Trollpak: Troll Facts, Secrets and Adventures [BOX SET]
"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 trollkin. Includes troll character generation; troll monsters; a player troll's primer of troll society; an exhaustive analysis of the great troll 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 troll 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.
* Olag Stonecrusher's Map."

Troll Gods: The Deities of Darkness [BOX SET]
"The Year is 1622 S.T. ...
THE FIRST RUMBLES OF THE HERO WARS can be heard, and a time of change is upon the world of Glorantha. The Uzko, known to humans as trolls, the masters of the night, lords over the wastelands of Glorantha, have remained passive and hidden for centuries. Now they are beginning to stir.

In their wrath, the most daring Uz have begun to call upon all the strange and powerful gods of the darkness. Even the most sinister gods, such as Annilla, feared goddess of the Blue Moon, are rumored to be gaining converts (though no one has yet survived to substantiate such a disturbing rumor).
The trolls will have their revenge on the foolish humans that have so ruthlessly mistreated them since the world changed. The cover of this box shows one form such a revenge will take. A high priestess of Aranea, Mother of Spiders, has visited her pleasure on an unlucky group of human adventurers, who are now wholely or partially transformed into that most favored of creatures, the arachnid. Strangely, some of the adventurers seem less than thrilled with their metamorphosis.

Troll Gods is a Gloranthan supplement for RuneQuest. A companion piece to Trollpak, Troll Gods is the definitive work on the subject of troll deities. Specific contents are:
1. The Troll Cults Book contains comprehensive information on each of the fifteen most widely worshiped Troll Gods. The book contains 79 new spells for RuneQuest, as well as new skills and new monsters, and is profusely illustrated. Several cults appear for the first time in this supplement.
2. Minaryth Purple's Troll Facts #3: the Gods and Magic of the Uzko (Jonstown Compendium #270,173) is a facsimile of a rare original document from the archives of the famous cult of Lhankor Mhy, God of Knowledge. This dangerous document was commissioned at great cost by a member of the Sartar nobility, and reveals many jealously-guarded troll secrets. The noble is reputed to have disappeared soon after receiving the original document, but the facsimiles are available for those who dare to read them. All aspects of the original document have been painstakingly maintained, including the three different styles of penmanship used, and certain other peculiarities as well, of which it is not safe to talk.
3. Glorantha: Primary Troll Regions is a map of the entire world of Glorantha, showing the twelve most populous and influential troll regions. The areas correspond to the character generation areas in Trollpak. so the map is a handy reference for troll character generation."

APPLE LANE, SARTAR — In a particularly vicious pre-dawn attack, the notorious bandit Whiteye and his trollkin gang raided several farms in the Apple Lane region — without warning or apparent cause.
Whiteye has long been a nuisance to merchants, farmers, and travelers-at-large. Despite previous attempts at his capture, the wily bandit always has eluded Sheriff Dronlan's men, retreating to his secret hideout located among the numerous hills in the region.

"You may find yourself at odds with the evil Cruella Vulten, the most evil woman in Santon and a "Daughter of Darkness" in her own right. She is prominent in several of the nine adventures presented in this adventure module for RuneQuest. But beware of her influence because many of her known adversaries have vanished into thin air amid whispers of "men in black."
Cruella is just one of many of the fascinating characters awaiting you in Santon. Some will be good, and some will be evil. Some may want you to work for them, and others will try to have you killed. Daughters of Darkness has it all; dangerous expeditions and deadly intrigues, a city of crime and corruption, and the evil denizens of chaos. All this has been prepared to be ready for you to be a part of the action and adventure!
Your saga begins in the city of Santon, with these adventures, in the poorest district on the Menetian peninsula...
* "The Affair of the Ancestral Ring" is the quest to help a woman of a powerful family. The ancestral signet ring of her family has been stolen by Cruella Vullen, who plans to wear it to publicly disgrace the family honor.
* "The Adventure of the Gyvreck Sodality Cult" is begun by an offer of employment. The mission, to uncover the terrible secret hidden in the temple of Gyvreck, the almost forgotten river god. Unfortunately, this task may be more than anyone bargained for.
* "The Adventure of Ilwraith's Cache" is the attempt of a grateful prisoner, freed from the Gyvreck Sodality Temple, to repay his saviors. Ilwraith has a cache hidden in the wilderness, where he had to leave it due to the threatening Shen Barbarians. All he asks is three-fifths of the treasure for himself, and he will make his rescuers extremely wealthy; or will he?
* "The Revenge of Cruella Vullen" is the culmination of the saga as
Cruella proves that "Hell hath no fury..." Hunt sea monsters with Captain Ahab. Meet the cunning and beautiful Rella, the ruler of Reamrha Isle, and mistress of Castle Droma. Battle against great chaos monstrosities. All this as you fly a collision course toward Cruella's terrible vengeance."

Land of Ninja
4th Volume

"In this book you will find all you need to begin your adventures in the mystical Orient. On 144 pages, including many evocative illustrations - many in full colour - you will find information which will allow you to convert RuneQuest Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure into a game of Japanese adventure. You will find information about the adventuring background, and the necessary changes to the rules covering magic, combat (introducing rules for Japanese weapons and armour) and skills.
Two brand new ideas add flavour that makes Land of Ninja a unique setting. The 'Honour'
system restricts the actions of the characters, so that they perform in true samurai spirit. The GM awards positive or negative HON points, and the score is used as a base for interaction with NPCs. Being recognised in a new town, asking for a favour from a lord, getting training from a renowned master - all these are subject to a successful HON roll.
With the Ki magic system, characters tap the inner power of the individual. It focuses on the belief that the most effective action is one performed in a single surge of force after much preparation. As characters start becoming exceptional with certain ordinary skills (getting them above the 90% mark), they develop parallel Ki skills. Characters can expend a magic point or a point of POW, perhaps perform a Ceremony, and then carry out amazing actions, such as throwing a string of shuriken or climbing sheer walls. These super skills allow a character to behave more like a movie version of a Japanese warrior than the ordinary game, so watch out!
The adventure shows exactly what roleplaying in Nihon is supposed to be about, with plenty of chances for ritual suicide when things go amiss.
Wear the two swords! Be at one with the universe!! Act honourably in all things! Adventure in the Land of Ninja"
