House in the Hills and The Tomb of Baron Gharoth

[danhem]

I have recently republished two of my solos, House in the Hills and The Tomb of Baron Gharoth. They have color covers and black and white interior art. Both are available as pdfs at Your Games Now (www.yourgamesnow.com/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=116).


HOUSE IN THE HILLS
You were ambushed by a group of thugs on your way through the dense woods near your home. They took everything and left you for dead. You awoke to the sound of howling wolves and have been on the run ever since. It is now after sunset and your strength is failing. The wolves are closer that they have been all day. Suddenly, just ahead you see the outline of a small building on the next hilltop. It is illuminated by the moonlight, but all of the windows are dark. As you near it, you see the building is in a state of decay. But it may provide you shelter from the wolves until you can rest. There may even be weapons inside. Do you dare enter the HOUSE IN THE HILLS?

House in the Hills is a solitaire adventure designed to be played using the Tunnels and Trolls game system. This solo adventure contains 138 paragraphs and is suitable for a single, low-level, humanoid warrior with 10-20 personal adds.

THE TOMB OF BARON GHAROTH
The Baron has made you a very attractive offer. Enter his family tomb and retrieve the signet ring from the finger of his long-dead ancestor. He has offered you a substantial reward as well as the opportunity to keep any valuables you may find in your search of the crypts. It all sounds very simple until the Baron mentions that his great-great-great grandfather was also a necromancer. But before you can say another word, the Baron hands his guards a key and they lead you to THE TOMB OF BARON GHAROTH.

The Tomb of Baron Gharoth is a solitaire adventure designed to be played using the Tunnels and Trolls game system. This solo adventure contains 249 paragraphs and is suitable for a single, low- to mid-level, humaniod warrior with 30-40 personal adds.

I just died (more than once) in House in the Hills. This little gem is dark, creepy, evocative and neither a death trap nor a pushover. A couple of times I died through bad choices, once my luck just ran out in combat.

You might at first be put off b y starting with no equipment and a low level character, don't be. The adventure reminds me of the original Night of the Living Dead. An ordinary character trying to survive in an ordinary house, while surrounded by foes.

The character I took in was a Dwarf with only +6 adds, so things were stacked against me a bit, but it did not seem an unfair struggle.

I'm glad you liked House in the Hills Hrrrothgarrr, I really enjoyed writing that one. It is pretty hard on characters, but the one that survives will come out pretty well equipped.

Thanks for the exalt Mgtremaine. My RPGNow account took some time but it is now active. They were being very careful about allowing T&T items, which I fully understand.

Both solos are also available in print format once again through the Trollbridge Lulu storefront.

If anyone has played these I would be interested in hearing about your experiences. Send me a PM and let me know how you died...I mean did. ;D
