The Blasted Lands is a desolate expanse of badlands, hills, and mountains turned to waste during one of the final climatic battles of the Wizard Wars centuries ago. At the end of the wars, one of the surviving great wizards build a fortress on a peak of one of the mountains, promising to restore the land to it's former bounty. It soon became apparent that the wizard had other, darker designs. The wizards fortress became a haven for monsters of all types that mounted raids upon nearby towns and cities. Then one day the fortress exploded in a blinding flash of light. Whether this was an act of retaliation by another wizard or a spell gone terribly wrong, no one knows. A few bands of adventurers sought to plunder the dungeons of the fortress but few returned. This was all long ago, but the rumors of the great treasures buried beneath the ruins of the fortress remain and serve as a powerful lure for fortune-seekers. You and your companions have traveled to the town of Dunnold which lies near the Blasted Lands intent on making your way to the ruins and seeing if those rumors are true.

This game will use the Tunnels and Trolls 5th edition rules with some house rules. A free PDF of an abbreviated version of the rules available at the Flying Buffalo storefront at DriveThruRPG. I will make use of some published as well as original material. My intent is that this will be a sandbox style game, although there will be a starting adventure to get things going. After that there will be plenty of directions for the party to go and explore if they choose. I’m looking for 4-6 players with a good distribution of character types. All characters will start at first level. Players of all gaming experience are welcome. Newcomers to T&T are encouraged to join.

Question: Are we allowed monster characters using the chart in chapter (I forget which chapter I think it was 2 or 3)? I don't like to play "normal" characters, since I'm a bit of a rebel

Sure, I'll allow some additional monstrous kindred on the human-scale or smaller such as goblins, orcs, gremlins, etc. No ogres, trolls, giants, or similar though. Let me know in the RTJ and we'll discuss the attribute modifiers.

The party has returned from their first delve, bloodied but successful. We've lost three players over the course of the delve, two dwarf warriors and an elf rogue. I'm looking for player to either take these characters over or join the group with new characters.

Are Gnomes a thing in T&T? I've been looking for a non-DnD but traditional setting fantasy game since I joined RPoL. I just read through character creation in the free quickstart rule PDF and it hints there is much more to the character options.

I'm not particular to any one class, I'm intrigued by the magic in T&T after a brief look, but whatever would help round out the group.

In 5e T&T gnomes are not a standard character race, but there are hobbits, leprechauns, and fairies. Of course I could house rule a gnome if we really wanted to play one.

There are three main character types, warriors, wizards, and rogues; how you play each type is pretty flexible. It all comes down to your desired backstory.

Right now the party consists of one rogue and three wizards, so they are really in need of warriors; but rogues would be good as well.

We've gained one new character, but could use another.

We're looking for a new player to take over a 2nd level leprechaun wizard.

Still looking for a player to take over a Leprechaun Wizard.

Looking for some new players to join the party last seen exterminating emaciated vampires. Established characters are available to take over or new ones can be introduced.

Looking for some new players to take over a few established characters, a human warrior, human rogue, and a leprechaun wizard. If preferred, new characters are also welcome.

We’ve had two new players join the party, currently raiding an evil cultists complex.

The human rogue and leprechaun wizard are still available.

We have one more spot available to take over the leprechaun wizard (2nd level) or a new character.

Greetings,

If the lepreachaun wizard is still for grabs--also willing to start anew character--I would be delighted to play a Tunnel & Troll campaign.

Yully Bear,
A bare Bear who barely bears his bearings.

The leprechaun wizard is still available. Send me a request to join in the game and I'll get you added.

The current party consists of a human warrior, hobbit warrior, dwarf rogue, human rogue, and a human wizard. They will be heading back to civilization soon to rest and resupply after defeating a band of cultists with the help of a powerful goblin wizard.
