Description: Trolls are an iconic monster in D&D and other TTRPGs and we love how they make for a gross and creepy encounter - but if your group can spot them, then combat can be over quickly. Here's why we find them inspiring and how we keep trolls fresh in our dungeons and dragons campaigns. Support us by supporting Monte Cook Games!
