Oh and another question just came to me:
- If I'm in front of a door, and I choose to open it, do I see all monsters/furniture/doors in that room beyond the door I just opened, or could a monster hide in a corner to the direct left or right of said door?
I imagine my line of sight being V-shaped, when I'm still standing outside of the room. Or do you kind of "poke your head in" and look around when you open a door?
Well the rulebook says to layout all the contents of a room once the door has been opened, again this a lot easier on you as the GM as you don't have to worry about which corners of the room have been seen

- And imagine I'm still in a hallway (or a room) and I'm in front of a door to another room, which I open, but I don't go in. I check for hidden traps and doors at that point, do I only spot traps/doors in the hallway or room that I'm actually standing in, or can I see traps/doors through the opened door in the new room as well? (I though not, but just to be sure).
In my games I allow Heroes to search a room for Traps from the doorway, this means they have a chance of detect a Trap that is right in front of a door which would otherwise be unavoidable, because you'd have to enter the room to search for Traps and thus get caught by the Trap in front of the doorway. The room they wish to search for traps must of course be free from monsters as usual.
To search for Secret Doors or Treasure however the Hero must be in the Room
