What it is about

This is not a complete game, but a guide for Tunnels & Trolls either solo or with a group, with or without a Game Master, for when no one wants to referee. Just outside the town of Woodbridge, near the village of Stickford, is the Red Wyvern Inn - a meeting place for adventurers wishing to explore the Goblin Hills. During the Goblin Wars, the hills were rich in copper, and they are riddled with mine tunnels and natural caverns. The hills are pockmarked with cave entrances which lead to a warren of tunnels and chambers - filled with monsters, traps and treasure. Many brave and foolhardy adventurers can be found at the Red Wyvern Inn - wizards, warriors and rogues of all kindreds. The inn is often the last place they visit before entering the hills to seek their fortunes. The Hills and nearby settlements lie under the watchful eyes of the sentries that man the walls of the Frontier Fortress. Here, the rulers of the land have garrisoned a small army to observe the hills for signs of humanoid activity or army formation. Officially, it is forbidden to enter the Hills but the law is never enforced because those who return sometimes bring back hordes of coins to spend in town. Also, it is felt the destruction of monsters by bands of treasure hunting adventurers is preferable to the monsters raiding the nearby peasants. In fact, the Kindred Alliance regularly sends parties in search of ancient coins, artifacts and the opportunity to destroy their ages-old foes.
