This thread is definitely party a finger to those people online who chose title "Blood Of The Zombies" over "Escape From Zombie Castle", which with reference to roidhun they at least went with after that was the readers choice (see his Boaty McBoatface thread in General).
Thief Of Fang Deathtrap Dungeon 2 Second Deathtrap Dungeon (Where Deathtrap Dungeon is a lot bigger and more dangerous, taking up many more references - this is where I might not mind it being a sequel)
Azzur's Victim (You are falsely sentenced to the Dungeon together with the real criminal, during the adventure you have to pick up enough evidence to prove your innocence to Lord Azzur) |

Deathtrap Dungeon is such a perfect, snappy title. ⚔
Slave of Sukumvit - You play a slave of the trial masters, secretly working with one the champions in attempt to rig the contest.

Deathtrap Dungeon's Last Stand That would imply it was the last Deathtrap Dungeon book; I suspect Sir Ian will be writing new Deathtrap Dungeons like Doctor Who regenerations! |

Trial of Champions. Oh wait...
I think for a sequel, the title is best served as something to the point and in line with other FF titles. Maybe something like 'Deathtrap Dungeon: The Walk' or 'Labyrinth of Fang'.

A third Deathtrap Dungeon would need an even greater prize than the first two.
Baron Sukumvit must surely be getting on a bit now, and given he does not have a good relationship with his teenage son, he may have thoughts of appointing someone else as his successor as ruler of the province. Who better than a champion with the skill, intelligence, and fighting prowess required to survive The Walk?
Therefore, I would have him offer up his titles and his position to the winner. (Obviously, his son would have something to say about that, so Sukumvit would have him installed as the final Trialmaster in the third Dungeon.)
Do YOU have what it takes to become "The Baron Of Chiang Mai"?

Deathtrap Dungeon: A Game of Death.
Skumvit's Mother has returned to take over the Dungeon as her son has messed up twice (DD and ToC), giving the book a Beowulf vibe (The Monster's Mother).
As a result the Dungeon is much harder, and actually UNWINNABLE. Near the end, the Hero has to break a lot of the 'rules' to get out, but when they do they bankrupt the Skumvit Family with their winnings.

The collaborative fan version of Deathtrap Dungeon 3 is a good laugh. That's the one with the puzzle which relies on the premise that the only way to tell that someone was poisoned was to be the person who poisoned them, right? I have at times wondered how much time the author of that particular part of the adventure spends campaigning to have coroners imprisoned. |

It's important to be on a coroner's good side. They know where the bodies are buried.

Maybe they lost a partner to a coroner and are still bitter about it  - but probably not.* |

None about Carnuss so far; and perhaps not enough ridiculously cliche aliteration..

Deathtrap Dungeon: Fury Road
An ambitious mash-up from the creator of Deathtrap Dungeon and some bullshit Mad Max rip-off Freeway Fighter. Could be the next Warhammer 40K, or the next Iron Sky.

I'm unsure whether your first suggested title is an elaborate reference comparison to the low-wage, slave-style clothing industry and Carnuss kidnapping you and treating you like a slave, but I think I might be reading too much into this (I can't help but add some Fighting Fantasy covers would be worthy of transferring onto a T-shirt, perhaps wearing when playing D&D or something).

Front cover main title:
TRIAL OF DEATHTRAPS
Back cover plot synopsis:
Baron Sukumvit Charavask is not a happy man. His age is catching up with him. His psychotic teenage son could knife him in the back or poison him any day now. And his very expensive hobby is threatening to bankrupt him. Now he's decided to cheer himself up with one last binge of sadistic and costly architectural and zoological ingenuity, in the hope that he'll at least get to die laughing - at YOUR expense. Are YOU brave and stupid enough to throw your life away for his entertainment, in the delusional belief that a high-functioning sociopath with time running out and nothing to lose will still play even remotely fair? Two dice, a pencil and an eraser are all you need to condemn yourself to an indescribably prolonged and agonizing death. It doesn't matter how many gods and goddesses the world of Titan has for you to throw yourself on the mercy of - this time, you haven't got a prayer!

Fortune's Forum –
Flabbergasted that someone survived Deathtrap Dungeon and that someone prevailed at the Trial of Champions, the villain’s motivation is to find the luckiest person alive. To accomplish this, the antagonist builds a third deathtrap and challenges anyone to dare try to survive it.
The gimmick in this book is that throughout the dungeon are altars that someone can walk through to boost their luck stats. The goal is to get to the end of the dungeon with the highest luck score you can and hopefully, you will have a higher luck stat than the other competitors. The challenge to the player is to use their luck sparingly but because of the difficulty of the enemies, they’ll need to use their luck more often than they’d like.
Still, this adventure will be easier than Trial of Champions and you begin the adventure with 12 provisions. You play as an adventure renowned for being lucky and you can exceed your initial luck score.
The plot twist at the end is that Yaztromo is the final adversary.

But is it Yaztromo in actuality or some bad guy who has cast an Illusion spell? If so, who is underneath the spell - Lord Carnuss, a Demon Prince, Riddling Reaver himself? Otherwise Yaztromo would have to have been enslaved, probably by Baron Sukumvit, and you'd get one of those awful pyrrhic endings if you can't turn him good again.
