A high quality hood that drapes over the head and creates menacing shadows is a must-have.

Get some lumber, a lot of canned food, and a band of Kobolds. Those guys are insane at making traps, and boy are they some cheap labor. e: pretty weak on the beejay front tho

I don't think too much goes on in a crypt so you'll probably be bored until you're laid off. Take all of the tips provided thus far and apply them to working at Arby's.

It's customary that cryptkeepers be dead. Maybe you could rub yourself all over with rancid meat instead.

it's true that an older generation's cryptkeeper needed a healthy heaping of spooky to stay in business, but kids these days aren't serious about anything, least of all death and dying they want jokes and maybe even a lecherous gaze at their fleshier parts reminds them of what you miss so much about being alive, and what they'll soon be missing

ON THE OTHER HAND, if you can offer directions to a really good buried treasure, such as an extendable magical grappling hook, that is a shortcut to success in the cryptkeeping world

If you can make yourself look like Tony Todd that would be a big plus.

most cryptkeepers really fall down on keeping their crypts clean and tidy so you can really set yourself apart by mopping/dusting/etc on a regular basis

Keep some nice furniture around for the kids who break in in the middle of the night to hold a seance/have sex.

i suggest keeping items of middling value inside crates or jars, something that makes a big mess when it gets broken, and that you can put together with lots of others in a corner somewhere

booby traps are a plus, but they should have a consistent theme. decide in advance what kind of cryptkeeper you are: do you like water? maybe bats. if you got into a fight, would your tendency be to stand and fight, or run away? or maybe to attack from a distance? just some stuff to consider.

Consider placing an orb on the bottom level and then advertising it in adventure magazines.

well nobody is gonna praise you for creativity as an "undead" themed cryptkeeper, but why fix what ain't broken. it's all in the execution anyway. is there anything special about your bone minions, for instance? do they have sharp bones? red bones that scorch, or blue bones that freeze? do you have access to any floating-skull farms? a couple of these bad boys firing laser beams from their mouths can really help brighten up an otherwise dreary crypt!
