WHOA!
I suggested to DH Austin -- on his first GenCon trip with family -- that he drop by the Rebellion Unplugged booth.
They had a flyer! new TUNNELS & TROLLS in 2025!

Sounds a rather literal interpretation of the game's title.
I am reserving judgement until I see something substantive.

From that description and the graphics - I wonder if it will be more of a kids game than what T&T has been over the last 40 years. That's total speculation on my part - we are not involved in this new version/edition (reboot)? I guess we'll see...

That graphic looks really dashed off. Not really evocative of dungeon delving.
We'll see! I'm ready to rewrite my solo adventure submissions to fit the new setting. (They're nominally set in Trollworld, but not in any really deep degree.) Fingers crossed.

From Discord user Elflord:
Didn't the trolls in The Hobbit turn to stone as well? (Last time I read it was about 45 years ago, so my grey matter is a bit foggy.)

Yes, Gandalf and Bilbo keep the trolls so occupied and arguing that they don't notice the sun rising.
The excellent fantasy animated series "Hilda" also has the sun (temporarily) turning trolls into stone.

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series trolls merely get sluggish in daylight. There's a whole raft of pseudo scientific "explanation", but in essence Pratchett was gently subverting the accepted legendry (as he often did).
Discworld would be a good setting for a fairly whimsical Monsters! Monsters! campaign as many of the traditional monsters of legend are portrayed as sympathetic, or at least credible, characters. Sadly, copyright means it almost certainly couldn't be official.
**Edit** Actually, I see Modiphius has a Discworld RPG coming out in late 2024. Hope they make a good job of it.
