Dolmenwood: The Blackapple Brugh

Dolmenwood is a fantasy adventure game set in a lavishly detailed world inspired by the fairy tales and eerie folklore of the British Isles. Like traditional fairy tales, Dolmenwood blends the dark and whimsical, the wondrous and weird. It is and OSR game based on the Old School Essentials rules by Necrotic Gnome

We will be using the Dolmenwood setting and rules for this game so you will need to have the pdfs from the kickstarter in order to play. If you do not have those, here is a link to the SRD: Dolmenwood SRD. It is now complete however to please stick to what is available.

I'm as new to this setting as anybody here, so we will be learning the lore together. The Pipes on Droomen Knoll is the introductory adventure in the Campaign Book. If we finish and enjoyed this game, we can move on to things like Winter's Daughter, Hole in the Oak, and other OSE/Dolmenwood whimsical goodies.

Dolmenwood Character Creation

• Attributes: Roll 4d6 drop the lowest in any order.
• Max hit points at 1st level.
• Roll for equipment as shown on page 19 or step 8 in the SRD.
• Armour: Use the expanded armour list to roll for starting armors.
• Cleric gain one first level spell at first level.

Motivation and Backgrounds

• Pretty much to explore the Dolmenwood and find treasure but definitely include any personal goals.
• That said characters should want to help find the lost kid, defend the town, etc; no evilness.
• Please make use of the random tables for each kindred.
• A short background is fine but having it come out as we play is fine too.
• Alignment: If you want to add a moral component to Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic scale be my guest. As long as that moral component is Good or Neutral that is 😆
