Deathtrap Equalizer Dungeon

From The Acaeum Wiki


Deathtrap Equalizer Dungeon, the 2nd solitaire adventure for Tunnels and Trolls, is hosted by Umslopagaas of the Shiny Teeth—pictured on the back of the 12th printing—who transports the character randomly to one of 16 rooms. Characters with magic are limited to the first five levels of spell-casting, and a lucky male character may stumble upon an opportunity to sleep with a beautiful woman. In the first edition 19F is an unreachable key and an advertisement for Starfaring.

Afterword by Rick Loomis

12th printing

In the afterword Rick Loomis advertises a solitaire dungeon subscription opportunity: the next four dungeons for $10. He also asks for solitaire dungeon submissions, and announces a pay scale that goes up to $100 for a camera-ready dungeon with plenty of artwork.

In the 12th printing and the 1st printing of the 2nd edition, the afterword has been amended to remove prices, but the subscription offer and the request for original solitaire dungeon manuscripts still stand. The afterword is removed completely from Talbot cover printing.
