Nightmare: Trouble With Trolls

Odd Jobs: Volume I is a collection of occult-tinged misadventures steeped in mystery, dread, and the strange. Each scenario offers a self-contained investigation that can stand alone as a one-shot or spiral into a longer campaign. Adventurers are drawn into eerie happenings where folklore, nightmare logic, and hidden truths collide. Doppelgangers spawned by fey trickery infiltrate a family home; a strange new drug opens doorways to a parallel realm haunted by eyeless predators; a cursed dream pulls players into the hunt of a writhing entity from beyond sleep; and in the deep woods, a troll’s standing stones threaten to tear open a permanent gateway to the otherworld. Across these tales, players will contend with bizarre creatures—boggles, ghouls, eldritch moth-beasts, restless spirits, and towering trolls—as well as cursed relics and dangerous artifacts like the Idol of the Ebon Fly or the reality-warping drug Ashwing. The mysteries invite improvisation and paranoia: every clue deepens the shadows, every encounter may conceal a greater danger. What binds the collection together is its mood—an undercurrent of occult dread, where every artifact carries a curse, every monster conceals an agenda, and every mystery threatens to reshape reality itself.
