    Did anyone actually play Tunnels and Trolls with friends?

    Right in my simulator I added the spite modifier. Did you also separate the constitution from the monster rating so the monsters kept up their full strength of attacks like players? Also did you only use MR or did you stat out creatures with Str, Int, Wis etc like players as well?

    Did anyone actually play Tunnels and Trolls with friends?

    For be I bought the yellow 5th edition boxed set and loved reading it (I was enamored by all the weapon choices), loved reading the fights in the examples of combat and I am pretty sure I ran the dungeon of the bear. But I certainly didn't play with friends, it was more of a solo affair that...

    OSR A Historical Look at the OSR

    I'm not sure if it nostalgia but when I DMd 1e/2e the combat was naughty word exciting and a lot faster (and with more people). Didn't need 300 hit points, 5 actions and 20 skills to get there. I decided that when my BECMI set arrives I'm going to implement it on the simulator and see if I can...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Fair enough, lets hope, I don't want much, I just want a round world and an official map that fits it so I can work from that for all my "stuff".

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Right, thats the point of the thread. They can't really continue to work on those cultures anymore, so what do with them on the map.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Ok so seems like I have more research to do ! "Meanwhile, in Toril, magical energy subsumed the continent of Maztica and transported those lands to Abeir" So in actuality the current Toril map doesn't include Maztica, so I would have to either find an updated version of dndcombat.com/toril or...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    I do agree thats the way to go. No need for your players to travel that far west to another continent. I just hate having a continent online that has stuff that everyone is going to ignore. Feels bad.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    for sure, I can put a two dots on a piece of paper, village, dungeon, first 3 sessions done. but even back in 1989 I needed something much much more substantial and "real" for my players to be fully immersed, that was the beauty of the realms, looks guys here is your world and this is where you...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    idk I think home brew is a massive undertaking, thousands of hours to get something vaguely coherent.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Right so given that, Ed and peeps release Border Kingdoms, lets convince him to release a replacement for Maztica. Check this thread out http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22659&whichpage=9 per Ed There is no Maztica (or Osse) in the original Realms, but instead: Laerakond, and...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Interestingly though, of my two online, interactive maps Toril World Map, Forgotten Realms is 4 times more popular than https://dndcombat.com/faerun and because I'm ramping up, mapping every module to locations on Toril, I would like to see some kind of future for the world, not just Faerun.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    I know he worked on projects like Borderlands, but none of that is what I'm talking about, I'm talking about parts of Toril that are basically a copy/paste of real world history, like Maztica.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Here is the thing. Someone did redo Matztica in a sensitive way here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/171534/MZC1-The-Maztica-Campaign-Guide But even with that, first comment is basically you will never succeed unless the region is razed and rebuilt. And for that we need a F.R. task force...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Its not that, I love the Sword Coast work. Its just I've been mapping modules to their position on my interface world map of Toril and after some research on FMA1,FMA2, FMQ1 I realize that they are ever going to touch Maztica again and I find that a shame.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    There are some discussions with Ed on the topics, he explained that in his Forgotten Realms there is no Maztica, he has something completely different. Ideally I would like to see that come out and replace what is essentially a copy/paste of Central America history. But no, he has not produced...

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    The problem is you don't share it. The reason I chose FR in 1989 is because it saved me 1000 hours of world building while doing a degree.

    WotC Can we salvage Toril?

    Or are we forever more stuck with Sword Coast and the rest of the world ignored? Will WOTC ever redo Matzica, Karatur and any other problematic regions based on real world history? Thats the key question in my mind. Will they, or will they just ignore it for the next 20 years? Lets assume...
