TFT is...

[stefanj]

T&T was my first RPG, out of necessity; it was very hard finding the D&D rules (brown box/white box) in the summer of '76.


There are interesting parallels between T&T and TFT; namely, basing mechanics (combat, saving rolls) directly on characteristics rather than using tables. Armor absorbing damage, weapons requiring Strength to handle, etc.



Of course, TFT made combat a lot more interesting and detailed, and added the visual spectacle back in.
