Tunnels & Trolls RPG

The Tunnels & Trolls "Way" is perfectly capable of supporting a long and fruitful adventure campaign in the most intricately-wrought setting, but is more commonly employed by gms to wreak mayhem upon groups of the characters of players who've (for example) just trashed a delicately balanced political situation that they've been more than adequately briefed upon by their employer or sponsor, and whose clear warnings they have completely ignored, so precipitating a bloodbath of a war in a world that was capable of supporting countless adventures before Our Heroes Happened to It
- and which took the gm countless hours of work to write up, check through, map, and re-map:
Tunnels & Trolls is the system with which to teach them the Error of their Ways...
