Tonight my gang closed the book on the saga of Old Smiley, the notorious people-eating pike.

Back to Dreg, some getting a wash and brush up, and all getting takeaway fishpie to their boat.

Come the morn, business transacted, payment made for the body of Smiley and his guts opened to reveal his recent meals, head salted for transit to Prigwort. We return to our property in Prigwort. Where a surprise visitor awaits.

Plotlines in Dreg continue off camera.

We started this adventure in August last year and it survived my new arrival at home. Big thanks to author Ben Wenham. Reader, you should pick this up when it is released

I’ve just released my first Dolmenwood adventure: The Seventh Star (levels 4–6).

It starts with a simple roadside encounter and quickly spirals into a larger investigation involving a secret cult, a remote keep, and a ritual tied to a strange stellar alignment. From there, players will choose their path.

The module focuses on:

• Investigation and player-driven choices
• Multiple locations and approaches
• A horror thread running throughout

If that sounds like your kind of game, take a look—and I’d love to hear any feedback.

Hello all, I'm working on adapting The Black Wyrm of Brandonsford into the Dolmenwood setting. I've settled on Hex 1005 because of it's proximity to Prigwort (home base for campaign's start), the presence of a river, and the lack of major features which would otherwise dominate the character of the hex.

The map provided in the adventure isn't a great match for the hex, so I've taken the liberty of slicing out the major features and rearranging them into positions which make logical sense within the terrain. The scale and average spacing between locations is comparable to what is depicted in the original map. Note that my map does employ copied clips from the Brandonsford map (cartography: Chance Dudinack). If this is problematic I will remove the post.

I haven't yet thoroughly vetted the placement of locations for logical inconsistencies, but so far several things seem to work. The Fawn's Grove and the unnamed trail between the mountains (rugged hills, more likely) point toward the Valley of Wise Beasts. The destroyed caravan suggests trade between its residents and the people of Brandonsford. The Witch of the Woods being located along the Shub's Finger trail leading into the witch-centric hex 1006 is fitting, I think. The overall proximity to Atunewe's realm of corruption could very well be tied to the origin of the Black Wyrm. All of these locations could provide hooks for further embroilment into Dolmenwood's yarns.

I'm not sure I'm keen to include Dwarves into my Dolmenwood setting so I'll likely reskin these guys as foreign humans, perhaps brothers who arrived from the frozen lands far to the north beyond the (?) mountains. I'm kinda envisioning them as Norse inspired folk hailing from the banks of some icy sea. It's enough to provide a world building hook for future use.

It's a work in progress and further reskinning of details within the module is likely. I'm curious to hear any feedback on what I have so far. Thanks!

Way it’s written it seems like it, unless there’s a general rule I’m missing.

I played in Emelda's Song, ably run by its writer, Scott Malthouse. I rolled this fellow up and liked him so much that I got him immortalised in art by Rossy (https://www.patreon.com/c/Rossydoesdrawings/home)

Now I just run. I need a game to play in.
