Tunnels & Terrors - Beta

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

Here it is, I hope it was worth the wait. ;D

Tunnels & Terrors: A journey into madness & adventure with stops in Lovecraft country & Howeird land!

Welcome to Tunnels & Terrors a Pulp-Horror variant for the Tunnels & Trolls engine.

Tunnels & Terrors takes place in the darkling collective world of classic pulp authors H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry Kuttner and many others.

A world of hidden realms, of lost civilizations, of unspeakable gods & unknowable secrets. Where insanity and forbidden truth walk hand in hand and your characters are the last dim flames flicker railing against the final dying of the light.

Here you will find rules for modern character types, arcane magic & occult tomes, skills, equipment & sinister enemies. The very depths of madness and a gateway into a world of dark mystery & terrifying adventure.

Howard's, Lovecraft's & Adventurers: Warriors, Wizards & Rogues in Tunnels & Terrors

In adapting the T&T core mechanics to period & modern horror campaigning it is necessary to update the three T&T core types of Warrior,Wizard & Rogue. Below you will find updates suitable for use in horror & pulp gaming.

Howard's (Warriors):
Referring to "Robert E. Howard" & his protagonists these are the fighting men of the Tunnels & Terrors setting.

The standard T&T Warriors armor doubling ability is replaced with more practical modern equivalents.

1: Firstly the Howard chooses between two fighting styles, Hard & Soft.

Hard Style: Practitioners get 1 melee armor point every odd level starting at 1st & +1 unarmed combat add every even level. Melee armor is good against melee, unarmed combat & hazards like falls, crashing through plate glass Windows & such, but not against firearms or spells.

Soft Style: Practitioners get +1 point every odd level to dodge & evade ( non-firearm attacks ) starting at 1st & +1 unarmed combat add every even level.

2: Hardened : Howards get a +6 die total bonus to any Shock SR against dead bodies, gore or danger.

3: Unarmed Combat Damage: Howards do 1D6 + adds in unarmed combat.

4: Steady Hand: Unlike other Types Howards only suffer half the standard Missile accuracy penalty for losing Stability.

5: Howards get a Skill Level every even level beginning with 2nd level.

6: Stability: Howards Stability is STR + 1 point for every point of IQ over 12.

7: Coping: Howards can choose three Coping mechanisms from the Coping Mechanism table that will allow them to regain 1d6 lost Stability when used. No Coping mechanism can be used more than once each adventure session.

8: Resources: Howards roll 3d6 to generate their Resource score.

9: Howards have no facility with magic & can never learn or cast spells or perform rituals or rites. However they can make use of objects invested with magical power if they are available.

Adventurers (Rogues):
Based on "Oklahoma Jones" ( you know who I mean ) and others that have one foot in the realms of action & one in the halls of knowledge. This includes adventuring professors, self-taught occultist & world trotting dilettantes.

1: Firstly Adventurers have a "Daring Do" bonus they can add half their level ( minimum 1 ) to any SR to leaping, scaling, evading, stunt driving or other adventurous activity.

2: Thrill Seeker: Adventurers have a +6 die total bonus to all Shock SR's that deal with mundane danger or peril. Such as hanging off of cliffs, jumping a car over a bridge, being trapped in a death trap or walking a tight-rope.

3: Unarmed Combat: Adventurers do 1d6 + 1/2 adds ( round up ) in unarmed and full damage + adds in armed melee combat.

4: Fluent: Adventurers have double the standard languages for their IQ score and if their IQ rises they can pick up familiarity with new languages at the same rate. Familiarity allows the ability to communicate, but not mastery of the new language.

5: Adventurers get a Skill Level every even level beginning with 2nd level.

6: Stability: Adventurers Stability is either STR or IQ + 1 point for every point of the attribute not chosen over 12.

7: Coping: Adventurers can choose three Coping mechanisms from the Coping Mechanism table that will allow them to regain 1d6 lost Stability when used. No Coping mechanism can be used more than once each adventure session.

8: Resources: Adventurers roll 4d6 to generate their Resource score.

9: Adventurers can understand and use magic & rituals, but will never have the mastery or the ability to defer the Shock effects of spells or the Lovecrafts ability to reduce the WIZ cost of magic by level.

Lovecrafts (Wizards):
Referring to H.P. Lovecraft & his protagonists these are the academics & wielders of forbidden secrets & powers in Tunnels & Terrors.

1: Firstly Lovecrafts receive a "Scholar" bonus of half their level number ( minimum 1 ) to all knowledge SR's.

2: Mental Adaptability: Lovecrafts get a +6 die total bonus to any Shock SR against forbidden knowledge, spells & magic.

3: Unarmed Combat: Lovecrafts do 1d6 + 1/2 adds ( round up ) in unarmed combat and full dice & 1/2 adds in armed melee combat.

4: Linguist: The Lovecraft have triple the standard languages for their IQ score and if their IQ rises they gain mastery in 1 new language for every IQ pointed added and familiarity in 2 additional languages. Also a Lovecraft may make a 2nd level SR on IQ to make themselves understood on a basic level with someone with who they don't share a common language.

5: Lovecrafts get a Skill Level every even level beginning with 2nd level.

6: Stability: Lovecrafts Stability is IQ + 1 point for every point of STR over 12.

7: Coping: Lovecrafts can choose three Coping mechanisms from the Coping Mechanism table that will allow them to regain 1d6 lost Stability when used. No Coping mechanism can be used more than once each adventure session.

8: Resources: Lovecrafts roll 5d6 to generate their Resource score.

9: Lovecrafts can understand and use magic & rituals. Also Lovecrafts can reduce the WIZ cost of any spell by 1 point for every level the Lovecraft is above the level of the spell. The Lovecraft only suffers half the normal Stability loss ( round up ) for casting a spell or performing a ritual.

Stability: All types now have a new derived attribute, Stability. This new attribute is used against Shock SR's to determine the mental effect of monsters, forbidden knowledge, ancient secrets, obscene cults, mutilated bodies & miscellaneous viscera.

Resource Score: Also all Tunnels & Terrors characters have a "Resource" score which is used to make SR's when a purchase is required or to determine the basic lifestyle of a character.

Starting Spells: It is up to you as the GM to decide if you want your characters to start knowing any spells. However unless you want your characters to start off with knowledge about the Mythos and have some idea of the hidden horrors that surround them I would recommend you let them learn spells as the game goes on.

Skills & Skill Levels: Characters receive a Skill Level on every even level beginning with 2nd. The player gets to chooses a skill, it can be anything they want and could be called on to make a SR against.

It could be Mechanics, or Thievery, Daredevil Piloting, Science or even Acrobatics. Once the Skill is chosen and approved by the GM the player can spend their Skill Level or Levels on it.

Any one Skill can have up to three levels applied to it.

Apprentice: 1D6

Journeyman: 2D6

Master: 3D6

For each level the character gets to roll an additional D6 on any SR that is covered by their skill. They can then choose the best 2 dice rolls from those thrown.

Example: Donny the delusional cultist is trying to find a tome hidden in the extensive private library of recently deceased occultist. The Gm sets the difficulty at 2nd SR versus IQ, due to the vast and unorganized nature of the collection. Luckily Donny has the "Research" skill at level 1, Donny rolls 3D6 ( the normal 2D6 plus an additional D6 for his skill level ) for a result of 5, 6 & 3. Now Donny picks the two best dice 5&6 and adds the to his IQ of 15 for a total of 26,. While searching in a dust corner Donny manages to uncover a rare copy of "Der Vermis Mysteriis", won't the other cultists be jealous!

The player may also choose to hold 1 or more of their skill dice in reserve in hopes of continuing a DARO series.

Example: Roberto the Gaucho has "Gunslinger" as a skill at level:3 and is in the middle of a gunfight with a cattle rustler hiding behind some rocks. The Gm rates the Missile Combat SR at 4th level due to the range and the fact the target is behind cover. Roberto decides to use 2 levels of his "Gunslinger" skill on the first roll, & hold 1 level in reserve hoping to get a DARO.

Roberto rolls 4D6 ( 2D6 plus 2D6 from his skill ) resulting in 4,5,3,4, Roberto chooses both 4's resulting in a DARO and then goes on to roll again. Now he decides to use his remaining 1 skill level and rolls 3D6 ( 2D6 plus 1D6 from his skill ) resulting in 1,4,4, once again Roberto chooses the double 4's resulting in another DARO. Now Roberto has no more skill dice to spend and rolls a straight 2D6, for a 4,2 result. Roberto's DEX is 15 plus the SR die total of 22 = 37 and a bad day for the rustler!

Resources & Resource SR's

New to Tunnels & Terrors and replacing the old cash monetary system is the Resources score. While characters can still find and spend cash treasure, most transactions are conducted using the players Resource score. In this way minor purchases can be dealt with out of hand without keeping track of small amounts of cash.

Significant influxes of cash or finding new jobs or patrons may raise the characters Resource score.

Resources SR's Examples:

1920's & 30's:

1st Level Resource SR's
A meal on the town
A second hand late model automobile
A months rent for a small rural house or a city apartment

A good quality suit

3rd Level Resource SR's

*Unlike most thrown missile weapons the grenade damages all targets in a ten foot radius instead of a specific individual.
*Grenades can be fickle, if a 3 ( 2+1 ) is thrown on the missile to hit SR something has gone wrong. If a Level one SR versus Luck is made the fuse peters out or the charge is a dud.

Firearms & Missile Combat In Tunnels & Terrors

The Tunnels & Terrors variant uses a version of the 5th edition Missile Combat rules.

DEX SR to Hit Chart

Distance SR to Hit
in yards
Close 0-20 1st
Mid 21-50 2nd
Far 51-100 3rd
Extreme 101+ 4th

Size Multiplier Chart

Multiplier Av. Size
Huge x1 8'+
Normal x2 4' to 7'
Small x3 3' to 1'
Tiny x4 12'' & Less

Unaware Target:
If firing at an unaware target the DEX SR is reduced by -2 levels to a minimum of 1st level. However after the first shot normal Missile Combat difficulties apply.

Close range shotgun fire:
If the character is using shot & not solid slug they may reduce the "Size Multiplier" by one level at close range.

Aimed Fire:
If a character spends a complete combat round aiming they can reduce the "Size Multiplier" by one level.

Example: Prof. Challenged levels his Elephant gun at a tiny homunculus ( "Size Multiplier" x4 ) taking careful aim before firing, bringing the "Size Multiplier" down form x4 to x3.

Telescopic Scope:
A properly adjusted Telescopic sight will reduce the range from "Extreme" or "Far" to "Mid" Range and the "Size Multiplier" down by one step ( "Tiny" to "Small" ). However it does nothing from closer than "Far" range.

Fan Fire:
Usable with non-automatic multi-round firearms like revolvers & semi-automatics. By firing 3 or more rounds the SR to hit is reduced by -1 level at "Close" to "Mid" range.

Burst Fire:
Usable by SMG's, Assault Rifles & LMG's, by firing a burst of 5 or more rounds the SR to hit is reduced by -1 level at "Close" to "Mid" range and 1d6 is added to the damage rating.

Full Automatic Fire:
Usable by SMG's, LMG's & most Assault Rifles by firing 30 or more rounds the SR to hit is reduced by -2 levels at "Close" to "Mid" range and 2d6 is added to the damage rating.

Reloading:
Characters can either take a combat round to reload or make a DEX SR to reload & fire in the same turn.

Pistols ( Automatics ): 1st level SR
Pistols ( Revolvers ): 2nd level SR
Shotgun ( Automatic ): 2nd level SR
Shotgun ( Double Barreled ): 1st level SR
Rifle ( Single Shot Bolt Action ): 1st level SR
Rifle ( Internal Magazine ): 2nd level SR / 1st level SR with Stripper Clips
SMG ( External Magazine ): 1st level SR
Assault Rifle ( External Magazine ): 1st level SR
LMG ( Belt-Fed ): 2nd level SR
LMG ( External Magazine ): 1st level SR

M.R. rated foes & Adds in Firearm Combat:
M.R. rated foes do not apply their Adds in firearm or other Missile Weapon combat, this reflects both the "Mook" inability to kill heroes in ranged combat and provides a higher level of survivability to PC's.

However if the Missile attack is a natural ability the M.R. rated foe gets the full use of it's Adds.

Firearms Damage SR:
If hit PC's make a first level SR versus LUCK and subtract any points over what is needed for success from the damage done by the firearm.

Death at negative CON equal to the original stat level:
A character survives until they have fallen to a negative CON equal to the original stat level. After a character has reached -10 CON the character is considered unconscious. If someone with medical or healing knowledge can make a successful Healing SR that brings the character back from a negative score under their CON equal to the original stat level to a negative score over their original CON stat the character is considered alive but unconscious and in critical condition.

Shock & Stability: A new ability & a new SR

Shock & Stability are the cornerstones of the Tunnels & Terrors variant.

Stability:
Stability is a measure of a characters mental toughness, as a characters Stability drops they become more vulnerable to the effects of shock & terror.

Stability is used to oppose Shock SR's, if the SR is passed the Stability is unaffected unless otherwise noted. If the Shock SR is failed the character loses the difference between the needed SR number and the characters Stability + dice total and If the SR is botched the Stability loss for the failed SR is doubled.

In cases were the Stability total is successful but the die roll is a botch the character loses a minimum of Shock SR level times 3 in stability.

Example: Miss Maple the geriatric detective opens a closet and a disemboweled corpse fall on her covering her in it's offal. Ms. Maple must make a 2nd level Shock SR on her Stability of 15. Ms. Maple rolls a 2+1 for a total of 18 and botching the Shock SR. Normally Ms. Maple would lose 7 points, however botching doubles that amount to 14 points of Stability. With a hysterical cry Ms. Maple attempts to extract herself from the body driven to the very brink of madness.

All Shock SR's are made with the characters current Stability score, so as a characters Stability falls Shock SR become progressively harder.

If a character loses all current "Stability" they go temporally insane and must roll on the "Temporary Insanity" table, and if the roll that takes the character under is a botched SR they acquire a permanent "Disorder" and must roll on the "Permanent Disorder" table.

A character's lost Stability is regained at 1 point for every turn they are not subjected to any Shock SR's.

As Stability falls a characters ability to calmly aim and fire a firearm in missile combat falls in correspondence with the Stability loss. For every point of Stability below the characters normal score remove 1 point from the characters missile combat accuracy with firearms.

A characters Coping Mechanisms can also be used to regain lost Stability.

Shock:
Shock is used to rate the detrimental value of individual terrors and horrific happenings on a characters Stability score.

Here is a list of common Shock value examples

Shock Values:
Unexpected Dead Bodies: 1st or 2nd Level Shock SR
Terrifying Occult ritual: 1st or 2nd Level Shock SR
Shocking gore or mutilations: 1st or 2nd Level Shock SR
Horrifying Secrets of the universe: 2nd or 3rd Level Shock SR
Seeing a Friend or Relation Die Horribly: 2nd or 3rd Level Shock SR
Seeing a Stranger Gruesomely Killed: 1st or 2nd Level Shock SR
Typical Monstrous Humanoid: 1st or 2nd Level Shock SR
Typical Non-Euclidean Horrors (Non-Humanoid Horrors): 2nd or 3rd Level Shock SR
Terrifying Natural Beasts: 0 to 1st Level Shock SR
Shocking Alien "Deities": 3rd or 4th Level Shock SR
Secret Gods of the Universe: 4th or 5th Level Shock SR
Being Horrifically wounded (more than 3/4 of CON in a round): 1st Level Shock SR
Engaging in Daredevil stunts: 1st Level Shock SR
Being put in Unusual Peril ( hanging from a cliff, being put in a death trap ): 1st Level Shock SR
Mundane Threats ( mobsters, nazis, cultists ): 0 or 1st Level Shock SR

Optional Shock situational modifiers:
At night: +1 to the Shock difficulty total
While Alone: +2 to the Shock difficulty total
In an unsettling location ( graveyard, morgue, insane asylum, sewer ): +1 to the Shock difficulty total
From Surprise: +2 to the Shock difficulty total

Non-Level SR Modifiers add or subtract their number to the dice total before success or failure is determined. All Modifiers are cumulative.

Coping with Stability Loss in Tunnels & Terrors

Heroes in Tunnels & Terrors can regain lost Stability by using Coping Mechanisms chosen during character generation.

Characters may choose their Coping Mechanism from the following table or develop their own with the GM's consent.

Each Coping Mechanism is a part of the character and each one has it's own unique advantages & disadvantages. Coping Mechanisms don't exist simply to help characters regain Stability, but to help flesh out their personalities.

Coping Mechanism Table:

Weapon fondling: A trusty gun a steady hand & I'll take on the world. Be it a gun, a knife or a stout stick, if I'm armed at least I have a chance. If this character is able to clean, maintain, check or simply find comfort in the presence of their weapons they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this predilection can lead the character into hasty decisions to keep ahold of their weapons. Also the characters obsessive behavior in regard to weapons will strike many people as a sign of deep psychological problems.

Research: If I can just understand, get a mental grip on the how and why, I can make this make sense. The love of learning the sequestered nooks and all the sweet serenity of books. If the character can take active steps, wether through investigations, book or computer research, or informed speculation they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However the character is consumed with a need to understand that can lead them deeper into danger on their personal quest. Also the character may feel the need to take critical time to understand a problem when action is needed.

Rationalizing: I can explain this, there is a rationale explanation for everything! If the character can construct a mundane explanation for the events that are unsettling them no mater how far fetched they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this may lead the character to make foolish conclusions and underestimate the true extent of the happenings they find themselves entangled in.

Drinking: Liquid courage is the order of the day and have a drink on me my friend. If this character is able to get a stiff belt they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However characters that overindulge can be left debilitated and in seeking their beverage of choice they may make foolhardy decisions. Also few people are willing to believe the wild stories of inebriates.

Drugs: Name your poison & pay your price. From cocaine to prescription tranquilizers, if you can snort it, inject it, swallow it or smoke it this covers it. If the character can engage in the use of their chosen substance they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this is illegal in most cases and can leave a character disabled if over indulged in. Most people will not take a drug addled character seriously and many will actively hold them in contempt.

Smoking: When the chips are down nothing soothes like a good nicotine fix. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. If the character can indulge in their habit they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However some people will react negatively to a smoker, the characters habit will give them away on dark nights, they can be smelled more easily than normal & if deprived of nicotine the character can get nervous & irritable.

Flirting: The chase is the thing & wether it is a subtle batting of the eyelashes or a direct pickup line this character is on the prowl. If the character can practice their charms on another or talk about love & relationships they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this character will quickly become known as a bit of a hound dog and a letch and more conservative NPC's may react badly to the characters amorous advances.

Lucky Item: Be it a religious icon, a coin, a rabbits foot, a picture or even a stuffed animal this character places great significance in a "Lucky" item or token. If the character can hold or concentrate on their "Lucky" item they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However people sometimes look askance at the characters predilection and if they lose their "Lucky" item they will be desperate to regain it.

Joking: Laugh & the world laughs with you, cry & you cry alone. A little levity can make even the bleakest situations livable. If the character manages to make a joke or pun to diffuse a bad situation or lighten a dark mood they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. In stressful situations some people will react badly to your levity and many people have a hard time taking you seriously.

Bluff & Bluster: If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bullshit. Sometimes if you can talk the talk you can fake the walk. If this character displays bravado to others or blusters their way through a difficult situation they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However while some people find your posturing harmless others will take it as a direct challenge or an affront and may seek to do something about it.

Preparations: Be prepared, it's not just the Boy Scouts motto it the first step to survival. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and never leave home without a plan. If the character can plan ahead, gather equipment or evaluate the situation they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this character can feel naked if they have to wing it, tend to over prepare and can be a bit of a pack-rat if given the chance.

Hysterics: Unreasoning fear, panic and raving, sometimes are your best defense against a too harsh world. If this character indulges in an episode of panic or raving they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this may brand the character as unreliable, unstable or at least earn them a hardy slap to snap them out of it.

Brooding: When things go bad you turn inward, inward lays safety and answers that can't be found in the outside world. If the character can take time to be with themselves or ignores others to think they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure. However this behavior comes across as moody and dismissive and NPC's won't react well when treated like a minor annoyance.

Comfort Eating: Fatty, sweet, salty or fried, food is always there. Wether from boredom or fear, this character likes a good nosh. If the character is able to indulge or even better over indulge in their personal eating preference they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this character will occasionally make bad decisions to gratify their appetites and some people react badly to your peccadillo.

Superstitions: Wether its throwing salt over your shoulder, not putting your hat on a bed, always having a red string around your wrist or never walking under a ladder this character collect superstitions. If the character is able to practice one of their personal superstitions they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this behavior can sometimes lead to bad decisions & some people take your habit as a lack of intelligence or sophistication.

Self-Pity: Nothing ever goes right & even worse it never goes right for you. The grass is always greener wherever you are not. If the character takes the time to whinge on about how unfair the situation is for them or takes the time to mope they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However in life and death situations this attitude can make you extremely unpopular, learn to keep it to yourself.

Optimist: Every cloud has a silver lining and tomorrow is another day. If you just keep a positive attitude things will work out. If your character can share their positive attitude with others or prove to themselves that everything is for the best they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However the characters constant chirpy sunniness can grate on even the hardest character and may raise tensions more than it defuses them.

Pessimism: If something can go wrong it will, that is the way of the world. Bad things happen & it does no good to be surprised when they do. If this character can favor others with their negative world view or prove to themselves that entropy rules the universe they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this attitude can rub people the wrong way and makes forming new bonds or friendships difficult.

Artistic Creation: To paint, to write, to sculpt or photograph is the true passion of life. Art defines this character and this character uses art to define their world. If this character can work on an artistic project or finds artistic inspiration they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However the characters artistic pretensions can rub some hard minded individuals the wrong way and pursuing art can get you in trouble.

Tough it out and make it through are the watch words for this character, If the character is able to tough it through an obstacle or ignore a privation they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this character can come across as grim, humorless and generally no fun, don't expect to be invited to a lot of parties.

Hedonist: Life is short & mysterious, so lets have a good time while we can. The best of everything is the motto of this character, wether it be clothes, dancing or fine wines all pleasant experiences are welcome. If this character can pamper themselves even in a small way they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. While not obsessed with pleasure this character can come across as self-centered and shallow and may have trouble with serious minded individuals not valuing their ideas & opinions.

Mother Hen: As long as you take care of everyone else things will workout all right. This character will fuss and fret over others, even if their attentions are unwanted. If the character is able to aid or fuss over someone they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this can lead to nagging or dominating behavior and treating others like unruly children, not the best plan to win friends.

Religious Fervor: God ( or Gods ) is in his heaven and all is right with the world, your character can draw inner strength through the faith they have in their religion. If the character can focus on or call on their religion they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However the faith they have in their religion can blind them to facts outside their accepted cosmology and lead them to place faith in powers or beings that may not be there when called upon.

Denial: If something threatens you it must be a mistake, a coincidence or simply not happening. If the character is able to deny a threat or uncomfortable fact they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this blind denial can lead the character to make rash decisions and be oblivious to the seriousness of a situation.

Adrenaline Junkie: When the world is a scary place you have to throw caution to the wind and show it who's boss. Taking an unnecessary risk can allow this character to recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this can lead to rash behavior, a lack of foresight and a general difficulty in being taken seriously.

Sarcasm: When the chips are down the snark comes out for this character. When engaging in sarcastic banter they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However this habit can be grating and may rub some NPC's the wrong way.

Gambling: A shuffle of the cards, a roll of the dice or a spin of the roulette wheel can set this characters heart afire. If the character engages in gambling or gamesmanship they can recover 1d6 stability once an adventure session. However the temptations of gambling can sometimes overcome the characters good sense and chances can have an unhealthy fascination for them.

Obsession: The character has an overriding obsession, it could be romance books, old movies, opera or gourmet cuisine. If they indulge themselves in their obsession they recover 1d6 Stability once an adventure session. However the character may also do stupid things to follow their obsession and they have a tendency to ramble on about it if given the chance.

Important Notes:
Your players may try to get you to allow Coping Mechanisms like "Bully" or "Sadism", however anything that will be abused to the detriment of the enjoyment of the game or the players should not be permitted.

Players who seek to ruin the game for others are asking for adventure point penalties & may well find themselves the primary target of monster attacks.

Medicine & Healing in Tunnels & Terrors

Seeing that PC's in Tunnels & Terrors do not have access to the same kind of magical healing that characters in standard T&T have it becomes necessary to provide them with an alternative to simply spending weeks convalescing to heal even minor wounds.

All characters heal 10% of current CON or a minimum of 1 point a day. Unless the wound is complicated by disease or the character is suffering from an illness.

Characters or PC's with a background in medicine or healing can make a healing SR to clean, dress and care for a wound greatly reducing or eliminating the severity of the injury.

The Healing or Medical SR is an IQ based, 1d6 CON is healed per level of SR attempted usable once per wound, healing not to exceed the amount of said wound. Each level of SR counts for a full game turn ( I.E. ten minutes ) in game time.

Also tending wounds leads to increased natural healing per day, all characters heal 10% of current CON or a minimum of 1 point a day. Unless the wound is complicated by disease or the character is suffering from an illness. With proper medical care this is doubled.

Both uses of the Healing or Medical SR assume that the healer has access to the proper medical supplies

Diseases and poisons can also be treated with Healing or Medical SR's, the GM should set a SR based on the virulence of the disease or poison and the healer must both make the SR and have access to the proper means of treating the ailment.

Broken bones and other specific wounds can be treated, but not instantly healed and may call for attribute penalties until they have had time to properly heal. A Healing or Medical SR can make sure that bones are set straight, cauterize lost limbs and generally improve the characters chance of survival.

In case of a really horrible botch ( a 3 on two dice ) feel free to use your imagination. It should not outright kill the character receiving treatment, but besides that feel free to make things uncomfortable for the recipient.

Sample Disease SR's:
Dysentery: 1st Level SR
Cold / Flu: 1st Level SR
Pneumonia: 2nd to 3rd Level SR
Wound Infection: 1st to 3rd Level SR
Gangrene Dry and Gas: 1st to 2nd for Dry / 2nd to 4th for Gas failure requires amputation
Salmonella: 1st to 2nd Level SR


Sample Specific Wound SR's:
Broken Limb: 1st to 2nd Level SR
Broke Ribs: 1st to 3rd Level SR
Severed Limb: 1st to 3rd Level SR
Major Bleeding: 1st to 2nd Level SR
Internal Bleeding: 2nd to 4th Level SR
Misc Minor Surgery: 1st to 2nd Level SR
Misc Major Surgery: 2nd to 4th Level SR

Tunnels & Terrors Spell Book : Magic most Foul & Rites most Arcane

Books of Forbidden Knowledge & Arcane Lore

Characters may seek out, our find books of arcane knowledge and magic to further their understanding of the mysterious forces that beset them in T&T. Doing so has both it's rewards and it's perils.

Here is a selection of forbidden tomes in which to conceal spells and hidden knowledge.

Spells in Mythos Tomes: The GM must decide what spells he want the characters to find in any tome they come across.

Remember most Mythos tomes are moldering books that may not be complete and may be missing whole sections or key pages or expurgated later printings that may have edited out small details that would allow a character to learn a spell.

Its up to you to decide what spells you want your PC's to find and what spells to include in the books and notes their characters come across.

Learning Spells From Texts & Grimoires: If a character finds a spell listed in a tome they may then attempt to learn that spell.

For each level of spell it takes a full day of study ( eight hours ) to learn the spell.

After the required study period the character must make a 1st level SR on IQ to fully grasp the nature of the spell and be able to put it to use.

A character may also increase their study time a day or cram to learn a spell faster.

The most basic method is too double the characters study time a day ( sixteen hours a day, rather than eight ). This cuts the required spell study time in half, at the end of which the character must make a 2nd level SR on IQ to fully grasp the spell.

In the direst need a character may attempt to cast a spell directly from a tome without learning it first. All the required materials are still needed, the Shock SR to cast the spell is increased by 1 level and the character must also make a 3rd level SR on IQ to successfully cast the spell.

Sample Books: Here are a few example tomes to get you started.

The Necronomicon
Considered by many to be the definitive human work on the hidden nature of the universe, the Necronomicon by the mad Arab Abd al-Azard blends dream like poetry with manic seemingly first hand accounts of phenomenon.
The Original Arabic
Profusely illustrated and the most complete version known, the Original Arabic version is not known to survive in the modern world. Although who knows what exists in the lost libraries and hidden attics of the world.
Shock Value: 4th level
Study Bonus: +8 bonus to all knowledge SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods and their ancient cults.
Reference Bonus: An additional +5 bonus can be applied to SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods and their ancient cults if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: Any roll under 5 that fails the required Shock SR will leave the reader with a Permanent Disorder from the appropriate table.
Notes: Easily both the most accurate and soul shattering of the known Mythos tomes, the Necronomicon in it's original arabic personifies the double-edged nature of Mythos
The Greek Translation
Unlike later translations the Greek has accurate copies of most of the charts and diagrams of the Original Arabic. While not as complete as the original it is the most accurate version in a western tongue. However it is not known to have survived, it was widely burned by the Inquisition and other more secular institutions. Although it is rumored that a copy may exist in the Vatican's Z collection.
Shock Value: 3rd Level
Study Bonus: +6 bonus to all knowledge SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods and their ancient cults.
Reference Bonus: An additional +4 bonus can be applied to SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods and their ancient cults if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: Any roll under 5 that fails the required Shock SR will leave the reader with a Permanent Disorder from the appropriate table.
Notes: An existing copy of the Greek translation coming to light would cause a major stir in both the rare book and anthropological communities. However Mythos involvement is certain to follow such a discovery.
The Latin Translation
The most complete of the surviving editions, the Latin is known to have lost most of the charts and diagram and those that survive are of dubious authenticity. At least four copies are known to publicly exist, a complete text at Miskatonic University, another in the British Museum, A damaged copy at the University of Buenos Aires and copy at the University of Heidelberg. As well as the known copies there exist copies, many in various states of disrepair in private collections around the world.
Shock Value: 3rd Level
Study Bonus: +4 bonus to all knowledge SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods and their ancient cults.
Reference Bonus: An additional +2 bonus can be applied to SR's dealing with the major figures of the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods and their ancient cults if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: Any roll under 5 that fails the required Shock SR will leave the reader with a Permanent Disorder from the appropriate table.
Notes: Any copies of the Latin translation the PC's are likely to encounter would be fragmentary in nature and might well count as a "Notes & Lesser Translations" edition of the superior kind. If it were to become know that the PC's had a complete copy of the Latin translation interest and scrutiny, both mundane and supernatural is sure to follow.
Notes & Lesser Translations
The most common way to encounter the writings of the mad Arab, many partial, expurgated, reinterpreted or simply incomplete versions have been printed, hand copied or even recorded to phonographic record. These are of doubtful use to a scholar & much of what they have to tell is erroneous or dangerously misunderstood.
Shock Value: 1st to 3rd Level
Study Bonus: +1 to +3 on various aspects or figures of the Mythos, depending on the contents of the notes or translation.
Reference Bonus: +1 to +2 on the aspects of the Mythos covered by the tome if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: Without the full implications revealed by a complete & unexpurgated copy of the Necronomicon's text the penalty lessons to inflicting a Permanent Disorder only if the failed Shock SR brings the reader below 0 Stability.
Notes: The character and description of the hundreds of different texts and recordings that comprise this category would itself fill volumes. Each one should be modeled by the GM to fit the needs and purpose of the adventures they are running.

Unausprechlichen Kulten ( The book of the Nameless Cults )
Description: Written by Friedrich Wilhelm Von Junzt after many years infiltrating secret cults, mystic societies and forbidden orders. It details the rites, origins, beliefs and practices of the societies he joined, often at great personal risk to himself. Von Junzt began work on a second volume, but was found murdered in his rooms, his throat torn out with inhuman claws while in a locked room.
Shock Value: 3rd
Study Bonus: +3 bonus to all knowledge SR's dealing with cults their practices and rites.
Reference Bonus: +2 to all knowledge SR's dealing with cults their practices and rites if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: If the reader falls bellow 0 Stability from studying the text or botches their Shock SR ( a roll of 1+2 on 2d6 ) they develops the Paranoia disorder from the Permanent Disorders table.
Notes: likely to contain various Lesser and greater Summoning spells as well as Communion with Great Old one and Abjuring spells.

The People of the Monolith
"They say foul beings of Old Times still lurk,
In dark forgotten corners of the world,
And gates still gape to loose,
On certain nights, Shapes pent in Hell" - Justin Geoffrey, People of the Monolith
Description: A book of poems by the American writer Justin Geoffrey written after h slept beneath a certain ill favored black stone near the village of Stregoicavar in the mountains of Hungary. He returned to America a changed man. Following the publishing of this his final collection of poetry he spiraled into dissipation and addiction and within a few short years was committed to an asylum where he died raving within months of his admission. There are rumors of later poems written while at the height of his madness in the asylum, but these rumors have never been confirmed.
Shock Value: 1st level, 2nd level if the IQ SR for learning the deeper meaning is successful.
Study Bonus: If the reader makes a 1st level SR versus IQ they gain a +2 bonus to all knowledge SR's concerning the Great Old One Golgoroth and it's cults.
Reference Bonus: A further +1 to knowledge SR's concerning the Great Old One Golgoroth and it's cults if the book is available for direct reference.
Shock Failure Penalty: If the Shock SR is botched ( a roll of 1+2 on 2d6 ) or the Shock SR brings the PC below 0 Stability they are afflicted with horrific nightmares of a squatting toad-like thing atop a massive black monolith being worshipped by naked human cultists in bloody and orgastic rights.
Notes: "The People of the Monolith" is an excellent example of a Mythos inspired text written by someone without full understanding of the experiences that they are detailing. If you choose to include any spells in "The People of the Monolith" I would recommend calling for an IQ SR to decipher them from the prose and rework them into a usable form.

*
Shock Value: The level of the Shock SR a character will face if the study the listed text.
Study Bonus: The permanent bonus that studying the text will confer on a character that studies it.
Reference Bonus: The additional bonus that having the text available as a reference will give the character.
Shock Failure Penalty: The penalty that failing the texts Shock SR will have on the studying character.

Spells & Rites of the Mythos

The standard spells of T&T don't really fit in with the otherworldly horror of "Tunnels & Terrors" so here is a sampling of spells for use in horror gaming.

Remember no spell is official unless you feel that it fits in your game world.

1st Level Spells

Name: Baleful Gaze of Hastur
Level: 1st
Cost: 8 points
Range: Line of sight
Power Up: Double cost to increase the number of targets and double cost for every round after the first.
Duration: One combat round
Shock Value to Cast: 1st level SR
Shock Value to Witness: The spell calls for a 1st level Shock SR from witnesses, not only because of the swirling spectral energies that race back and forth from the caster to the target, but because of the unnatural effect it has on the minds of witnesses.
Availability: Found in many grimoires, the go to spell for many insane cult leaders.
Needed Materials: None
Description: The caster and the target or targets engage in an IQ versus IQ SR battle the higher total wins, if the caster defeats the target they are stunned for the round and must take the difference between in damage off their Con score.
Example: Donny the delusional cultist casts "Baleful Gaze of Hastur" on Burt the PI. Donny has an IQ of 15 and Burt has an IQ of 12 each makes a SR on IQ: Donny rolls 10 and Burt rolls a 7, Donny's total is 22 & Burt's is 19. Burt is stunned for the round and must take 3 points off his Con.

Shock Value to Cast: None
Shock Value to Witness: 1st level if the effects are unexpected, also if the object or entity has a "Shock Value" that should be applied as well.
Availability: Found in many Mythos notes, books and in all but the most expurgated copies of the "Necronomicon".
Needed Materials: Salt and various other ingredients, as long as the ritual is properly completed most of the more exotic ingredients can be substituted for more common substances.

Name: Sense Emanations
Level: 1st

Duration: 1 combat Turn
Shock Value to Cast: Dependent on surroundings and the casters level of success or failure. Generally from none to 2nd level Shock SR.
Shock Value to Witness: While
Availability: A common Mythos spell and can also be found taught as a mental discipline by many orders and cults.
Needed Materials: None
Description: The psychic ability to read the surroundings of the caster to the extent of success or failure of the spells required IQ SR.
Critical Failure: The caster will receive a deceptive feeling of the nature of the area scanned. It may also open the caster up psychic assault from areas that have witnessed truly horrific incidents. In those cases the GM should decide what level of Shock SR the caster is subjected to, generally from 1st to 2nd level.
Failure: The caster is unable to get any strong feeling as to the nature of the area scanned.
1st Level Success: The caster will get a general idea of the scanned area, vague bad feelings from areas where evil acts have been performed or nebulas feelings of danger from an area with a lurking threat.
2nd Level Success: Yields a more specific results than a 1st level success, scanning a area of evil or mythos activity might get the caster an idea of what action left the psychic imprint on the area, scanning an area for danger would likely give a vague location of where the danger is located in the area scanned.
3rd Level Success: Begins to give specific answers to the casters efforts. An area of where a victim was murdered will give flashes of the incident although details will be hazy, an area containing a threat will reveal a the location and a feeling of the nature of the threat although no detailed information is forthcoming.
4th Level Success: Detailed information is revealed, any incident that left a permanent impression on the area will be readily available to the caster, an area containing a threat will reveal the nature, location and intent of the threat. However the detail from this level of success can be as terrifying as being a witness to the original act that left the impression, sometimes this will call for a Shock SR, generally from 1st to 2nd level in severity.
Example: Donny the delusional cultist is trying to find out what went wrong at the last coven meeting he skipped and casts "Sense Emanations" in the blood spattered, but deserted warehouse his compatriots use to perform their heinous rights. Donny makes an IQ SR and rolls 4+4 (like all SR's doubles add & rollover) 5+4 plus his IQ of 15 = 32 a 3rd level success. Donny gets flashes of a summoning gone wrong and a nebulas image of a horrific beast tearing through his comrades and carrying of their bodies. It looks like its time for Donny to find some new friends!

Name: Communion with Outer God
Level: 4th

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

Tunnels & Terrors Bestiary: Cultist & Monsters & Beasties, Oh My!

A few notes on Great Old Ones and Outer Gods: Encounters with Great Old Ones and Outer Gods should be used sparingly if at all. Avatars are an excellent option for adding weight and tension to a climax without invoking the entities themselves.

A few notes on horror, monster tactics and the "Big Game Hunter" trap: Unlike regular T&T straight forward combat should rarely occur in "Tunnels & Terrors".

Each creature or entity should act in whatever way best allows it to face the characters, Ghouls will lure characters into ambushes and attempt to draw PC's underground, cultists will use influence over local Law Enforcement or community leaders to cover up their plans, Byakhee will wait for the characters to be unprotected and in the open before the fall from the skies to attack.

Too many standup battle with the players blazing away with guns and grenades will quickly degenerate your carefully laid-out horror game into a modern dungeon or "Big Game" monster hunt. There is nothing wrong with this style of game, but if it's not what you intended it can lead to frustration for both the players and the GM.

As GM your main instruments are paranoia and the players own imaginations, use the games creatures and situations to play on these and you won't go far wrong

A few hundred or thousand years will lead the Hound to the character in a matter of days, a million years or more a week, possible two, hundreds of millions or billions of years a month or more. However it is impossible to run far enough to escape the Hounds. The only hope is to destroy the Hound or Hounds tracking the character.

All characters taking damage from a hound or directly attacking a Hound in melee must make a 2nd level SR on LUCK or DEX to avoid the Ichor each round they are in contact with the Hound.

If the hound has won the melee it can choose instead to pierce it's victim with it's tongue draining 1D6 LUCK and WIZ a round.

They hunt the corridors of time draining those that come to their attention of their essences. Some have speculated that the Hounds of Tindalos guard time or that they use the corridors of time to hunt for those beings that possess the essence they lack. Whichever is true the Hounds of Tindalos are implacable hunters and only death and destruction will deter them from their course.

Unnatural Durability: Shoggoths are remarkably hardy and their constantly shifting arrangement of organs and flesh provide them with 16 points of armor protection and firearms, fire, acid and cold do half rolled damage against the Shoggoths implacable bulk.
Crushing Grasp: If the Shoggoth generates 4 or more points of spite damage it can choose to engulf a victim, drawing them into it's ever shifting body. The character drawn within must make a 3rd level SR on STR or LUCK or be drawn inside. If engulfed the character must take the full damage done by the Shoggoth the next turn. Should they survive the engulfed character can make another 3rd level SR on STR or LUCK to escape the Shoggoth's grasp.
Slaves of the Great Old Ones: Created by the Elder Things the Shoggoths are now the servants and minions of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods. They are effected by the spells "Command", "Abjure" and are repelled by the "Elder Sign".
Summoning Level: Major
Description: Huge amorphous beings, composed of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly luminous, eyes and ropey tentacle limbs continually being generated and absorbed by it's mass, chanting the cry of the Shoggoth "Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li". Shoggoths began as the biological machines and slaves of the Elder Things. Purely marine creatures a random mutation allowed a small minority to dwell outside the sea and gain a dim self awareness. The Elder Things tried to control the new mutants, but they were unable to completely destroy the Shoggoth as their society had come to greatly rely on the Shoggoths slave labor. Later after a ruinous war between the Elder things and the Great Old Ones the descendants of the first mutants more intelligent and powerful than before rebelled against the Elder Things and drove off or destroyed their former masters. Now the Shoggoths dwell in the forgotten corners of the world, some controlled by the Deep Ones or hiding in the forgotten cities of the Elder Things or serving the cults of the Great Old Ones.

M.R. 1 / CON: 250

Shock Value Repeated: 0 level / Should Tawil At'Umr remove his all concealing cloak and reveal it's true form the Shock Value increases to 5th
Special Abilities:
Avatar: As an Avatar of Yog-Sothoth Tawil At'Umr cannot truly be destroyed and should Tawil At'Umr's current physical vessel be destroyed it will re-coalesce after the passing of a few minutes or hours. If for some reason Tawil At'Umr is encountered outside the Halls of the Ultimate Gate destroying his current physical form will return Tawil At'Umr there.
Trans-Dimensional Invulnerability: Existing on multiple planes and across countless dimensions at once Tawil At'Umr is invulnerable to all non-magical attack and damage.

Touch of Destruction: Tawil At'Umr can transport every separate molecule of a character, being or object across a million dimensions and light-years utterly destroying it.
Guardian of the Halls of The Ultimate Gate: Beyond the Gate of the Silver Key lays the Halls of the Ultimate Gate where worthy supplicants can find passage through time and space. Tawil At'Umr knows the ceremonies that will open the Ultimate Gate and judges the worthiness of those who pass through the Gate of the Silver Key. Those who are worthy may pass through the Ultimate Gate to pursue their dreams or purpose.
Summoning Level: Outer God
Description: Tawil At'Umr watches over the Ultimate Gate and is the only named individual among the near omnipotent Ancient Ones. Tawil At'Umr appears as a dark man veiled in a gossamer shimmering cloak and speaks with many voices. Should someone be unwise enough to remove Tawil At'Umr's cloak they will witness all spaces and planes at once and the horrible cosmic truth will burn and sear the mind of anyone who witnesses it.

Shock Value Initial: This is the level of Shock SR called for the first time a character witnesses a creature or entity. This can be modified by situational modifiers or events. Stumbling on a thousand cultist in a giant underground temple performing awful rights will certainly call for a higher Shock SR level than 0, remember to use your best judgment as GM.
Shock Value Repeated: This is the level of Shock SR called for repeated viewings or interactions with a creature or entity. This can be modified by situational modifiers or events. Even a creature that the characters have seen a hundred times still has the potential to frighten and unnerve if it jumps out unexpectedly.
Summoning Level: The level of spell necessary to Summon the creature or entity.

Here it is, I hope it was worth the wait. ;D

Whoa! That's an impressive tome you've put together, TKD! I'll read through it as I can and offer any insight I see.

Roberto decides to use 2 levels of his "Gunslinger" skill on the first roll, & hold 1 level in reserve hoping to get a DARO.

I think in this example you meant to have Roberto's Gunslinging skill set to Master for 3d6. Otherwise, how would he save one die and roll two if his skill level is only Journeyman with 2d6?

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

AK, Holy Typo Batman!

Well spotted sir!

I shall correct that right away.

[mahrundl]

T-K-D, I just won't have time to read through this in detail any time soon, and I doubt that I'll ever play or run it (what players I have aren't really into horror), but I'm going to Exalt you for a massively impressive piece of work!

When will the PDF be done? ;D

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

Thank you very much sir! ;D

Unfortunately I have no idea how to construct a PDF file.

However I have sent it in to "that guy" and so far he seems very positive about it so hopefully it will appear in a future issue of "Hobbit Hole".......maybe across two issues.

It ended up a bit, shall we say LARGER than I intended.

I just hope the meat of it survives the editing process.

[order99]

May I suggest OpenOffice?

www.openoffice.org/

There's a Windows and a Linux version available-my NeoOffice for Mac is a variant. One of the best parts of this suite is the Instant PDF creator-press a button and-Voila!

I'm sure there are other PDF creators out there too, free and otherwise...
