Each choice will lead you to an encounter, a fight, your grisly demise, or all of the above! These adventures are great for when you’re feeling like tabletop gaming but can’t get a group together to play with. You start with 33C on page 40 of the PDF, and your choices will lead you to other options. City of Terrors is laid out exactly like that. If you’ve never played a solitary adventure before, think back to things like the Choose Your Own Adventure books or even “gamebooks” like the Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf and even Dungeons & Dragons versions that were big in the 80s and 90s. It’s pretty wild how varied the adventures within City of Terrors can get, but be careful, as there are many instant death options as well, killing you without a chance of a saving throw or the roll of a die. Others were much longer, ranging from eventually killing the brother of the Sultan that ruled the city to doing battle with a master of time itself. For example, my first adventure had me go up to some guy on the street, attack him, kill him, then walk to a ship and it was over.
There are roughly two dozen adventures that can occur between these nigh seventy pages, some of which are good and some of which are merely mediocre. City of Terrors is a wonderful solitary adventure. If someone was going to do all the work themselves, they’d write an adventure on their own, wouldn’t you think?Īnyway, small rant over. It’s not hard to do the conversion, but if you’re going to release an adventure for a new edition, the staff behind it actually needs to do the proper editing and conversion themselves rather than say the adventure is for the newest rules set, but have it be for the previous rules and make the player do all the work. I’m not sure if it’s lazy or sloppy, but honestly, Deluxe City of Terrors should have just been released as a Fifth Edition adventure. You would think Flying Buffalo would want to clean this up and change the stats instead of telling the player to do it themselves! Yes, the text actually tells the player to roll 3D6 and write down the new stats for the NPCs when you encounter them.
As well, the random NPC list has the old system stats rather than the new ones which, again, is equally strange. There is a page dedicated to converting the adventure to DT&T, which is odd, because it bears the DT&T logo on the cover. It’s okay though, because the adventure actually isn’t updated AT ALL for Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls and uses the previous rules system (Fifth Edition). This is the second adventure release for Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls, even though the core rulebook for this updated version of the second oldest tabletop RPG has yet to come out.
It was originally released way back in 1978, and has remained a popular adventure for the system ever since. Deluxe City of Terrors (Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls)Ĭity of Terrors is a solitaire adventure for Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls.
