Scratch that, got it working. Had to log out and log in (to the dice table as well as the site) again.
I don't expect Petrik to last long (unless the PCs intervene!). He is the shining example of 'Dead NPC walking'.

Okay apn Try this, I reading missile stuff page: 77 and it state I can use a talent. I think if just (i.e. you think it just). He hurling using the muscles of his body to propel object, can he use his STR, in his frustrated state to hurl axe? Still I roll the 2d6 in dice roller and you can add/subtract as you will!  |

 Initially I thought 'small' target because I'm not so mean as to say 'tiny' to hit a blowpipe poking out of a window. Now I'm saying 'medium' because you are aiming for the window basically. If an axe flies through a window chances are that whoever you are you need to get the heck out of the way! Forty feet away is 'Near, Easy' which is L4SR and a target number of 35... Roll of 6 +5=11 is a great roll (yet again!) but you were always going to need a double to have any chance of getting a roll of 20+ I'll resolve that when Will's roll comes in and I will resolve round one of Pirates vs party clash... |

Just a few notes, I see we allowing D&D (Red Book) NPCs into the game? Well that was actually one note, is there a second??? Enjoying the game apn, good work and very exciting. I enjoying myself, thanks! |

A few cosmic thoughts and grumbles while skirmish continues...
"I think I feel a song coming from within my soul?"
THUD!!! "What in the seven Hells was that?"
"Where mi axe?"
"Where's the Dwarf?"
"Where's my constitution?"
"Why is that pirate coming back?"
"Why are we allowing D&D characters in a T&T game?"
"Darn cannie TTYF them!"
"You call that a knife, this is a KNIFE!"

It would be handy for there to be a subdual version of TTYF. Perhaps Firdle can create it one day.

Allowing D&D NPCs in because a) That's where I started (Moldvay Basic) and whilst I probably won't play D&D again I would like to evoke a few nostalgic memories of where it all started for me and b) Gotta love some Old School art! Modern stuff is all spikes and too... digital... if that's the word. Looks like it's been touched up, honed, filtered and so on. Don't get me wrong, some of it's really very good but the clean uncluttered look of old art really does it for me.
Also c) Do not be surprised if you get a mish mash of not just T&T solos converted into group games but also sections or bits and pieces altered for our use from D&D, AD&D, Runequest, Dungeon Crawl Classics and whatever else I have lying around!
To me right now there is an opportunity for T&T to rise up amongst the sea of clones out there and claim a place in the hearts of new players. On the flip side I don't think it will do that with the Deluxe T&T book which is... how shall we say, too much, too big. Slim it down, multiple softbacks, boxed sets, adventures, world books, solos and so on. Give it a unified look across the board (with colour denoting the level of play at a single glance. Red=starting characters, Green level 3-6, Blue 7-10, Black 11+ etc or whatever colour they fancy).
Anyway, that's just me dreaming. I personally make use out of the DT&T PDF printed into two books and only use half of the second book but most of all of the first.
If you guys would rather I didn't borrow/steal/use from other games I can do that.

Plagiarism is a recognised necessity of fully-embraced artistic expression.
And I LOVE RP nostalgia!

I played and still play most of your favourites. Talking baboons are great. Borrow as much as you want. |

Sounds fine to me. I never really got into D&D beyond one of the early editions so I wouldn't recognise much of the material anyway. I preferred things like GURPS, which now seems to me a little bit too much like real life.

I have a suggestion for a house rule...
If a combat requires a 'tie breaker' of some kind (in other words we'll be there forever chipping at each other and eventually get there in weeks or months) then I would suggest - After three rounds and no real clear winner in the combat Round 4 steps up a notch. All 6s will switch to 'exploding' dice rather than inflicting spite.
Example:
Will has been fighting his mirror image for what feels like an age. Whilst he's not keen on what the exact duplicate of himself has done with his hair after stepping from the magic mirror with a snarl on his face, he has to accept that is how his hair looks right now and he'll need to visit the barbers. In the meantime he and his evil twin have been whacking away at each other and matched the other perfectly for 6 minutes now and both are starting to tire. That means openings, mistakes, slips and a chance to finish things!
Will rolls 4D6 and gets 3, 1, 6, 6 +4 adds=16. Normally that would be 16HPT and 2 spite but from round 4 onwards those 6s explode! The extra dice are rolled and... 6, 2... Current total is 24 and another exploding die... that comes up... 5. Will's total is 29!
Evil Will rolls 4D6 +4 and gets 2, 1, 4, 5 +4=12. A difference of 17 is more than enough to overwhelm Evil Will's armour and smash through his defences and the final thrust of the short sword plunges into Evil Will's neck! Good Will sees himself cry out then fade into smoke! He's careful to avoid casting a reflection in the mirror when he passes by this way again...
THIS WILL ONLY BE APPLIED IF EVERYONE IS ON BOARD WITH IT!
Thoughts?
