Tunnels & Trolls 5E (1979). Rolled 3,3,3 for DEX, which triples add & roll over for Humans (Ken's house rule, in my print copy). I could've done a really good Wizard, but that doesn't take much advantage of the DEX, Rogue or Warrior does. If he lives, he can learn some spells. Also rolled 60 for gold, so almost naked spear guy.

Seeing as how you can't get it PoD and offset prints are crazy expensive even if you can find one, I ordered a ring-bound copy of Deluxe #tunnelsAndTrolls from Lulu.

Price was good (around £15) though I did pick the cheapest paper. The text is huge - I could have gone half letter, but it would have been just as hugely thick. It's about 360 pages.

I don't know whether I will ever run it but I'm curious about how it works and paper books are easier to read and understand than PDFs. #osr #ttrpg

I ran a oneshot of Tunnels & Trolls 1E

It was a fun history experience, even if in today's terms its kinda ... a bad game.

The game itself feels pretty much incomplete. You're going to run into ambiguities and missing rules almost instantly (movement? Dungeon rounds? resolution mechanic? good luck. You'll need it, because luck is the best stat). It feels like what it is: The work of someone who read a copy of oD&D, didn't really get it, and then hacked out something like it based on what he thought it was.

Which given that it was written when the genre didn't know what it was ... is fair. It's got a lot of interesting notions, like how strength and dexterity are casting stats, monster ratings, group combat resolution, a bunch of fun, zany spells, and an entirely overwrought 'berserk' mechanic. It could have used a lot more playtesting though.

Today I couldn't imagine running a campaign in this. Certainly many did, and it must have been crazy. I would get frustrated with it and begin writing out my own hack. I tried to think of what I'd do if I was around in 1975 and trying to run this thing. I think I would have done the same (and with oD&D), but who knows.

Still. We ran a dungeon, laughed, had a good time. I would like to try a later edition of T&T to see the arc of its evolution.

BundleOfHolding has three Tunnels and Trolls bundles going on.

Solitaire
GameMaster
Adventures

Each bundle comes with some unique modules & I don't imagine this amount of content will be offered for this price again, especially with the new edition coming out.

There are just under 4 days left to purchase these if you are interested. I have many of these physically, but I'm definitely going to snag these so I can have them digitally as well.

Rebellion is running a Kickstarter for its new RPG that borrows the name, but at the same time the original Tunnels & Trolls line is discounted at DriveThruRPG.

Some terrific stuff there, including the all systems Citybook range.
