Interest Check: Tunnels & Trolls

I'm looking to GM a T&T game but I see there are none on here, so wanted to gauge interest.

The game would be set in a darker version of the standard TrollWorld. The PC's play members of the watch.

50 years ago North Bridge was a prosperous fishing port. It was one of only two towns where fishing boats could land and then transport the fish across the Iron Mountains into the main kingdom. This made fish very expensive and thus very fashionable. Then a 700 year was against a necromancer king ended and new trade routes opened up through the resultant republic. Fish became plentiful and cheap and North Bridge went in to decline over night. Of the 7 great families who once ran the town, only three remain,  and only one of those is still properly wealthy. Some fishing is still done but 90% of North Bridge's income now comes from pilgrims to the temple of St Goodwin.

Darn. I loved this system as a child, but I don't think I have access to the rulebooks anymore.

 Damn, I haven't seen this one in ages... I actually gave away my copy of Buffalo Castle before coming to the states. ^_^

I would be interested as well.  I started out with T&T's 1st edition, back in 1976, after first buying the D&D original woodgrain 3 booklet set.  Which I could not make hide nor hair of, at the time.  Plus I lived out in the country.  An trying to find others to play a game with, was nearly impossible.  So T&T's solitaire scenarios where a big selling point.

Shamefully not so much T&T games here.

I've played a couple of them (5th and 7th edition), both stopped all of a sudden in the deep of the dungeon delving.

Mindjammer creator Sarah Newton had great things to say about the Deluxe Edition, enough to interest me in a game.

I would be interested as well. I have the Deluxe rulebook and have been hoping a game might come along.
