Decently-polished version of the first RPG to significantly break from D&D design principles. Good, fun, but suffers from some needlessly racist terminology (corrected in later editions).

I had the 5th edition rules way-back-when, which according to the great and good of Troll-dom is the one to have, but still, this was a nice little walk down memory lane and is still in my opinion one of the best systems around. It's simple, fun, doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to a serious enough system to satisfy the die-hards and even now has a very loyal fan base.

I'd like to re-read the 5th edition rules at some point to note the differences, but anyway, a system to be proud of and an enjoyable and all-to-quick read.

Very good.

Originally written in the mid-70's and probably a bit past its sell date. Very simple to play, a typical Flying Buffalo beer and pretzels game. Had the best solo dungeons back in the day.
