Amazing supplement for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist! This helped chapter 2 become my players' favorite sections.

My party and I had a lot of fun thanks to this gem. A must-have if you're running WDH.

One of the cool things about Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is the built-in option for players to run their own business at Trollskull Manor. However, despite the fact that it's a major part of the plot, you don't receive much guidance for how to run it or what you could be doing with it. Essentially, it becomes an "easy" place for players to rest and is forgotten for much of the latter part of the campaign. Fortunately, Options for Trollskull Manor exists, and they are SPLENDID.

Options is what the title says -- different options for how to upgrade, run, integrate, and play Trollskull Manor. You get tons of cool upgrades such as how to add a rooftop garden or laboratory, how to hire more staff, how to turn the manor into barracks, and more. Janek has also integrated this cool Dangers and Blessing table, which you periodically roll on when you return to the tavern. It's nice to not have to come up with these on the fly. Finally, you also get an alternative history of the manor with an undead-based adventure that you can integrate into the game play. It's fully and really well done.

If all that wasn't enough, you also get maps! Maps for the new mini adventure and beautiful, colored and filled maps for each of the five levels of the manor. They're very well done and easy to use, and my players enjoyed getting colored maps. And you get all this for $2.99!

Originally, I'd just grabbed this supplement because I thought it looked interesting and wanted extra help with the tavern component, but now I'm very, very glad I did. Everything is neat and easy to understand, and it gives me and my players the roleplaying and upgrading options that we really, really enjoy. I didn't choose to use the mini adventure, but we still had a lot of fun with this supplement. Definitely recommend grabbing it!

A wonderful companion to Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. The first two sections feel like they should have been included into the original module.

Although some things I decided to modify a little, all the upgrades and "happenings" included in this product help make players really invested in their new headquarters. It truly adds a new dimension to the original adventure that doesn't feel too fuzzy or technical: very easy to start using or modify.

The maps are good quality, and the inclusion of gridded & ungridded versions may feel like a given but it is really appreciated.

The deed is one lovely printable that your table may enjoy: big cheers over here.

Some good options to consider for when the players acquire the deed to Trollskull Manor. The one-shot was a fun little side-quest as well.

The upgrade table is really cool but the Deed and maps are lackluster and the included adventure doesnt really fit with campaign.

Will I use this in my game? Yes. Do I feel like it was worth the $3? No, not really.

This is one of those products you ask, "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS?!"

Well, you don't have to now. It has ideas you've thought of, and bunch you probably haven't. Waterdeep may be slowly fading away...but you can adapt this type of product to any base you care to make for your players. Pick it up. You won't regret it.

I really found the pdf of options to be the most useful in this collection. I love the idea of my group owning a tavern and it helps give me resources for options for them without me having to dig in the DMs guide in prepwork. Very handy! I also like the maps, but am a fairly lazy DM when it comes to maps. If you are particular about how you like your maps looking, you perhaps will want more detailing in it, but if you're like me and just need something to look and feel like the tavern layout for your players to go through, this is great.

EDIT: so originally I could not edit the pdf to photoshop the way I wanted, but the png that was included is able to be opened in photoshop. I still will be printing it out on nice paper and hand writing the names in the deed, which will look great.

original: I'm not a HUGE fan of the deed, but that is because I am extremely picky about my handouts. I wanted to edit the signature section in photoshop so that I could write out Volo's signature but the file is restricted so I'm probably going to hand write a deed myself. If you're not a typography snob like I am, the deed will be fun and great. I just have fairly strong opinions of script fonts meant to imitate handwriting.

Pdf of tavern options: 10/10 Maps of tavern: 8/10 Deed to the tavern: 7/10

I wasn't a fan of the maps of in this. Also the added adventure wasn't level appropriate for any section of Dragon Heist, and didnt' fit lore wise.

This is a GREAT product and WELL WORTH the price you pay! It has everythign you need to build out an amazing chapter - side note I'm copying this review to 'options for troll skull manor' as if you really want to run with the amazing opportunity of building up adn running a business between adventures then THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED ADN WELCOME!

Awesome new upgrades! Clearly put a lot of work into it.

There are a lot of great resources for Dragon Heist, but so far this is my favorite. A lot of great ideas and resources for managing Trollskull Manor, including some nice upgrade options and some terrific maps.

I haven't had the opportunity to utilize this yet, but I really like the content so far. My one comlpaint so far is that the deed has a year specified and unfortunately it's about 100 years different than the year my campaign is set in so I unfortunately won't be able to use that particular piece for my game.

EDIT: With the new universal deed I'm very satisfied with the product. Especially given the price point!

Welcome to Valuetown, population: Purchasers. There's 3 short pieces to this PDF. The first two 'chapters' deal with Upgrading the Manor and Dangers & Blessings. These two pieces alone are well worth the 3$ and I'm pretty pumped to get them in front of my players. While a lot of these options are pretty damn flavorful, some of them may be a little too powerful (extra spell slots, pool of temp hp, etc). This isn't a problem, but be aware that a group who has spent 3-5 months fleshing out a location that gives them significant benefits may need to have encounters adjusted a bit!

The rest of the book is just gravy: Chapter 3 is a mini-adventure that really expands the whole poltergeist thing and adds a bit of extra flavor to the hauntings (and maintains a level of danger even after/if the PCs have befriended the geist.) There are colored maps to put in front of your players with grid & gridless options. And, lastly, there's a handout of the writ between Volo and the PCs [super cool].

I like that a lot of this material is print and put. Get it in front of your players, add to the game visually, and let them make decisions on the options presented. As a DM, I'm looking to add as much content into Chapter 2 and 3 as possible, because this is where Waterdeep comes alive - exploring the various Factions within Waterdeep and maintaining the Manor can be really awesome, deep things. I'm glad someone wrote a bunch of options to make the Manor come more alive - it took a lot off of my shoulders ... and they did a great job with it, too!

Good buy! This pdf is divided into 3 chapters: Chapter 1 is about running and upgrading the tavern. I love the idea of adding upgrades, as helps give flavour to the place, also, the bonuses that the party gets, encourages them to put time and money in to their tavern. Chapter 2 is mostly a table of good and bad things that can happen when you're away. This is another good idea, as the party doesn't always come home to find that all is well. Chapter 3 is my favorite chapter, as it gives the tavern a great backstory and a side quest to discover the it!
