[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5515074, member: 42582"] I've never played T&T seriously - just mucked about with it a little bit (and mostly solo dungeons). I went back to have a look at it after reading some of Ron Edwards praise for it in his GNS essays - but personally still don't feel the charm. I'm [I]guessing[/I] that to make it work you need (i) a big stable of PCs - more characters than players - and (ii) you have to [I]embrace[/I] those goofy spell names, and the silliness more generally (including the death spiral, and what are sometimes absurdly hard saving throws), and roll some dice in a pretty lighthearted fashion. Do you know Roger Musson's article on dungeon design from the early years of White Dwarf (it's reprinted in Best of White Dwarf 2). [I]That[/I] reads to me like the sort of dungeon I might explore in a game of T&T. I don't think it's going to do anything very serious - certainly not Tolkein, but probably not Conan either.
