Onward Into Dolmenwood!
As many of you know, in addition to Old-School Essentials I've been working on another major project over the last few years: the Dolmenwood campaign setting. Well, now that the Advanced Fantasy books are rolling off the production line, my thoughts have been wandering back to Dolmenwood.
In case you're not familiar with Dolmenwood: it's a folklore-themed campaign setting for Old-School Essentials, located in a creepy, fungus-encrusted forest. The
free Welcome to Dolmenwood PDF gives a great (and spoiler-free!) introduction to the setting and its flavour.
The project: Dolmenwood will be published in the form of three big hardback books (of the quality you know from the Old-School Essentials books!): the Dolmenwood Player's Book, the Dolmenwood Campaign Book, and the Dolmenwood Monster Book. The plan is to run a Kickstarter for the books once they're ready. There's a lot of work still to do, though, so the exact date of that is as yet undefined.
A regular dose of Dolmenwood: In the meantime, I've launched a
Patreon for the ongoing development of Dolmenwood. Patrons will get access to roughly monthly packages of Dolmenwood content, ranging from playable classes and races, weird folkloric monsters, descriptions of clusters of hexes on the campaign map, write-ups on factions and settlements in the forest, and so on.
Hope to see some of you over at the Patreon!
