Troll Generator

In the old tales of the north, trolls are huge, slow-witted and fond of bridges, riddles and stew, and the morning sun turns them to stone. Strong enough to tear a cart apart, they can still be outwitted.

What it is

Trolls are hulking, moss-grey giants who live by night and sleep by day. They are greedy, proud and easily distracted, and many would rather argue about a toll than fight.

Where it lives

Under bridges, in caves on high moors and in the deepest parts of old forests where the sun barely reaches.

Using it in solo play

A troll scene is a negotiation with a threat behind it. Let the oracle decide its mood, and keep track of the time: if you can stall it until dawn, the sun does the work.

Use whatever numbers your game gives a creature like this; the roller supplies the story. Pair it with the yes/no oracle to decide how it reacts, and save anything worth remembering to your notebook.
