Troll Adventures and Encounters for RuneQuest
The Hungry Ones, The Stone-Eaters …
TROLL REALMS: beyond the pale of mankind, other species pursue different destinies. Not the least in power, dignity, and glory are the troll races, whose ways are at once familiar and shocking, and whose very existence tells of a world humans prefer not to know.
A unique introduction to the stern, humor-filled dark trolls, TROLL REALMS includes adventures, encounters, full troll statistics, maps, instructions, special player information, and many new illustrations and silhouettes.
TROLL REALMS: entertaining and provocative.
- Terrorist Trollkin
- Sly Dark Troll Gamblers and Traders

INTO THE TROLL REALMS is a book of adventures for the RuneQuest roleplaying game.
- It contains three longer adventures each playable for one or more evenings, three extended encounters which may be woven into the other adventures, and two teams and the rules for trollball, the ultimate sport for macho champions.
- “Skyfall Lake” features systematic encounters with troll drink (not for the average guy) and presents a tour of and adventures in an important troll outpost.
- “Grubfarm” brings the adventurers to the source of much troll power, a place where giant insects of many kinds are raised and trained. • “Flying Trollkin” kidnapers subject all the player-characters to a strange and torturous fight.
