A Traveler's Tale
A Traveler's Tale
Would you rather fight dire wolves in a blizzard or spend the evening drinking with a one-eyed dwarf in a cozy tavern? That's a no-brainer, right? You might want to reconsider, because you'll actually be safer with the wolves. This is a solitaire adventure intended for 1st to 3rd level characters with fewer than 100 adds, using the Tunnels & Trolls 7.5 rules.
I created the Mad Dwarf adventure for White Dwarf Magazine in 1982. I wanted to do a Dwarf adventure for a Dwarf magazine. I didn't get much feedback on the solo, and the editors didn't ask me for anything else, so that proved to be a dead end.
Still, I thought it was a good adventure then, and I think so now. This version of it has been brought up to date to be played with the Tunnels and Trolls 7.5 rules--the changes are minimal, but there are some. The biggest change is that I've changed the title to A Traveler's Tale. Calling it The Mad Dwarf gives too much away
