[QUOTE="Greggy C, post: 8513541, member: 7023901"] 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, like the Fighting Fantasy books, was a temporary fix until I started Advanced D&D. Did anyone actually play with friends like a campaign or something? On my nostalgia trip I bought the boxed set again (damn hard to find) and actually did some work on creating an online combat simulator (maybe I'll finish one day, still waiting for Flying Buffalo to get back to me). But the combat is a little flawed "out of the box" and I see it needed some fixes over the years to make it not a stalemate and not to take 100 rounds to complete... heh. Still, I really loved that "world". One thing I find interesting, is people point to it for "solo play". Not sure it really is more solo playable than say the Basic set, but certainly the dungeons were designed with solo play in mind. I am tempted to create a website for solo play of T&T but the licensing/copyright is a problem, even if free, probably I would need to create my own version of D&D to do that. [/QUOTE]
