Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age

Trolls are strange creatures, made of earth and rock, said to grow to enormous size. Every child is told that sunlight sends them into a deep slumber, but shelter them in darkness long enough, and they may once again awaken. But perhaps that’s just a story.  

One thing is known, though. Centuries ago, the sky turned black and trolls roamed the land. Kingdoms and empires fell, their technology and magic buried with them deep in the earth, along with the truth of what happened.  

The sun returned, and people rebuilt. But below the surface, in tunnels that wind deep underground, the riches of the past still lie in wait. To venture where trolls may roam is a task only for the very brave – or the very foolhardy. But then, what would-be heroes aren’t? 

Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age reimages the classic game, with combat that is as easy and lightning-quick as it is immediate and thrilling; where your characters are at once ordinary and fated heroes; and where adventures bring you deep into dark tunnels, face-to-face with ancient trolls and powerful magicks. 

Beloved in the original game, exploding dice make a triumphant return, with players rolling pools of dice that burst into action on doubles, rewarding daring stunts and clever play, while courting danger at every turn. Solo adventures are also back at the heart of Tunnels & Trolls in our Solo Sidequests, letting you take your campaign character on side quests whenever your party cannot meet, ensuring the adventure never has to stop.  

Tunnels & Trolls has been lovingly reborn for a new generation of fantasy roleplayers, blending the spirit of the original with the best of modern tabletop design. The result is a fresh, streamlined ruleset that is easy to learn for newcomers while evolving the most loved elements of the classic game for veteran fans.
