Quite cool; I've never played T&T, so some of the mechanical choices didn't make sense to me, and the maps seem a bit samey...

But oh my, the traps and weirdness this thing will throw into a room is very cool!  I seem to be getting a lot of machines that shoot teleportation beams, but very neat all the same.  And the shrines are neat, too.

Thanks :D

The maps are meant to be pretty basic - room size and distances between rooms are actually in the text rather than shown on the map.

There's a basic version of the T&T rules here - //www.freedungeons.com/rules

There are probably not enough different different traps.

Wow! The creatures this thing generates are very weird and very cool! Is the creature generator random or do you have a stock list?

Oh yeah, as per your previous offer on the OD&D boards, we plan to put some tables for fables into the next issue of FO! Is that cool?

Thanks!

It has lists of plants, animals and humanoids, and then a list of ways of combining them - eg "[a humanoid] with the head of [a plant or animal]", or "the disembodied head of [a humanoid or animal]".

Sure - it'd be good if you could put the site's URL in the magazine.

If you're planning to make it a regular 'column', I could make a graphic if you want.

That's a truly great piece of work! Only problem is, I feel redundant as I will never have to make up a T&T dungeon again! Do the folks at Trollhalla know about this? I bet Ken would love it.

One suggestion: the new, random races are cool, but what about using some traditional monsters too? Personally I'd prefer a majority of the latter with a few weirdos thrown in.

Thanks! I've never been able to work out Trollhalla, but someone else has put it on there.

Hmm...I might add that actually.
