5e to “Dolemenwood” D&D

It has arrived. I backed Dolemenwood on Kickstarter an age ago, and oh boy was it worth it. I can’t stop geeking out over how aesthetically marvelous it is. It makes all my OSR goat headed ogham dreams come true. 💕 @iamloufryer.bsky.social @nordgames.bsky.social

Check out Adventures in Dolemenwood, our campaign journal!

Pettigrew Snidebleat~ a former brigand, she began the campaign a reckless, self destructive fighter. Slowly through good deeds, acts of heroism and chivalry she has become a knight of great esteem, drowning out her past mistakes with work and duty. #dolemenwood #ttrpg

These feel particularly Dolemenwood encoded!

I’m going to pitch #ValleyOfFlowers and #Dolemenwood to my adult group. I wonder if they’ll go with Arthurian or Folktale fantasy.

Whatever they choose I’ll be heartbroken to not play the other. I want to get into these realms and live in them for a while.

I can definitely get behind bonuses to initiative, etc. Humanity in these games is adaptable, it's easy to find all kinds of little things that make them stand out.

I think I've just been looking at the wrong games. ACKSII (sadly that uses AI, but I can't refund it) and Dolemenwood, for example.

7/8 Using discrete dungeon crawls helped get everyone used to the #Dolemenwood play style. Each dungeon has links to wider conspiracies that build up over time and are expanded on in social encounters. A Festival of St Clewyd point crawl set in Prigwort introduced major factions to the players.

I appreciate the rule in 🍄 Dolemenwood 🍄 that allows some non-martial classes & kin to use instruments, cookware, & even food as improvised weapons (1d4 dmg)
