@tunnels-and-trolls.bsky.social One of my favorite podcasts, Fear of a Black Dragon @gauntletrpg.bsky.social reviewed a M!M!/ T&T adventure I wrote. Tom prev said he didnt like T&T (!). In this review he says, "I finally understand why people like Tunnels & Trolls!"🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHJx...
What's your favourite bsky.app/profile/tunn... adventure (solo or GM)? I have a soft spot for Buffalo Castle, Labyrinth, Sorcerer's Solitaire and more recently Sea of Mystery. I really need to explore some of the more recent adventures though!

I checked out @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social's Tunnels & Trolls: New Age alpha quickstart/playtest out, and it's got a lot going on. It looks like an evolution of the system rather than a full reimagining. I hope they include the Beastkin and Seakin in the main book though, because... 1/2 #TTRPG

I heard that Tunnels & Trolls was supposed to use stunt index cards. Maybe you could recreate that approach with a campaign structure feature.

I saw T&T as a young 'un, and dismissed it as "too silly." I returned to it in adulthood, and was smitten by its whimsy and simplicity. I have come to love it, warts and all - and it is a bit warty. But it is, to my mind, a work of genius.
It feels like the D&D I played as a kid than D&D does.

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

Part of that is certainly a desire for simpler rules these days.
I made this meme, featuring real quotes about T&T from (L to R): Greg Costikyan, Lew Pulsipher, and William W. Connors.
