All of them have ...I have every edition of T&T. All of them have merit. The version I play is Fifth edition. The holes in later editons really irk me. I don't know why Ken didn't just pick up the flawless 5th edition manuscript and add the bits he wanted.<br /><br />Spit is kind of old-news so I wasn't surprised to see it in 7th edition. If you really want to avoid stalement in combats, roll back weapon and armour values to 4th edition. It was the wholesale doubling of values in fifth edition that caused the problem. The more dice you roll, the more your results cling to the bottom of the bell-curve...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10738063.post-23799847207769883612007-11-30T10:18:00.000-05:002007-11-30T10:18:00.000-05:00Havent obtained 7th edition yet, but after a few y...Havent obtained 7th edition yet, but after a few years away (solo 24 was my last purchase) fascinated to see the T&T scene revived by independent publications (tavern master and outlaw). I have to agree that 5th edition rocked - the beautiful Liz Danforth pics (we are not worthy!) and the great writing.

I started to play T & T in 1980 with a Franco-British friend. In 1984, it was translated in French, my mother tongue and I still play today... with my kids !<BR/>Version 7 has good ideas too (thanks to spite damages, even heroes might fear for their lives, the levels have found their right place behind attributes, the monsters are tougher than before because their adds don't deplete, etc.).<BR/>Apart from that, the format is nice, the cover (thank you, again, Liz Danforth !) is cool, and Flying Buffalo accepted that another company stepped in to keep T & T alive: great !<BR/>There are many fans out there on the web and the solo line is expanding :-)<BR/>Patrice GeilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10738063.post-1130888776471491832005-11-01T18:46:00.000-05:002005-11-01T18:46:00.000-05:00It's nice to see 7 taking off, though I had nothin...It's nice to see 7 taking off, though I had nothing to do with this particular edition. But your compliments are still nice to read, both about the art and the editing/writing I did on 5!<BR/><BR/>--Liz DanforthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10738063.post-1125629472156931262005-09-01T22:51:00.000-04:002005-09-01T22:51:00.000-04:00I don't know, man.

In terms of the sheer amount of quality writing in 5th, it can't compare.Ed Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262472490580424119noreply@blogger.com
