Tunnels & Trolls advice
rafial:
7.0 is not bad at all, it's primarily what I use, with just a few hacks. The only real drawback is since 7.0 was banged out in a hurry, organization and clarity suffers in a few places compared to 5.x. I'd recommend completely ignoring all classes except for the standard Wizard/Rogue/Warrior. I'm amused that advancement got set to 10x in 7.5, since that's what I've used with 7.0 since day one ;)

Hi Peter,

The only problem is that all of these online resources is making me even more confused, and are giving me a hard time deciding what route to follow, rules wise. Something tells me that the more complex later rules aren't really needed for what I am looking for (which is a "look what funky moves I just made up, please reward me by oohing and aahing" kind of gamism).
Did you start this, wanting to follow a route, rules wise? Or did you want to just want to test if the product is fun for you?

Thanks to some really odd business decisions by Rick Loomis there are some confusion about 5, 5.5, 7 and 7.5 I fear. It sure would have helped to only have one in print...
Now, ignore everything online that confuse you. You have the 7th ed rulebook and while it could have been better organized it works just fine. The complexity of 7th isn't. Ignore that thread that confused you. The differences between editions aren't that great and the most important thing is you can pick up and adventure for T&T from 1978 and run it with 7.5th ed rules.
The arguments between fans of different editions can reach silly levels, but it don't have to affect your play. Take what you have and ignore what you don't like and add more of the fun. That's advice from Ken St Andre. The suggestion by rafial to only use the three basic types of characters is one way to streamline it, dropping magic resistance is another one by me.
Are there anything in particular you wonder about your 7th ed rules feel free to ask, otherwise I'd advice you to run with what you have.
It would be fun to see a thread about your dungeon design thoughts later on.
Finarvyn:
Personally, I like 5E better than 7E.
I apologize if it's bad form to give a link to another discussion board, but there is a somewhat active T&T board run here and they should be able to give you more feedback.
Peter Nordstrand:
Thank you for the link. It's not bad form at all.
