Hey, Rat Salad ! Welcome Back! No one ever said you only got one chance to introduce yourself to the community. Glad to hear you're finding some peace in delving again. We're still a quiet-ish niche in the RPG neighbourhood, but take a look around there've been a couple-three posts while you were on walkabout. As always, don't worry about thread necromancy. There've been many conversations that have slowly slid into the shadows as the delvers' torchlight faded down the tunnels. Lighting a candle sometimes finds a forgotten gem.

Thanks for the kind and welcoming words, and what eloquence in poetic delivery! Man, I bet you can DM the heck out of a tale! Thank you kindly. Many things have indeed developed in the community of T&T. I purchased the dT&T and what a great work. Might run it some day with some usual tweaks. Always running 1st, 4th and 5th and hoping to find enough time to keep doing that. I'm going to spend many hours crawling around here in the tunnels and see conversations. Thank you very kindly again.

Hey everyone...maybe this is the wrong place to post "intros" since I was around and here many years ago, but I had to retire from gaming for some time as life took a bumpy turn. I've been lurking off and on wanting to get back in and say "hello" at least (I was working on 4th edition projects some time back), anyhow, was able to get back into playing some six-months back. Running 1st edition for the stripped-down-heck-of-it with a buddy of mine, and we've developed our own solo-system that is working really well and loving it. I apologize if this isn't the right spot to post this message (I'm probably not worth a darned at this), but just wanting to reach out to other delvers a little bit...we are loving this 1st edition trek coupled with this solo method, I have to say. Anyhow, I enjoy reading others T&T experiences and hoping to get into connecting with some others on here! Hey Rat Salad , welcome back to the 'bridge. Always good to have a returning Troll post anywhere. Great to hear that you're playing 1st and 4th editions. There's probably a thread here somewhere that you could tell us more about that though I'm not the expert on that

Welcome back, Rat Salad!
I'd be interested in hearing some details about your solo system. If you feel so inclined, why not start a thread about it?

Thanks guys, for the welcome and the invite on the thread sounds like a good idea. I'll try to work on that tonight!

Welcome back Rat Salad, great to have your resumed presence here. Looking forward to seeing more of your solo system - T&T could not be more ideal for that. Glad you are enjoying the site. You have another Sabbath fan in me Check out Trollszine, it's good and ever so reasonably priced.

Thanks Zanshin! I have the rough draft written and ready to go on the solo thing, but I'm hoping to have it proofread first (university trained habit) before I fire it your way to see what you think. I won't forget though..hopefully soon. Yea, good old Sabbath..ha. Got me thru some tough times back then..well, that and lots of gaming (including "Bushido" which you mentioned on another post recently...I remember having a blast with that one. We had a guy that could really run that one...."Land of the Rising Sun" and that one together as a mash if I recall).

Hi everyone, been hanging around this board for a while and reading Trollszine so thought I should say hello. Been playing t&t since I got the "UK edition" in 1978. Rather than ramble on here I'll add some thoughts to the forums as things occur to me. (And as I get used to a new tablet). Looking forward to Rat Salad's ideas as this is an area which interests me.

Welcome houndle...I'm kinda new too! Good to have you, and I will be submitting that solo article for sure. Feel free to hit me up for any further details on it. We're running it again tomorrow morning actually. Gotta see what happens in this next room!

Welcome houndle, thank you for signing up and for checking out Trollszine. I look forward to reading your ideas. That does leave me without my usual signoff though

We're running it again tomorrow morning actually. Gotta see what happens in this next room! Sounds great, Rat Salad. As there's an article in the works already I won't pester you just yet. But really interested to see it. Over the years I've meandered between various styles of play... despite best efforts at doing something "deep" I often seem to revert to simple hack and slash adventures. My ultimate aim would be something that captures the narrative drive of a solo with enough randomness to add unpredictability across multiple playings. Sort of like a paragraph book where the paragraphs don't always lead to the same place. I have a feeling I'll probably end up writing some code to do this, which judging by last experience I'll then ignore - for me the T&T experience really only works with graph paper, pencils and dice. Lots of dice...

Yep, you play like me, and that's why I was searching for that same balance....I'll admit though, it's still a lot of intentional hack n' slash...ha.
