Hi All, thanks for the kind words!
Yeah, I have been reading through a lot of older posts and got a lot of answers that way! In the meantime I've also purchased the 5th ed PDF as that is the one I started of with and remember fondly. And it seems sometimes that this is the go-to version for a lot of folks. Now, I intended to ask a lot of questions, but a lot of them were answered n the board, and a lot of others are answered with: Do what you want! :-) I am a bit hesitant because I don't want to "break" the game, or unbalance it. Then I read somewhere on this board that "balance" is not really an intended feature of T&T, it happens occasionally, but not on purpose, or so it seems. Coming from D&D 5E, where balance seems to be the starting point, that's something that needs re-adjusting...
I'll look into the posts Mahrundi mentioned, thanks for that! I also found Whartson Hall recordings that already have given me great ideas to incorporate in my game with my kids (I've decided it needs a Leprechaun NPC (and it will not be a very nice one. One might even say... cruel)).
Excuse my late reply, I have to figure out how I get an email update of updates (is that even possible? Figured it out! Hurray!).

There is more joy at the bridge over 1 returned than over 10 who , uhm, don't turn up...
Welcome back ishtar58. May you enjoy your return to the Bridge. We are in exciting times - the new Trollszine seems to have sparked off a flurry of activity.
Speaking of which, still free, though you do have the option of contributing towards Flying Buffalo's continued activity - Trollszine , it's big, it's beautiful and it's back.
Look forward to reading your posts!

Thank you all! I hope not to fall off the face of the world again.
Zanshin, I already left a post on the TrollsZine 12 thread regarding some new/old material that may be of interest.

Hi everyone, I'm a (very) long-time roleplayer, ever since the Red Box was published ⚔️🎲🙂 mostly D&D and Gygax's Dangerous Journeys. BUT, then I discovered Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls in 2020 and loving it, we had never really appreciated just how much the rules of D&D were stifling our creative flair and fun! My players were dubious at first but now they are also sold on it So would it be OK if I reproduce credited articles on my Tunnels & Trolls subreddit and reference the Trollszines/Snollygosters that they come from? Or is that not the done thing?? www.reddit.com/r/Tunnels_and_Trolls/The Cupboard Gnome.

Welcome cupboardgnome. Thank you for joining the bridge and for embracing T&T after a long time playing TOG! To link to Trollszine is not a problem at all. If you want to reproduce articles you will need the permission of the individual author. Some of them are still actively using the site, some are not.
I would be happy to pass on your request where I know the author. If you want to reproduce any of mine, I would be very open to that.
PM me and we can exchange emails. By all means create a thread to link us to your pick of your reddit threads. We welcome the T&T community wherever they reside.
Hope you have fun on the bridge. You have already found Trollszine, so wait with bated breath for number 11...

Good morning, cupboardgnome ! Welcome to the Trollbridge! Always good to hear folks enjoying T&T. Perhaps you'd consider adding your voice to this thread: What's Core to Your T&T? (Or start a new thread!) and share with us the approach your group has taken to adopting & adapting T&T to your table? T&T is so flexible that ideas and applications you've come up with might be of help to others. As for reproducing TrollsZine! articles on a subreddit, that's a tricky one. TrollsZine! is a copyrighted product and each author and artist holds the rights to each article and piece of art they submit. TrollsZine! only holds the rights of first publication. So, reproducing the article, in its entirety, should really be approved by the author of the article. Taking an excerpt of the article, a paragraph or two, I expect, to showcase the scope and feel of the content then writing your thoughts up on it, I believe, would fall under fair use. Of course, it would only be good manners to direct your readers at that point to the DriveThruRPG page where they could download a copy. Though, it should be said, I Am Not A Lawyer. zanshin , quoghmyre , as those most familiar with the TrollsZine! process, at this moment, please feel free to correct me if I'm in error and add in any clarity needed. Edit to Add: And I see Zanshin was already adding clarity as I was typing

Quite welcome, cupboardgnome. Love the moniker, btw. Feel free to resurrect old threads if you have new thoughts to add. We don't worry about thread necromancy around here. There are so many wonderful old conversations that it would be a shame for them not to see the light of day every-so-often

ProfGremlin has, as is his wont, set out the situation for reproducing Trollszine stuff very clearly and comprehensively. So what I said, but mostly what he said

Welcome, cupboardgnome!
I can't improve on what ProfGremlim and zanshin have already told you, so I'll just say that I hope that you enjoy digging through the archives.

You do realise that your archives are eating hours of my life 😀

Well, they took hours out of the lives of those who created them, so I'd say that's fair...
