Trollpak
The year is 1621 S.T.
YOU ARE WARRIOR TROLLS of Dagori Inkarth — huge, fearless, bellowing a mighty battle-cry as you charge the trembling ranks of your enemies with mace in hand. As your foes flee, your thoughts stray to the victory feast planned for midnight. You lick your massive chops at the thought of the tender morsels of elf that will be served. Your two trollkin (the puny, weak-willed creatures that serve you) stop to strip the valuables from fallen opponents as you continue your inexorable advance!
Trollpak is a comprehensive analysis of the Uz, known to humans as trolls. The Uz are one of the major non-human species of the world of Glorantha. The cover of this book shows the imposing size of these fearsome beings of darkness. Almost every aspect of the Uz is examined, from their crude military practices to their redoubtable digestive systems.
Trollpak offers a unique opportunity to imaginative gamemasters and players who wish to run believable non-human characters. The trolls of Glorantha are complex beings, not simple monsters. Their ways of life and thought processes are as remarkable as their massive bodies.
Trollpak includes:
- Thunderbreath Gobbleguts Menu — a remarkable Uz artifact, obtained at great cost to life and limb: a menu from one of the notorious, revolting Thunderbreath restaurants. Do you dare look inside to see what foods trolls consider to be delicacies?
- Uz Lore — a compendium of troll secrets from across the ages, filled with maps of great troll campaigns and history, comparisons of troll types, troll biology, and other mysterious lore from the archives of Lhankor Mhy.
- The Book of Uz – a complete book of information for player character trolls and trollin. Includes troll character generation; troll monsters; a player troll’s primer of troll society; an exhaustive analysis of the great troil cult of Kyger Litor; data on the giant centipedes, spiders, and other huge arthropods used by trolls, or fought by them; and a comprehensive encounters and statistics section for troll lands, usable both by troll characters and their enemies.
- The Munchrooms — a full-scale troll combat scenario, equally suitable for new troll player characters or for experienced human characters, The scenario is presented from two different points of view, first from the point of view of the trolls, next from that of rebel trollkin who have courageously defied a trail tribe. The Munchrooms offer a first-hand look at the pathos of the troll/trollkin relationship. The scenario is specifically designed to give new troll or trollkin characters plenty of combat experience, while revealing some of the darker concerns of these fascinating Gloranthan beings.
- Map of Dagori Inkarth—a large, four-color map of one of the most important troll regions of Glorantha, suitable setting for a multitude of adventures or a complete campaign.
