The Appleton Family turns simple commoners into a living network of information, tension, and consequence in Trollskull Alley—perfect for adding depth to your Dragon Heist campaign.

Trollskull Manor isn’t just haunted, it remembers. Pack III introduces the Troll Specter and Troll Wraith, two undead threats designed to reshape player behavior, punish careless exploration, and turn a safe haven into a tactical nightmare. Built for D&D 5e and 2024 rules, these encounters bring scalable tension and psychological pressure straight to your table.

Bring Trollskull Manor to life with fully playable NPC stat blocks for Dragon Heist. This free pack includes the Urchins, Lif, and Broxley, designed to create tension, reward roleplay, and add tactical depth to your tavern.

Not all escalation comes from dragons. The Doppelganger Elite and Veteran Warband stat sheets bring tactical depth to humanoid encounters, built to scale through coordination, positioning, and battlefield roles instead of inflated hit points.

Dragon Heist assumes a Level 1 party. Mine wasn’t. Here’s how I rebuilt Bandits, Thugs, and Kenku into tactical urban encounters that actually challenged a Level 3 table.
