Welcome, shinmajin! Come in! Come in! Just toss your pack over there, there's a hook for your cloak and a brush for your boots. Pull up a stool, grab a mug. The ale is cold, the bread is hot and the sausages are spicy just don't ask what's in them. After the blackened snollygoster-bandersnatch blend we all learned our lesson. Darn fine eatin' no matter what was in them! So, y'hiked here all the way from Lower-Reddit, eh? Never been that side of the range. Oh, yes, we're still active. We just tend to be a little quieter than some of the forums folks have experienced. Feel free to poke around, ask questions. There's usually someone around who is happy to offer their perspective. Don't worry about thread-necromancy, there's a lot that's been posted over the years and sometimes it takes a new intrepid delver to bring gems to light.

Welcome, shinmajin. Echo what's already been said, very friendly group, not as active as some but there is a wealth of material on here and much of it as relevant as when it was posted. As far as difficulties are concerned, there are many knowledgeable folks on here. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Yup, there's definitely a bit of moss growing on some of us. We can be slow to rise but quite active for brief periods of time. Then we slumber again.

Welcome, shinmajin!
As many have already mentioned, we may not be as active as some forums. But we are usually good for discussion, assistance, rules interpretation, and the odd bizarre digression...
And restrictive? I'm not sure in what manner the sub-reddit was restrictive, but I'd hope that you don't find it so here. As long as basic civility and courtesy are upheld, we tend to be a pretty relaxed bunch about most things.

New guy here! I recently started T&T for the solitaire adventures, but found myself having a lot of trouble, so I thought I'd look for a community. The T&T subreddit felt really restrictive, so here I am! This place is still active, right? Yes, it's active. We're an odd lot, but we love the odd old game, many of us even in its new forms.... Don't be shy, and "OOOOKKK!!! HAAAARROWWW!!!!" (meaty troll fist to the shoulder.)

Welcome shinmajin. We welcome new members to give us their ideas and give us a fresh chance to present ours. We are a forum with a free fanzine attached and if you haven't already acquired all 12 copies of Trollszine for less than the price of my opinion, you should.
T&T really excels at solos so I hope you have fun with them and enjoy your time here.

Good day Folks I am from Glasgow, Scotland... I played T&T for over 40 years, and 90% of that is 5E, but slowly converting. Did not get much chance with v7 and 7.5 when it came out in the small tinbox (which amused), but did give it a go, but lost the power and it went on the shelf. I been doing 5E for thirty years, ya just cannot change overnight... So, just got dT&T and actually fine it quite enjoyable, even with the expensive armour (I actually enjoy the idea of expensive armour compared to 7.5, but you at least could don a good suit in 7.5, now it a full helm and gauntlets in 1st adventure for deluxe, still good fun). Still T&T not my primo game and I have a forum for Mongoose D20 Conan: www.tapatalk.com/groups/nialldubh/ Played D&D blue book, AD&D, Runequest and Stormbringer by Ken (if that helps in my teens), but cannot quite explain my enjoyment of T&T and keep returning to it over the decades. Might be the solos, good artwork or the essence of the T&T world, I prefer taller elves? Still onwards, I had only 6 solo games, but now it 30+ in last two weeks (PDFs) and reorganizing my laptop with a new Deluxe T&T section, now the FB have release a lot of their old stuff (glad I waited these few years and now got every original solo a GM game and a few newer ones). Still could babble babble spell forever, so will stop. I have done a map, see map post I will add in few minutes of my idea of NW and west Dragon Continent.

Welcome, nialldubh.
I know just what you mean... I haven't always been faithful to T&T, and there have been years when I did nothing with it at all, but somehow it stayed at the back of my mind like an itch that needed scratching. And a great forum supporting it too.

Welcome, nialldubh!
5th is also my go-to edition. It has the best balance of simplicity and complexity, in my opinion.

Welcome nialldubh, always good to hail another Trollbridge denizen from the isles. You have an impressively long history with T&T and 5e is where most of us started, and I still love the writing of it. Glad you have come to the bridge and thank you for sharing the link to things Conan. In order to complete your T&T laptop organization, I urge you to collect the Trollszines - it won't cost you a penny

Thanks folks Yeah, 5e, love it, still now my work for T&T is got to be deluxe through love the weapon list and even though I see a very positive construct with the new weapon format and creating exotic weapon, we can still use 5e to base some of our ideas, except sax which has to be 2 + 4 now. Yes thank Zinshin, been working at the Zines also... Eh, yeah, T&T, great game, no matter how it confuses, love it intent for humour and that is needed in life. But whew still cannot describe what I mean by how I truly enjoy its format and it 90% worthwhile to play?! Thank you again Trollbridge.
