Elder Tunnels 3 takes Tunnels & Trolls 7.5 where it has seldom gone before--into the science-fictional future of Trollworld. This 42 page zine contains 3 lengthy adventure, and a gag random treasure table--the gag being that you don't get any loot, just the results of your last date.
Brian Penn offers a 15 page solitaire adventure dealing with genetic manipulation. Tom Loney explores magical time travel with Wellsian ramifications. And Michael Eidson demonstrates that the life of an inventor's test subjects are never very easy. All three adventures are written with keen intelligence and elevate role-playing well above the common hack and slash gaming so dear to my heart. Very good stuff indeed!
Disclaimer: I received a free reviewer's copy of the pdf of Elder Tunnels 3, and as the creator of Tunnels & Trolls, I am predisposed to like such material. However, the content of this publication is intellectually far above your general dungeon delving. My only real criticism of the work is that the front cover of Elder Tunnels seems totally irrelevant to the contents.
