[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9433789, member: 7044704"] Understandable. Supposedly the combat system is a selling point. I've never been able to see the appeal myself. Almost any change would improve my opinion of it. No. You're not missing anything you can't get elsewhere. Fantasy roleplaying is well-served when it come to rule systems, and modern rules-light design put it to shame mechanically. T&T's claim to fame is its historical position as either the second or third published RPG ever, but that doesn't make it a must-play game. Its other noteworthy feature is a large number of solo adventures, but that's nothing unique these days. Even back in the day The Fantasy Trip was treading on its heels for a while, up until Metagaming closed down and the game went into limbo for decades. Others will disagree, of course. It has fans - at least 146 of them, apparently - and remains popular for solo players as mentioned above, in part because several of its modules are legendarily (and arbitrarily) deadly, so there's some real challenge just to completing them. Nonetheless, I personally rate it as an entirely skippable gaming experience. [/QUOTE]
