You do realise that your archives are eating hours of my life 😀 You are welcome If you haven't found it already, don't overlook the thread Bookmark option in the [Actions] menu in the upper-right. It'll let you much more easily reopen those threads you want to refer back to. It's saved my sanity a few different times.

Hello to all on The Troll Bridge! I'm new to posting on the Board, and I wanted to introduce myself. I live in the Southwest US, about 200 miles (~400 KM) from Phoenix, AZ. I started roleplaying in '85-'86, when I was a wee lad o' 13. I read T&T 5th ed., and then I ran several games for a friend (six months). I remember playing a lot of the solos (FBI was able to distribute to my local game stores then). I seem to recall City of Terrors was my favorite solo after I played several. I had a falling out with my friend, and when I returned to gaming it was 'That Other Game' ( ). The new group I joined found the HERO system, and we played that until I was 18ish. Then I met another gaming group and we played GURPS for 5-6 years (?). I played a many other games, but I've always meant to return to T&T. I was blessed to find a moderately priced copy of the 5th ed. last week. Now I can also order DT&T!! 2021 C.E. The year of the Troll!!!!

Welcome to the Trollbridge oldskolgmr Your T&T story sounds remarkably like my own, though I picked up 5th edition in 1980 when I was also 13. You'll find everyone here friendly and willing to help you now you have come 'home'

Welcome, oldskolgmr ! Come in! Come in! Grab a seat. Careful, tha' bench's a bit wobbly. Tipped ol' Sanchu nearly into th'stew last week! Have a cup and pour yourself summat. The serving girl should be by in a few t'see what y'like. Blackened land kraken is the special this week. Had a party of adventurer's trade Strong Tom a recent kill for discounted lodgings. Flavor's good, though it's a bit chewy for m'self. Could make some good pocket jerky, though.Yup, to add to what everyone else has said, jump into whatever thread you like. Add to the conversation and don't worry about thread necromancy. There are many conversations that have been had over the years and sometimes folks aren't aware of what's there until someone else brings it to light.

Hi all. I’m an old school RPGer who has always had a fondness for T&T’s style but could never actually play it: the all-for-one combat system just wasn’t my thing. My most used system was The Fantasy Trip or my own home-brewed variants. I now like even simpler games and T&T has once again come on my radar thanks to Dark Isles/R3 by Hogscape which I think I might actually be able to run. The other current system I like is Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2nd Edition and Troika.

Welcome, wraithoverlord!
T & T's combat system is definitely an acquired taste. Personally I like rolling buckets of dice, but that doesn't mean that you have to. Make the game your own!
Dark Isles/R3 is good work, agreed.

Wow, all these new victims, I mean players 🙂 be warned: Trollbridge will consume hours of your life. Some people get so lost in the myriad threads, deeper and deeper they delve, like a greedy dwarf, until they are lost forever in the depths...
