Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls: Adventurers Compendium

Everything Old is New Again As stretch goal for our Kickstarter supporters, the Fellowship of the Troll promised to republish almost all the old out-of-print, hard-to-find mini-solo adventures published in Sorcerer s Apprentice magazine back in the late 70s and 80s, and here they are, but in a format compatible with Deluxe. That means you can use characters with all 8 attributes instead of 6. Saving rolls always fail on a result of 3 (the dice come up 1 & 2) Remember that doubles add and roll over. You may use Talents where appropriate. For example, if you are asked to make a Luck saving roll in a Thieving situation, and you have the Thievery Talent, you can use that instead. When the number 6 is rolled in combat you score a point of spite damage against your foe whether you re winning or losing. Warriors may use their Warrior weapon bonuses. And so forth. Deluxe rules apply (especially with the solo adventures.) But, if you want to really get the feeling of what playing these games was like back in the 80s, and you have 5th edition, use those rules instead. Some of the old endings were abrupt, and they still are. In some situations your character dies, and that s all there is to it. But, I have written in some narrow escapes that weren’t there in the original for situations where I thought you just might be able to avoid the Reaper. Good luck with that! Ken St. Andre - Feb. 1, 2014 P.S.: We also are including Circle of Ice, another mini-solo that has been out of print for over 20 years, and several GM Adventures that appeared in Sorcerer s Apprentice. This book is meant to be more of a reprinting of these rare adventures rather than an updating. We hope you ll enjoy them in the old school spirit in which they are presented.
