Bunch of questions. Mostly TTT.

Hey,

Last month decided to grab TTT to add more context to delving, make permament base, etc. Progress with TTT has been extremly slow as it is such a huge content and rule-packed book.

Here are some things I am to this day could not find answer to while rereading the books over and over again:

  1. When rolling All Overcity Room Content results 2-5 do not say what happens after ambush/trap etc is resolved. Like if it is an ambush and there is peaceful resolution I decided to just leave people in there, but what to do when I clear the threat/trap?

Is the room empty and available for sale like 10, or rabble supposed to move in, or I roll again on the table? Book states rarely rooms will be empty, but in my parties' wake in a town they live in half of a block are veggie-shops and half are empty buildings.

  1. Towns Tile Table 55 has M+ (Mansion Master) outside of a Mansion. What exactly is supposed to happen when I bump into this symbol as its description only describes stuff about inside mansions (like audiences) and not outdoors. I just want to visit the room thats behind them and they are in the way.

  2. Can Illusionist learn other illusion spells permanently from other books, like UUU? How?
    EE does not state this clearly. Wizards and Druids burns scrolls for example.

  3. Whats the up-to-date rules on traits? I heard you are supposed to start with lvl 0 if you want to select a trait for a pc. EE mentions nothing like that.

  4. What other books you would recommend if I am more interested in hexploring the overworld with visiting randomly poping dungeons, towns etc. I also want to manage like a troupe of characters.
    Currently Tales From The Adventurers Guild is my next planned purchase for both of those things, but what else I should look into?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Minstrel and Troubadour on Patreon

Hello All, I am new to the game and recently acquired the Expanded Edition Book. I generally play bard type characters in games and I already know that this is not included in this book or any book that is released as far as I know.

However, I have seen a few posts online from the dev that says that Minstrel and Troubadour would be added to the Patreon "soon". These posts were around a year old.

I am not a member of the Patreon yet, but I was curious if any members had seen them added to the Patreon? I went through a year and a half of posts and one of them is called musical instruments for 4ad and there is not any information. I was curious if that document had the classes or if we were still waiting.

Thanks!

TLDR Could any Patreon members tell me if the March 18th post called Musical Instruments includes the Minstrel and Troubadour that were going to be released on the Patreon?

Official document with quick gameplay/rules summary for new player?

Hello

I just got the Extended Edition and would like to try playing the game. I read the rules, but I am starting to get the feeling that a normal play-through will end up involving a lot of back-and-forth through the book.

Since other solo RPGs that I have played in the past had a few-page document with a summary of the rules and mechanics (which does not entirely replace the original material, and that is fine), I was wondering if something similar exists for the up-to-date version of 4AD.

Maybe I did not do my research properly, but I could not find anything of the sort online so far, especially official material.

Best regards
