There is no doubt that the king of tabletop RPGs today is Dungeons & Dragons. The title of Wizards of the Coast It has been with us for a few decades, but its most direct successor was born just a year after its creation. It was in 1975 when Tunnels & Trolls made an appearance thanks to the talent of Ken St. Andre.
We are talking about a librarian who wanted to make the role-playing approach more accessible and achieved his goal when Flying Buffalo edited his idea for the second version. Character classes, a fantasy realm similar to that of The Lord of the rings
So much so that a unique adventure could be waged alone, contrary to what happened with D&D. It was in 2008 when we were able to enjoy the last edition, 7.5although a lot has happened since those dates in 2008. Only those who are fluent in French could dare to try the eighth edition that came to light in 2012, although there is a Deluxe Edition that acts as the ninth edition, although it is only a revision of the basic rules that was released in 2015.
Now, it is the publisher of the United Kingdom, Rebellion, which will be in charge of returning to Tunnels & Trolls to the life. And it is that the company has taken over all the intellectual properties in Flying Buffalo tabletop RPG and because of this, we will have one more edition that will allow us to take the work “to a new era”. Of course, we must bear in mind that we are talking about a project that is in a very early phase of development, as stated from Dicebreaker
Rebellion Unplugged studio head Duncan Molloy explains that “much of the modern era of RPGs, from old-school hacks to stripped-down systems and solo play, has its roots in this series. We’re very excited to channel that spirit to bring Tunnels & Trolls to the modern era”. For now we have to wait, because there is no release date announced.
