Thanks, for the heads up, alkazar . Most of the time we catch these as the post is made or shortly thereafter. Making a post and then going back to edit it a day later is a new behaviour. To catch these, mahrundl and I will need your assistance. You can call the offender out like this or you can report the post using the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the post. We have zero tolerance for spammers. The posts/threads are removed, the account banned at the global level and the IP address blocked. In some extreme cases whole sections of an IP range have been blocked. I'm sure there are sections of certain countries which will probably never be able to post here due to the actions of some spammers.

I was struck lightning 3 times in the 70's First bolt: 1973 I read Tokien at age 10. Within a few years I had read Howard, Lieber, Moorcock, Norton, Burroughs, Dunsany, CA Smith, and many more. Second Bolt: 1977 Melee by Steve Jackson. This is the game that made me a capital "G " Gamer. Third Bolt: 1977 Holmes Basic D&D. I've been playing RPGs ever since. The first session I ever ran, before I had my own copy of D&D basic, was a homebrew adventure based on Howard's Tower of the Elephant using Melee and Wizard in 1978. I got T&T 4th in '78. It was not a bolt of lightning. 15 year old me didn't get it. I made up Mickey Monster's Dungeonland and ran it for a little but it didn't catch on with me or my friends. Stunting wasn't mentioned in the rules so the combat seemed really cut and dried. Back to D&D and Melee. I eventually got 5th and played a few solos. I died way too much so I never played many of them. I knew Kathy Demott when she was writing When the Cat's Away. We talked about T&T a few times but I never played it with her. I met Rick Loomis at a con in 2005. He gave me Box Bands and Nuclear War promos. Love that game. Fast forward to 2018. On a lark I got a T&T bundle of holding. I got interested, dug around and found the Trollbridge. Stunting? What is this stunting? Stunting! That's the piece of the T&T I was missing. 40 years later that bolt of lighting struck. I started to put together some stuff for my group but then 2020 happened. During the worst days of covid I found a strange comfort in digging through the Trollbridge. T&T and the 'Bridge became a happy place I could escape to. Still is, just don't need it in the same way. 2023 Lair of the Leopard Empresses kindles a strong T&T obcession in me. I had begun to feel that T&T was the one that got away, my white whale. This time I will tame the glorious mess that is T&T ! 45 years later isn't too late. I'll get this to my gaming table but first I must work out that dual weapon problem...

Hi all. I guess this is a "RE" introduction, I can't remember why or when I stopped coming by but I have been playing a lot of Tunnels & Trolls lately and suddenly remembered this place. So here I am. My name is Peter, I'm an amateur comic artist/writer, gamer and fan of of this particular game.
(by the way, should I start calling my game modified Monsters Monsters now? I only vaguely understand whats up with the current situation. Ive gotten all of the Zimrala stuff, which is great. . I want this game to live! And the best way to make it live is to play it, so...) Inspired by the Citybook humble bundle and a few other discoveries (Mythic, the Adventure Crafter, the Location crafter) ive really gotten into solo adventuring, but not in the usual T&T style of solo adventuring. Its been tremendously satisfying building out and continuously revising and detailing the game world of my campaign and such. In a sense I alternate solo-gaming as a GM (for a session or two) and then solo GMing as a PLAYER, and I have different groups of adventurers wandering around my campaign world. It's very fun.
Glad to be here.

Everything is open at my Instagram- I post every comics page I do just about. (@rabbitfighter13) . I also edit the 9-Volt Comics anthology (https://linktr.ee/9voltcomics) and there are a few other places.. I'm in the Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls book on pgs 193 and 260. The current comics I just started is about an aviator in a lost prehistoric world.

From a person with what probably constitutes negative artistic talent, I think that your example there looks pretty good!
