- ~Tunnels and Trolls
-
- A few tips, obtained from Judd Reiffin via request on the Internet.
-
-
- I'll refrain from bashing the game itself (too much), but... tips:
-
- Save a lot. Back up your save files. Restore a lot. Prepare to die
- a lot by making a lot of informationless choices that instantly
- kill you.
-
- An amusing trick: Have all your characters start as a different class
- than you want them to be. When you get to the second island and talk
- to the fortune teller (save game) she will sometimes draw a card that
- changes the character into a warrior and gives him a Hero's Sword
- that does some truly munchinish amount of damage,like 100+1d20 or so.
-
- This made most combats pretty one sided (my side, fortunately) but
- didn't do anything about the pick-a-wrong-choice-and-you-all-die-
- play-again-y/n? problem. The game itself lacked the Tunnels &
- Trolls atmosphere that Buffalo Games had in the original role
- playing game (a truly hilarious game made more so by a quick read
- through any of the published modules). Overall a disappointment.
