DiceCast™ Episode 4: An Interview with Ken St. Andre, creator of Tunnels & Trolls™

Ken St. Andre is the creator of Tunnels & Trolls™, one of the first RPGs ever made, in fact the first fantasy alternative to Dungeons & Dragons™. For those who are not familiar, T&T is a classic fantasy RPG with a richly-detailed campaign setting that is equally suited for gritty and light-hearted roleplaying. The game was innovative for making solitaire play possible, for allowing PCs to be orcs, and for being purely optimized for roleplaying, rather than for miniatures play. It holds the record for being the oldest RPG in continuous production by its original publisher (Flying Buffalo, Inc.). This episode is a special treat for fans of the Tunnels & Trolls™ RPG, fantasy gamers, and old school gamers in general.

This interview was done over the phone, so some of the audio is not "radio perfect." Mr. St Andre's words, however, are very clear, every bit as clear as his modesty and his commitment to making the fun, satisfying, and unique RPG that Tunnels & Trolls has been for over 30 years.

In other news, we announce the re-emergence of Polymancer's web site, www.polymancer.com.
