From the back cover
- Tunnels & Trolls is designed primarily as a fantasy role-playing game set in a somewhat medieval alternate-universe, in the tradition of the hero tales of Greece and Rome, the Norse Sagas and the Eddas, childhood fairy tales, and in the more modern traditions of the heroic fantasy of JRR Tolkien and Robert E. Howard.
- The fundamental framework for adventuring in Tunnels & Trolls is the concept of an underground tunnel complex wherein dangerous traps and deadly monsters guard undreamed-of treasures, where magic and high sorcery meet sword and shield, in alliance or as violent opponents. Those who survive to regain the surfacemay be considered "winners" — until the next time they venture into the depths, risking all for their glory, gold, and adventure.
- The rules to play Tunnels & Trolls are complete within the booklet in your hands. You need never purchase anything else, and you will have the entire game available to you. On the other hand, there are numerous back-up services — among them, solitaire dungeon adventures, miniatures, and a magazine dedicated primarily to T&T — but these are meant to augment the game. Here is all you'll need.
