Tunnels & Trolls Bundle of Holding

For some reason, Tunnels and Trolls has become intimately associated with solo role-playing. Personally, I have always used T&T to run 'normal' adventures (i.e., with a group of players) but I know that, for a lot of RPGers, "T&T" and "solo play" are almost synonymous.

Anyway, if you click here, you will be magically transported to a 'bundle' offer that will let you purchase 12 T&T solo adventures for a mere USD 7.95.

Amongst the 12 PDFs are well-known classics such as Naked Doom, Sewers of Oblivion and Deathtrap Equalizer.

I love T&T's Old School art


If you pay above the threshold price of USD 18.93, you also get the following:

 - the deluxe Tunnels & Trolls rules, my favourite incarnation of the T&T rules
 - Monsters! Monsters!, a spin-off of T&T that lets you play 'the bad guys' — it's really hilarious
 - the Adventurers Compendium, an 88-page collection of twelve classic adventures from the 1970s/1980s — Old School at its best
 - four extra 'GM' (i.e., non-solo) adventures

At USD 18.93 it's a steal. It's a shame I already own 90% of the stuff listed above.

RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha News

Short blog post about the latest news with regards to RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, the latest incarnation of our favourite Bronze Age fantasy role-playing game.

RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha is at last available in dead tree. It comes in two formats: the normal hardbound, and a leatherette edition. If you have purchased the PDF from the Chaosium web-site, you should have received the e-mail with the discount coupon by now.

The RQG Gamemaster Screen Pack is available as a PDF. Despite its name, it is much more than a mere GM screen since it contains an updated gazetteer of Sartar and the Dragon Pass area, three adventures tailored for Colymar starting players (which can be easily altered for other groups of PCs), and much more.

The RQG core book, the RQG Bestiary and the GM Screen Pack are designed to fit in the slipcase that Chaosium will release later this year.
