Roleplaying again? No, not really.

For the past week or so I have been playing a role playing game again, mainly while out walking the dog. That's right, on my lamentable smart phone I have been playing Tunnels and Trolls adventures!
Back in the day I did play a (very) small amount of T&T, at the time I was too po-faced  and serious to appreciate the sillier aspects of the game. I just couldn't seem to get over the daft names of spells  - I liked my rpgs to have a certain level of "realism" and names like 'take that you fiend' and 'poor baby' spoiled my immersion. (Who knew - you didn't have to stay with these names but I just couldn't get past it and stuck with my preferred AD&D).


So, back to TTA, as you might imagine it's a pretty basic solo rpg - using some of the old standard solos (Naked Doom, Circle of Ice etc) as well as several newer ones. It's pretty user friendly, simple to play, and generally quite solid. It is also, however, when all is said and done, totally tedious.
Perhaps when the developers extend it a bit it might have a bit more to draw you back in but until then I'm afraid my latest rpg adventure is pretty much over. (Can someone let me know when they have a marketplace for spending all of that gold you accumulate - my lead character definitely needs better armour).


Give it a try for free - you might not want to invest too much money in it though.


Cheerio for now,

Carl
