Tunnels & Trolls goes Deluxe with Kickstarter

January 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Another RPG Kickstarter of note. This time it’s Tunnels & Trolls and this game really does have a strong claim to fame. It was the second RPG published in the States and it beat Dungeons & Dragons to print in the UK. It’s older than this blogger; as it was first published in 1975. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/994700393/deluxe-tunnels-and-trolls/ […]
