If you’re new to solitaire gaming in the world of Tunnels and Trolls, or wish to introduce someone else to its unique role-playing system, then The Necropolis of Death offers a perfect tutorial quest for beginners, in which you learn the rules as you complete the adventure, gaining the knowledge needed to undertake further, more substantial challenges.

An evil necromancer is terrorising your town and only one person can stop him. Well no, that’s not true. Lot’s of people could stop him but they’re not. And so you decide to take on the task…

This adventure introduces the reader to the wonderful world of Tunnels & Trolls. You will create a character and learn the rules as you play; no preparation or knowledge of the system is needed. By the time you have finished you will be ready to take your newly minted delver and subject them to any of the hundreds of Tunnels & Trolls solo adventures available.

Written by Thomas H Pugh, and illustrated by Mike Tenebrae and Johan Tieldow, The Necropolis of Death from Bolt Thrower Press will walk you through the process of selecting your character type (Elf, Dwarf or Human) and your race (or ‘Kindred’), determining your character’s Prime Attributes and equipping them for battle, and then teach you the rules for Saving Rolls, combat (including weapons, armour, your Adds and your opponent’s Monster Rating) and explain the use of magic and spell casting (including the Magic Matrix).

The Necropolis of Death will quickly get you up to speed with all of the basic Tunnels and Trolls rules and gameplay concepts required for either solo or group play. Now available for purchase in either pdf from DriveThruRPG or as a paperback book from Lulu, The Necropolis of Death is just one of many T&T solo adventures currently available (some in pdf form are free, ‘pay what you want’ or very affordably priced at online stores such as DriveThruRPG), including Thomas H Pugh’s beginners’ level adventure, Al Kazar’s Caravan, set in the Kurtish Plains (also published by Bolt Thrower Press).
