Most riddles are in singsong rhyme similar to that used by Tolkien in his book the "The Hobbit." All riddles in this book refer only to subjects found in typical medieval/fantasy realms and are suitable for thinkers of all ages.

Please Note: This ebook has been book-marked in such a way as to allow the user to read the riddle and immediately see the answer, or read the riddle without seeing the answer. All riddles are also alphabetically arranged by topic for quick reference.

A few of examples of riddles found in this book include:

Four families of five are we,
but only two you normally see.
We work together and a part
to climb a ladder or eat a tart.
In two families four are rather tall
the remaining one is fat and small.
Two families have pigs small and lean,
with one big fat one to keep clean.
What are we?

I was born from the union of sky and earth
I lived with my family until death from birth.
They buried me in a casket dark and cold.
Then they sold my remains for silver and gold.
I haunted their house until my time had come.
Then my spirit did speak yet no one did run.
What am I?

When I am feeling low and perhaps hung-over
People walk all over me including their dog rover.
But when I am stranding tall my back against a door
I am like a mighty wall that won't back up no more.
Should I burn, break or fall the battle need not be lost
for with no me at all the void shall not be crossed.
What am I?

Sorry you will need to buy this book to learn the answers. :)

Riddle me this: have you ever been in a situation where you want to test your PCs with a brain-teaser, only to find that you can’t think of a good one? Ideally, this is a problem you’d run into when designing your adventure, rather than panicking [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
