<p>Two of the <a class="reference external" href="categories/cat_gaming/actual-play/the-kids/">kids</a>, T.A. and D.B., wanted to play an RPG, so I pulled
out <cite>Tunnels & Trolls</cite> (5th edition). They picked from the
pre-generated characters in the T&T box (I had photocopied them some
time before), choosing a Dwarf Warrior named Bjorn, two Human Warriors
named Hrolf (renamed Ralph) and Ragnar, and a Dwarf Rogue named
Sturri. They ventured into “Trollstone Caverns”, the example dungeon
from the T&T rulebook, traveling through areas <strong>1</strong>, <strong>2</strong>, <strong>12</strong>,
and <strong>11</strong>, then back out the same way, as they had ended up pretty
wounded.</p>
