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.

Welcome to Dolmenwood

...and beware, for little here is as it seems

This module is a gateway to adventure in the beguiling realm of Dolmenwood—a swathe of tangled woods, fungus-encrusted glades, and foetid marsh on the wild borders of civilisation. Rife with intrigue, secrets, and magic, Dolmenwood draws travellers of adventurous spirit, daring them to venture within.

• Explore the wild places of the Wood, travelling through bramble-choked dells, fungal forests, and accursed bogland, bedding down among root and bracken amid the nocturnal babbling of strange beasts.
• Unearth treasure hoards in forgotten fairy ruins, haunted manors, dripping caverns, crystal grottoes, unhallowed barrow mounds, and abandoned delvings.
• Confront fell beasts, roving fungal monstrosities, terrible wyrms, tricksome fairies, and restless spirits of the long deceased.
• Recover saintly relics and shrines lost in the befuddling tangle of the Wood, gaining the favour of the Church by returning them to civilisation.
• Forage for weird fungi and herbs in the untrod depths of the woods, many with useful magical powers—and many that can be sold for profit.
• Strike against Chaos, defending civilisation from the encroaching forces of the wicked, half-unicorn Nag-Lord who lurks in the corrupted northern woods.
• Unravel secrets of deep magic, charting the obelisks, dolmens, and ley lines littered throughout Dolmenwood—but beware the sinister Drune cult that wards them.
• Seek the counsel of witches or the sinister Hag, wielders of magic that can heal, hex, or divine the future.
• Meddle in the affairs of nobility, allying with a noble house in its intrigues and power plays in the courts of High-Hankle and Castle Brackenwold.
• Journey along fairy roads, ancient magical paths bordering on the ageless world of Fairy that allow travel throughout Dolmenwood—and perchance to realms beyond.
• Return to the homely hearth to share tales of peril with quaint locals over a mug of ale and a well-stoked pipe.

Contains adult themes and elements of horror. May not be suitable for children.
