TFT Status Report from BGG
I thought I'd cross post this since some of us aren't on BGG:

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
I notice something is missing from Phil's thoughts about future TFT products - solitaire modules in the old style. Just like the Death Test reissue, with a booklet and counters, and possibly a map and cards as well.
Perhaps the development costs are a bit high compared to other products? Or maybe the right author is hard to find. At any rate, I hope we see something like that in the future. |

So yeah, bottom line: I would fully encourage SJG to consider doing some Microquest type "solos" adventures too. I'd certainly go for them. |

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
Solo adventures are on the wish list.

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
As someone who's written one adventure and have five others incoming via Gaming Ballistic I can tell you I've flirted with the idea of solo adventures. But then . . . I remember they are solo adventures and need lots and lots of review and playtesting from eyes different than my own and then I'm "meh" about the subject. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at them, but normal adventures are just easier to write over all. So that's what I'm sticking to for a bit.

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
There are a few classic T&T solo dungeons that I love (City of Terrors; Sewers of Oblivion; etc.), but in general I don't use them nearly as much as I do other gaming materials that are good for TFT.

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
It would be fun if the T&T people considered working with SJG on conversion stats for TFT as a possible product for their adventures (or better still, a full-on conversion to hex-based maps and the whole nine yards). I like T&T (though not as much as TFT) and they did (and are now again doing) some wonderful things with it!

Re: TFT Status Report from BGG
It is a cool system. I sprang for the revival on Kickstarter (a couple years ago?), complete with the personalized wooden box to hold everything, to atone for the sin of passing up on T&T way back in 1982 or so. (I have a surprisingly clear memory of a day when I had some money in my pocket, and a choice between T&T or a handful of Citadel miniatures, and I chose the minis.)

It would almost be better to simply work with the T&T team to completely reword some of their solitaire adventures for use with TFT. (Note: We are not doing that at this time and have no plans to do that.)
