From its humble beginnings as a series of articles published in the form of a zine, Dolmenwood is now coalescing into its final, monumental form: a three book set packed with fairy tale magic and eerie folk horror. Join us as development on Dolmenwood intensifies, building up to the full release of the three hardback tomes:<ul><li>The Dolmenwood Player's Book:&nbsp;A complete player's guide to Dolmenwood, including easy-to-digest setting background and rumours, new character classes and races, fun and flavourful new equipment—including extensive lists of beverages, pipeweeds, and herbs!—plus reams of random tables and optional rules to bring a fairy tale flavour to life in your games. Expected length: 112 pages.</li><li>The Dolmenwood Campaign Book:&nbsp;The essential referee's guide to running campaigns in Dolmenwood, including a full history of the setting, the secrets of the standing stones and ley lines that crisscross the Wood, the factions and powers which vie for control, and detailed write-ups of the 200 hexes that make up the Dolmenwood campaign map! Expected length: 400 pages.</li><li>The Dolmenwood Monster Book:&nbsp;The companion to the Campaign Book, this tome details a host of weird fairy tale inspired monsters that lurk in Dolmenwood, each illustrated in full colour and accompanied by random tables of traits, lairs, and encounters.&nbsp;Expected length: 96 pages.</li></ul>All content is written for&nbsp;<a

Dolmenwood</h1>The forest of Dolmenwood lies in the little-frequented northern reaches of the kingdom, under the rule of the Duchy of Brackenwold. Though mortals, with their towns and towers and cathedrals, now claim dominion over this stretch of tangled woods, fungus-encrusted glades, and fetid marsh, other powers held sway here in ancient times and—some would say—remain the true masters of the realm. Within Dolmenwood, the magical and otherworldly are always close at hand. Rings of standing stones loom in glades hallowed by pagan cults of yesteryear; the energy of ley lines pulses beneath the earth, tapped by those in possession of the requisite secrets; portals to the perilous realm of Fairy allow transit between worlds, for those charmed or fated by the lords of Elfland. Even the herbs, plants, and fungi of Dolmenwood have grown in odd directions, absorbing the magic which infuses the place. Some say that the waters are enchanted. Some say the stones and the earth are too. Step then, bold or foolhardy adventurer, into the hoary forest realm of Dolmenwood and beware, for little here is as it seems!
