Troll Hammer Press has released it's first Tunnels and Trolls product, Pocket Troll: A T&T Microzine! Pocket Troll is a new fan-supported magazine set up in a pocket-mod format. This format produces a small micro-zine that can be printed out and folded into an approximately 3" x 4" booklet.
The premiere issue of Pocket Troll includes five short articles, a one-room GM adventure, and a full, 30-paragraph solo adventure by me entitled "In Deep." Other contributors to Pocket Troll #0 include Jeff Freels who provided the cover art, Ken St. Andre, Roy Cram, Mike Eidson, Tom Loney, Mark Evans, and Paul Ingrassia the Troll Hammer himself.
I found writing the solo adventure to be a real challenge provided the limitations of the format, but in the end I was very happy with the final result. I think I packed as many experiences into 30 paragraphs as possible. The articles are necessarily short but provide some great T&T material including two monster descriptions. The one-room GM adventure is nicely designed, requiring fast-thinking players.
You can get your copy of Pocket Troll Issue #0 from RPGnow for only $2 USD. You'll get four pdf files: one for the articles and another for the solo adventure in pocket-mod format as well as two more files in standard 8.5" x 11"" format.

Really enjoy this. Have you been paid the ultimate "complement" by being robbed by Shippy yet?
ReplyDeleteBut of course. Not to worry though, the authorities have been notified.
ReplyDeleteHow about I do a pocket solo along the lines of 'To Catch A Thief' and we all get a crack at taking out Public Enemy No.1?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support, Dan. Your solo rocked. I didn't make things any easier on you with my zero-hour requests, huh?
ReplyDeleteMark, if you write that solo, send it to me as a submission for Pocket Troll, maybe I'll use it!
Thanks for the info Dan.
