T&T is a very cleverly designed game: complete, simple, and flexible, yet easily expandable. If I were to pick a single mistake I made in my gaming education to call ‘tragic,’ it would be my rejection of Tunnels & Trolls back when I had the chance to become better acquainted with it. T&T is known, perhaps notorious, for its bumptious sense of humor, seen most prominently in its naming of spells, such as “Oh Go Away,” “Alaka-Scram,” “Poor Baby” (a healing spell), “Upsydaisy,” and “Take That You Fiend.” In a December 2009 Grognardia retrospective, Old School Revival blogger James Maliszewski confessed the spell names, in particular, made him snobbish about T&T in his early years: “Whimsy and humor were antithetical to ‘serious roleplaying,’ and so games that evinced either were seen as unfit for play by discerning gamers. In straightforward dungeon crawls, play is quick and exuberant. T&T emphasizes roleplaying and gamemaster rulings over charts and reference books.
Since its 1975 debut - the second fantasy RPG ever published! - the simple, high-spirited, and streamlined Tunnels & Trolls has stayed in print continuously from the same publisher, guided by the same designer, and remained rules-compatible across all editions - an unequalled record of longevity.
