These were, and are, a great resource. Pity they did not last that long. Well done

Purely subjective review here.

Although I got into D&D via Keep on the borderlands.

It was Tunnrls n Trolls that really reeled me in.

Reading it takes me back 35 or so years to that naive boy I was and dragged into the T&T World.

A real trip down nostalgia lane.

Arguably the best Tunnels & Trolls magazine ever published; certainly the best still being published. And the price! How could one ever argue about the price?! At least 91% of this issue, for instance, is far above average and approaches excellence. These include a GM-moderated adventure and a solo adventure, the latter of which can be a direct sequel to a famous old T&T solo, the former of which deals with the usual Slumbering Eeeeevil and includes a well-done letter of warning from the wizard who sees through a glass darkly, at best. I'm a sucker for good props, and this letter (designed as an open scroll) is a very nice prop.

There's a VERY revealing article (including correspondence between original creator and translator/adaptor) by Patrice Geille, who translated and adapted T&T 7.5 to French. It manages to make clear some rules within T&T 7.5 which might be misconstrued, while still emphasizing T&T's greatest rule of adapting as the game goes along. This article alone would be worth the price of the magazine, if it had a price.

I guess we could say that TrollsZine #5 is priceless. We wouldn't be far wrong.
