I would buy a"corgi" version of deluxe, even though I have the hardcover version. Do you want the spells renamed, too?

Honestly, some of the Spell Names are just too silly for me. TTYF is a classic though, I sure the folk will still be shouting it in Ximuria.

When I was in my teens I hated the spell names. So much so that I scribbled my own in the book.
Nowadays I rather like them. They add a sense of whimsy and a reminder not to take the game too seriously.
We always liked TTYF though the last letter was sometimes used for a different word.

My hope for the rules themselves is that Rebellion will use their resources for playtesting and to ensure clarity. Houserules are not just in T&T's DNA, they are T&T's DNA (at least according to the narrative--I found 1e to be a more complete, standalone game than I expected). However, if you look at the boards and see discussions over things like armor wear (most recently--it's come up on reddit as well), missile combat (note OOC discussions in apn 's High Adventure game), spell costs (in kremm and gold)...one hopes a new player's first experience with rules as written (RAW) is solid enough to come back for another game and then maybe start tinkering especially if it's a solo player.

I kind of like the spell names, it is one of the things that makes t&t what it is, in my view. I think that a younger me would have had bigger problems with them. It is a game and should be fun.

I don't tell players the official last word is fiend. I, thanks to constant exposure from a friend, replace it with "Fool!"

Thanks for that - I'm now rolling up a barbarian character whilst channelling the spirit of B. A. Baracus.....

If he was really interested in coming out with a 'one version to rule them all' he'd reach out to the various places (forums including this one) to get ideas and submissions so here's hoping. Has anyone been in contact yet? I've tried to contact Rebellion months ago for any possible jobs, but they only want to hire locally in the UK in Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, etc. Apparently they don't want telecommute contractors. As for crowdsourcing ideas, I don't think they're receptive to that either, sadly. They will probably have a staff of in-house writers to do the gruntwork.

I never got a reply from Rebellion about my third party stuff going back up, unless I missed it. It was months back, maybe I should follow up.

Some of the early posts suggest the same person in charge of T&T is also the lead of the Joyride project ( ), which has four days left on its Kickstarter. Thinking about a follow-up myself, but maybe in a week or so given the end of KS chaos.

Just for the record neither Ken or I have heard anything from Rebellion, so I don't have any news for you on that front. Right now the only true heir to T&T is what Ken St Andre and I are doing right now with Monsters!Monsters! Maybe one day they will do something with it (I'm sure they will) But until then The creator of T&T and the art director of Flying Buffalo for 25 years, (along with other T&T creators from that era) are creating stuff for you right now. Come see what we are up to if you haven't yet. M!M! is VERY compatible with T&T (VERY)...
AND big news about another way to get the M!M rpg 1976 Zero edition! Your chance to get a piece of never before seen rpg history from dawn of the hobby! Plus M!M!/Zimrala Standee #3 revealed!

Just discovered the zine www.wyrdscience.online/, and in the first issue (available as a free download) there's an interview with Duncan Malloy who if not leading the T&T group, will doubtlessly have some involvement. While this predates the T&T acquisition, it does supply a bit of insight into his thinking... [EDIT/ADDITION] If anyone has any experience with their games, please share your thoughts. How might T&T complement or separate itself from their line. Naked Dredd anyone?* *Thought experiment only: please keep your NSFW cosplay photos and sketches out of my inbox, thank you very much

Dread: Dredd is a RPG using a Jenga tower for resolving conflicts, very different from most other games.
Adventure Presents is more like T&T as they are using d6s, throwing 3d6 for checks, but with attributes limited to values 1-4 where the value tells you which (if any) dice to drop, it is still very different from T&T with its "sky is the limit" approach.
