I have booked a fortnight's leave. So no although I am now in lockdown, my time is my own. Whilst I was doing my PhD I kept buying tunnels and trolls solos but not playing them.
I have been playing tunnels and trolls since I was 15 and now I am 55. however I would always appreciate the input of others as to which solos to play and in which order?
If you like you could view this as a curated list. You may assume I have every tunnels and trolls solo from everyone, suggest a sequence of 6 solos to be played one after the other with a fairly standard kindred character.
YOLO.

I've got a week off in May (originally intended for the local beer festival, now cancelled) and was planning do something similar.
I'd got as far as planning to run every character through Buffalo Castle once, then randomise a solo for any survivors!

That's an option.
After the Castle, what next?

What I did when I was organizing my solo's was to dig through them and find out what ADD's they covered and then put them in lowest to highest order.
Some are easy and it's on the back cover, others you have to read into them to find the numbers.

Morning, 5atbu ! It took me a little to find the old thread that I recalled but you might want to take a look at this resource jbbourgoin created: Detailed listing of T&T solos. It is a spreadsheet that was created in Open Office, my copy of LibreOffice opens it just fine. I expect MS Office will open it just fine but I am unable to confirm that at this moment. Within the spreadsheet is a detailed listing of 54 solos in alphabetical order: Title, Author, Kindred, Types, Levels, Adds, Place of Adventure, Gameplay Notes, Illustrators, Publication & First Publication, Granted, it was posted back in 2016 so newer solos won't be listed but, hey, it's an amazing start for anyone. Hope that helps! ~ Prof. |

What’s. A good Solo for a Hobb rogue? I realized I got a bunch from that bundle of holding bunch!

What’s. A good Solo for a Hobb rogue? I realized I got a bunch from that bundle of holding bunch! They are all good  Hobbs are resilient and lucky, an excellent kindred. If you want to use magic, you can self adjudicate most of the time - especially with straightforward stuff like TTYF. If you are playing by Deluxe rules you can cast a spell and generate a combat total. Recovery of WIZ if not stated in the solo is usually 1/ 5 paragraphs. Have fun! |

I am ashamed to say I haven't played a single solo.
Mind you, I have played almost a hundred online RPGs

You could play escape from Khost as a stand alone whit one of the pre-rolled charaters. If you have a high level fighter you could try misty woods. Blue frog tawern and Sword for hire can easily be played with the same charater. Also consult the Deluxe rules; in them you have a map with locations for some classic solos. Happy delving! |
