Has anyone run this, been a character in it or otherwise spent some serious time with it? If so, can you message me?
Thank you.

I ran it more than a year ago. I reworked some things that i saw as flaws, but the group i ran it for still had a very good time

Devadasi's critical review of the adventure starts here, and I found her critique very shrewd and her revisions very cool. Devadasi, I don't know if you offered any critical feedback to Steve for the Deluxe edition Betas, but if you did, I really hope they gave it priority! |

I supplied one set of eyes doing a once-over on the final GM adventure (which is in three parts). In my post, I was looking for feedback on how people handled the heat resistant potions (which have changed since the preview). My priority was looking for ambiguities with regards to the rules. (Yes, I still drink the Flavor-Aid regarding the T&T ethos, but as a solo writer, my sect demands that adjudication be strictly optional.)
This meant whenever there were words such as "resistance" or "surprise" or "parry" without some form quantification, I raised red flags. Accessibility and ease of use to new GMs may be a critical component of DT&T becoming a rebirth and not a swan song.

You're doing the Lord's work, Mosker.

So yeah, was just about to ask something similar having just acquired this adventure today.
I'll likely use the Japan rules for it but there are some oddities. Eg. Is there any roll needed to pass the Lava Curtain? Would jumps across lava simply be a Strength SR with a fail meaning death?
And how do you pronounce Z'Tpozz? Zutuhpoze? Is it a play on words I'm not seeing?
Basically I need a one-session adventure to try TnT out with newbies (myself Inc.) in 4 hours. One newbie will have never played an RPG, the others quite experienced in other RPGs. 4-5 players.
It's always nice to see other people's thoughts on them before I run them, especially if I don't get a chance to play through it first at a convention.

....I didn't realize it was fleshed out further in the dT&T rulebook. Sigh, I eventually need a physical copy. PDFs are useless in my hands.

Yeah, printed out the adventure. I already started it with the free RPG Day version which is fairly different.
I have stacks of printed pdfs and honestly would rather burn them all and get printed versions from Lulu.
I have in the past merged gaming Zines PDFs into a large book and used Lulu to print them for my own usage.
I really don't find PDFs readable especially when there are no cross-reference links. Even then, I need a book.
I try to use my Kobo for books and am getting another crappy tablet to give comics a try but ultimately I read dead tree and end up not reading the gigabytes of PDFs I've wasted time and money on.
Perhaps I should try and take the dT&T PDf and turn it into an epub which might work better.

When its stuff I am going to refer to I get it printed and cell bound. I did that for 7e so my players had a reference copy, and I did it for my One Ring rules when we had a long time to wait for the printed version. The core rules of T&T (spells apart) really can come down to a few pages, especially if you have characters generated. www.rpgnow.com/product/54407/Tunnels--Trolls-Free-RulebookPrint out just the rules from this; make sure the players know what their spells do, and you do have the core system at your finger tips. |

Yeah, I guess basically all I need is a big Kindred list and extensive weapons (with dex/strength). I guess armour too and then just the first few levels of spells. For the players anyway.
It would be cool if next time they split the Player's book from the GM book so you could buy one GM and four Player's.

Okay, the Kindred list was easy. One page, front and back. Is there a one-page arms and armour list?
