Battle-Troll

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The world of the sagas is a world of proud and irascible men with touchy tempers and big axes, and about how their bad manners as tourists are matched only by an astonishing inability to get along with the neighbors.

It’s like the Wild West, without the schoolmarm and the preacher, held on a cold windy coastline.

It’s also about blood-feuds, raids, and quarrels, and blood-feuds, and about stealing other people’s stuff and taking one another to the rowdiest courts in the world - and blood-feuds - and being exiled to the far-flung reaches of the world and behaving just as badly there. It’s about visiting other lands, meeting interesting people, and hacking them about with ironmongery, and looting churches because that’s where the gold and silver are kept. It’s about you, me, Onund the dog-faced and his foster father Sven going over to see the farmer across the river to tell him exactly what we think of him.

Personal combat in the Norse sagas is notable for its combination of grim humor, gymnastic violence, and a graphic interest in the details of wounds, especially those with fatal consequences. 

"Battle-Troll" is about all that: It's a fast, bloodthirsty game simple enough to play after several horns of mead. Stolen mead. From a looted monastery.

The PDF download file includes the Battle Troll Action Deck pages.

An excellent skirmish rules system. The author really captures the feel of the Icelandic Sagas. Depending on how many of the optional rules you implement, combat can be a bit slow - straddles the line between a wargame and an rpg. [...]

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.
