T&T translates surprisingly well, at least the bits I've played so far, 
perhaps because TFT and T&T both use only 6 sided dice.  The combat is 
vastly superior using TFT -- my character, Padraic O'Chaeleichair (OK, so I 
use my own name, only with the old Gaelic spelling.  Helps me identify more 
strongly with the character!), survived one surprisingly exciting HTH combat 
against a one hex dragon.  Using TFT the combat lasted four or five rounds, 
while using T&T rules the combat was interminable.  And I died using T&T.  
What is neat about converting T&T solos is that they do have a different 
flavour from the published TFT solos.  For instance, reaction rolls are more 
common, which means you probably will want to spend some of your APs on 
charisma or sex appeal.

I've had fun recently with Warren Dew's The Crown of Kings, but my favorite 
TFT solo is Treasure of the Silver Dragon.  I know T/SD has its flaws, but 
the dragonodon Toltec environment was refreshing.  My favorite over all 
solo, though, has to be Barbarian Prince.
