Troll & Hero

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Ever wondered what magic smells like? Wanted more from alignment than a simple label?

Heroic fantasy role playing with a simple system, this book is the core of the rules and covers character creation, combat and skills, plus foundational rules for things like fatigue, memory and movement. Additional books will include an expanded combat system, more (and more detailed) character races, religion, more types of magic than you can shake a wand at, and a fully realized spirit world.

The Troll & Hero system uses both skills and classes so that you can use level based character classes to get started, yet smoothly transition to completely skill based play when comfortable with the rules and desiring the extra freedom. Moreover, the two approaches can be freely intermingled as they are only two faces of the same coin. Both are first-class citizens with classes having the advantage of simplicity and completely skill based being more flexible.

Determine your character's overall alignment through individual alignment traits which drive how your character will react in any given situation. Alignment traits are not fixed in stone, but can change through game play -- and will change depending on how the character is portrayed. Discover your character’s alignment by working through his personality using a bottom-up approach rather than trying to interpret a general alignment to specific traits or behaviors.

The combat rules are simple and intuitive, but provide a flexible approach that permits both realism and fantastic elements. The magic rules provide a basic framework for magic that is seen, heard and smelled without locking it down to a specific approach. The spirit rules follow in a similar vein by providing the core definitions and rules for including spirits in game play.

These core systems can be fleshed out by the aspiring game master, or the official expanded rules can be used which provide for martial arts, additional skills and classes, more hazards, and so on. There are also additional rules to expand the scope of magic to include many different approaches including a variety of religions.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
