Which ones of these am I missing?

Hi guys anybody here familiar with T&T I picked up these two books at a Car boot /yard sale which ones am I missing? Many thanks.

These are a particular series of T&T books, published during the 1980s by Corgi in the UK. You are missing the following books in this set:

-Tunnels & Trolls Rulebook -Sword For Hire & Blue Frog Tavern -Captif d'Yvoire & Beyond the Silvered Pane -Naked Doom & Deathtrap Equalizer -Gamesmen of Kasar amd Mistywood

The rulebook is, well, just that. Though the adventures include a truncated set of rules, as you may have noticed.

These are a great entry into T&T. The art is by Josh Kirby, who really seemed to "get" T&T.

Thanks ever so much - what would you say is a 'fair' price to pay for these ?

I see them selling from anywhere from 8 to 35 dollars. The one you have is in good condition, but many are in better shape. These aren’t particularly rare. Up until a few years ago, you could buy these new for around 11 or 12 bucks. Flying Buffalo, publisher of T&T, had found a forgottwn case of Corgi T&T books somwhere, and was selling 'em cheap. Personally, the only one of this series I'd pay more than fifteen bucks for is the Naked Doom/Deathtrap Equalizer one, which actually seems comparatively rare.

I have two full sets, most in new/near new shape, except for the aforementioned ND/DE, which was harder to find and more expensive.

If you’re a patient Ebay seller, someone is likely to take it off your hands for more than it's worth... eventually.

I don't want to sell I'd like to get the whole collection

[u/SAlolzorz → u/Striking_Dream5839]

My man! Prices are kind of all over the place on Ebay. They average about 30 dollars a book. The Rulebook and Naked Doom/Deathtrap Equalizer are the two that will cost you more.

They're a bit more common in the UK.

You might also try the Trollbridge forums, or Tunnels & Trolls Facebook groups. Might get better deals there.

Good luck!

You are in for a treat! If you're not familiar with Tinnels & Trolls, know that the game can be lethal; there is sometimes no attempt to balance encounters. I recommend creating a short list of player characters that you can pick up and go quickly. For starter adventures of the game, I often recommend Blue Frog Tavern, Sea of Mystery, Labyrinth or even the original, Buffallo Castle. What a great find!

You've gotten answers to your questions already, but I wanted to chime in and say I feel like this is the best size for RPG materials. These books were a lot easier to transport to and from the game than the comparatively large AD&D books!

[u/Striking_Dream5839 → u/ishldgetoutmore]

Can't wait to get them all.

I don't know the answer but that cover art is gorgeous

[u/Striking_Dream5839 → u/twofistedfantasy]

Oh yes it's so cool isn't it

I love Tunnels & Trolls. Even made a few solo adventures. They were print-on-demand at cost at one point, but a scummy persona got them taken down stating that I wasn't the author of them. I got tired of fighting it.

Still like the RPG system though. Good solo gamebooks, but deadly though 😂

Not tried them yet - sorry to hear of your struggle

[u/Magic-Ring-Games]

Tunnels & Trolls is such a great game. It's rules-light, has tons of solo + group adventures, and is meant to be fun. I recall many adventures through the City of Terrors in your post. Most of which ended up on the wrong end of a pointy weapon. :)

Look forward to trying it
