Hi, I'm Hank (or Hal, or 'hey you'). I've been gaming since about '86, started with Dragon Warriors books, moved onto TOG and various other systems along the way. After getting back into dice games after ~15 year break, I was looking for something that was rules-light, easy to learn, but with plenty of depth. T&T fit the bill perfectly. 7e is probably my preferred version (I really miss my 30th edition tin), but dT&T gets played more often because that's what the table enjoys (almost entirely due to the wiz rules).
I'm keen to see what Webbed Sphere has in store for the property, and {to a lesser degree) how things work out with M!M!.
Also, to save a post in another thread, my enormously original name stems from the fact I live on a hill.

Welcome hankonthehill to the Bridge. You have an impressive gaming vintage and I am glad you have arrived here. I also enjoyed many of the innovations of 7e - of which using XP to raise attributes and monster special spite damage are my favourites. Your name reminds me of one of my favourite forum games - king of the hill. Perhaps we could see how that develops on a fantasy game forum If you have not already sampled the delights of the free and fabulous Trollszine, I urge you to do so. I look forward to reading your contributions.

Hi nialldubh ! Thanks for the welcome. Somehow I missed you on my first reply! zanshin Yeah, I missed trick with the whole King of the HIll thing, eh? Didn't realise it was a forum game though. Also trollzine is great! I think your dare to daro article really is the missing ingredient that ties T&T together. Maybe WS should consider hiring yourself and a couple other trolls to consult on a Stunting supplement. My pedigree? Haha! I've played a lot of games, but they've mostly one-offs squeezed between that certain d20 based ruleset and its derivatives (with not even a sniff of B/X/OSE/LL to be found, I might add). Also (as if I haven't gone one enough already), raising stats and having them directly contribute to a success/fail situation is the finest part of the game. It's a mechanic that's been copied by many games, but T&T did it first! @oldskolgmr Hello!

My troll name is Vin Ahrr Vin and I am the creator of the TrollBridge. I have played RPG's since 1975, but am a newcomer to Tunnels and Trolls. I have three kids, two of whom (10 and 13 years) are fanatics about RPGs. The 13-year-old has just discovered Warhammer 40K. I have a game group called the "Fellowship of Foragers" and we get together as often as we can, considering that we have jobs or school to deal with. The Foragers been in existance since 1997, playing mostly D&D, Amber Diceless, 7th Sea, Sorcerer, and more recently playtested the Castles & Crusades RPG. Currently, my son is getting addicted to Warhammer 40K. Hi everyone! I started to play during the mid eighties, as young kid. We played a Swedish version of Runequest called Drakar och demoner, Dragons and demons in English; you got to have a alliteration in the titel right?! We also played a post apocalyptic game called Mutan - which was Swedish and took place i Scandinavia, and yeah we played Rolmaster, or Rulemaster as we called it plus Star wars - I do love the six sided dice! I stopped to play as a teenager - other things became more important - girls and so on. A coupel of years ago I picked up the hobby again, as a mature man as they say. Sadly I don't have group to play with, I used to be the gamemaster, so now I concentrate on solos. I started using an old copy of d&d Mentzer red box, left by an older brother, after a while i got to hear about T&T, which never came to Sweden sadly enough, and now I'm hooked. Besides T&t I also play od&d+Holmes+ Chain mail solo.
