Wandering Adventure Party

@SharpCheddarGoblin I’m one day planning to run a “Witches of Dolmenwood” campaign where the players are all witches trying bring back the old gods, depose all the monarchs, and bring self sovereignty to the people of Dolmenwood (through community building and mutual aid). I like the setting, but like you I can only read the church, the nobility, and all the other powerful people as obviously evil no matter the framing of the setting as written.

I’m thinking XP for gold distributed as mutual aid, alongside milestone rewards tied to the rebirth of the old gods of Dolmenwood, presented as a sort of animist reawakening to the natural state of the forest, and the toppling of the various monarchic regimes that rule over the land. It sets up the players (who would all be witches) against basically every other faction in the woods, but considering all of those factions are pretty awful, I think that makes sense

This is, also, promising that there might be something in here for me. Always happy to bend and play around with the explicitly stated words of a setting, but if I’m using someone else’s world, I usually want it to be more interesting than something I can come up with (edit: alt text)

@Tim_Eagon I read the third up from the bottom as Monster Bash….

@Tim_Eagon It’s lovely, but between Dolmenwood and the last bits of Invisible Sun arriving, I fear a singularity opening in the bookshelves…

I'm a dedicated #shadowdark DM and fan. Love everything about it -- speed, vibe, the completeness of the system as well as the expandability. But I have to say that I find a lot of the modules and adventures written for it, kinda .... samey. Wish we had something weird and whimsical like #Dolmenwood!

@brianlavelle @deinol oh wow, I didn’t realize the book size either!
