What is it about?
Tunnel Goons provides a short framework for characters, equipment and uncertain actions. Although it appeared within an adventure publication, its author explicitly proposes it for many genres and settings. Its simplicity has provided a starting point for hacks including Kobold Krew and Crime Goons, each with its own changes.

At the table
A referee describes the world and players decide how to act. For uncertain actions, roll 2d6, add relevant advantages and compare the total with the difficulty.
