Old to RPG, New to T&T

[valdus]

As I like to say, I am an ancient roleplqyer. Raised on that rival red box for decades. 

But I have had the T&T rule books for some time. I have the 7th edition in a can and plan on going solo with it in the wizard dawn dungeon door. That brings me to my first uestion, would anyone recommend venturing with a group of character solo? Say 3-4? I have played a lot of 4AD and like the group format in solo. 

Also I would like to get in on a casual pbp post game. Any openings?

While I can't comment on the wizard dawn dungeon door (had to google it and if it's the one I found it seems to be an aide to filling out a dungeon) I'll say that you'll find the T&T solo's available are designed for a single character or 2 at a pinch (if you do one's harder than the add's you have on 1 character) and taking a full party in will make them way too easy. Even the harder one's I've taken 2 characters in become easy.

Now if you're going to use something like one of the old MicroGames, Dark City Games or even SPI's DeathMaze than those are designed for a dungeon party as are some of the solo's available here: trollamancer.weebly.com/solos.html.

Hale and well met valdus . All gamers are welcome here at Vin's Trollbridge.

I believe that two of the original Flying Buffalo T&T solos are intended for a party to attempt. Dargon's Dungeon (solo 5) is designed for a party of 3 lower level characters and Overkill (solo 7) is also designed for up to 12 level points of character; one 12th level, two 6th level etc.. The latter allows magic so a party with at least one wizard is a must.

I have, occasionally, stretched a T&T solo's entrance rules to allow both of my kids to have a character take part in an adventure and just increased MRs and SRs 'on the fly'. T&T's streamlined rule sets mean that this is no great hassle and doesn't slow down the action in any way.Not so long ago, I did this with City of Terrors (solo 9)

The solo adventure you need to look at is Overkill. The second edition (which is the one linked to) was entirely rewritten and is designed for a group of characters.

Edit: Ninja'd!

Welcome, valdus!

I'm not aware of any PbP games currently running. There was one started here recently, but it appears to have stalled for no immediately obvious reason.

I bought the bundle about two years ago. Great to get on drivethrurpg and great to see that i ready purchased many modules. Right now working through character and rules with he Necropolis of Death. Great TnT tutorial.

By the way at how do you all roll dice on pbp’s- off-site rolling?

Our DM had a family problem to handle right when the stay at home orders hit so we're on indefinite hold.
