You&#39;re going to immediately run into ambiguities and missing rules almost instantly (movement? Dungeon rounds? resolution mechanic? good luck. You&#39;ll need it, because luck is the best stat). It feels like what it is: The work of someone who read a copy of oD&amp;D, didn&#39;t really get it, and then hacked out something like it based on what he thought it was.<br/><br/>Which given that it was written when the genre didn&#39;t know what it was ... is fair. It&#39;s got a lot of interesting notions, like how strength and dexterity are casting stats, monster ratings, group combat resolution, a bunch of fun, zany spells, and an entirely overwrought &#39;berserk&#39; mechanic. It could have used a lot more playtesting though.<br/><br/>Today I couldn&#39;t imagine running a campaign in this. Certainly many did, and it must have been crazy. I would get frustrated with it and begin writing out my own hack. I tried to think of what I&#39;d do if I was around in 1975 and trying to run this thing. I think I would have done the same (and with oD&amp;D), but who knows.<br/><br/>Still. We ran a dungeon, laughed, had a good time. I would like to try a later edition of T&amp;T to see the arc of its evolution.<br/><br/>#Tunnelsandtrolls #TTRPG 2026-04-19T05:33:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfgpyfg8rmdl8t2aduf94m0lx9tvlxqkc4ed6xtgtzkp4nj2a2zdczyr5fnv2k3lznezkhunxtr0z358e8rwnm63ew9sewyw9s85e4mj3v5fanm6a Ordering a birthday gift.

A good game for me has some hitting stuff and some good deal not hitting stuff. <br/><br/>But I can never find a system that balances it. Most games with satisfying hitting systems treat their characters as war gaming units with window dressing. This being all the D&amp;Ds for example. <br/><br/>They may contain some abilities and skills for when not hitting stuff, but they must be purchased at the expense of hitting stuff, and to players the stakes of combat always seem higher even they they are not, so that’s where the build points go. That’s even if it’s plausible - most games have extremely weak non-combat skill systems. <br/><br/>That and these systems give their combat abilities far more control over the combat situation than noncombat abilities give them over the non combat situations. They’re just worse value. <br/><br/>I feel like we should separate these aspect of character development and work in better ways to give the players more control in non combat scenes so the GM doesn’t have to carry the whole thing… and still keep a decent hitting things system when we do it. #TTRPG 2025-07-28T09:23:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd4399gdsnyvxlk2tp7255zm5e0rq4qysscgaa7lldu49gmrzw8fqzyr5fnv2k3lznezkhunxtr0z358e8rwnm63ew9sewyw9s85e4mj3v54cplnn I bought myself a Sailor Tuzu F. <br/><br/>Of all the entry level fountain pens with a triangular grip, I like the hold of this one the best. <br/><br/>The nib is that very Sailor-signature scratchy. It’s probably the closest I’ve gotten to writing with a FP that feels like a pencil. It’s also very sharp - no matter how light I hold I feel like it’s cutting into the paper and picking particulates. Usually I don’t have this problem on this paper. <br/><br/>I like the look and the feel - but I have two complaints. First is that this is a very dry pen. I loaded up with 54th mass which is a very wet ink and it’s still pretty dry. The feed can’t quite keep up and I have to let it catch up every once in awhile. I’m not sure this would work with a dry ink. <br/><br/>Second is the price. This is in the same price range as a Lamy Al-star and I’m not sure it’s a better pen given the plastic body. It does come with a converter, which is nice. You’re paying for the unique sailor style nib though. I think for entry level a plaisir, safari, or pilot metro are better for being half the price unless you really want that intentional scratch. <br/>#fountainpen 2025-07-15T07:10:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvzm2lkqrum77slkwvj6st4apllvaaerwl2mrwd6env0j2wca4c3szyr5fnv2k3lznezkhunxtr0z358e8rwnm63ew9sewyw9s85e4mj3v5wa4wkd I have an unhealthy love for blue-black foutain pen inks, especially if they&#39;re faded in the &#34;blue&#34; direction, like 54th Mass, Sailor Souboku, or Diamine Prussian Blue.<br/><br/>...Must not buy another bottle.<br/>#fountainpens 2025-07-06T20:11:42Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsw98dappwypuqg7pnufav3f9cqwxzur4md54rmjds95aa8j26q85szyr5fnv2k3lznezkhunxtr0z358e8rwnm63ew9sewyw9s85e4mj3v5q8srrw Someone gave me an AmazonBasics fountain pen. It&#39;s... Ok.<br/><br/>It feels like a standard Chinese fountain pen. Which usually means you get a good price and materials you wouldn&#39;t expect (the body is metal) but the QA is pretty lacking. This one&#39;s nib was misaligned with the feeder, and if it give it a shake, it rattles a bit. A lot of chinese pens (such as the Jinhaos) also often fall apart after time because a lot is held together with glue, but I can&#39;t know with this until that time.<br/><br/>It writes fine though. The grip isn&#39;t ideal, but I actually like a lot of the chinese nibs. My only complaint is again usually the QA. I usually have to spend some time tuning. This one came alright though.<br/><br/>My main complaint is the cartridge. Supposedly this thing takes an international short, but the given cartridges are actually somewhat different in shape (narrower and longer than my Diamine cartridges). It was a pain to seat but I got it to take the Daimine. I worry about how it&#39;ll sit though.<br/><br/>Partially because this pen comes with a seater cartridge. That&#39;s when they give you a free (sometimes full, sometimes not) cartridge tucked in the barrel. But I only encounter this when they expect you to keep that cartridge there, because the fit isn&#39;t so great and they want to keep something pressed against the cart.<br/><br/>It was a gift and these things sell for ~$10 so I won&#39;t complain too much. I think a Platinum Prefounte is a better pen for the same price, even if its plastic and those are definitely proprietary fits. This pen is going in my list of &#34;Pens I&#39;ll take with me out of the house, because I won&#39;t cry if it gets lost&#34;<br/><br/>#fountainpens 2025-07-06T19:46:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2vafph2463hlxpgalpl95kef06ymxymunexh526d3xh32qy4s75szyr5fnv2k3lznezkhunxtr0z358e8rwnm63ew9sewyw9s85e4mj3v5usajyp I am of the mind that a dog is still an animal, and thus has a black box mind that you cannot fully predict or know.
