Yes, I know I had a post about there being too many damn retroclones last week (or simulacrum games - I hope that is the right word) and yet here I am with yet another.
Tombs and Terrors, otherwise known as TT (not T&T - that's for Tunnels & Trolls) refers to itself as Old School Fantasy Roleplaying. I'm going to hazard a guess and declare it to be AD&D simulacrum, very compatible with any of the games that currently restate any of the earlier D&D editions.
It also seems to borrow an idea from Castles & Crusades, but as opposed to just having primes, we are presented with primary, secondary and tertiary stats. I like the way they are presented here, and if I ran a game of C&C, I'd borrow this from TT to retrofit the SIEGE Engine.
As I've stated before, I don't think we NEED any more retroclonisimulacrumie games, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't play them. I don't need ice cream to live, but i certainly like it ;)
Besides, they present a spell casting bard. I like bards. To the point that I am as annoying as hell when I play them. So be it.

Of course, I was going to do this.
I talk a lot about witches here. I mean a crazy amount. It is by far my
most commonly used post-label. I am obsessed,...

I love playing Bards also! Especially annoying ones! : )
ReplyDeleteI am in good company then! ;)
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I had a couple of players who kept talking about each of them rolling up Bards and basing their characters on Tenacious D. They never got around to doing so. I should have killed their then current characters to encourage them. :)
