18 pre-made character sheets for Dolmenwood

Hey folks, Let me share these pre-made character sheets with you. They can be useful if you, like me, need to organise a one-shot but they can be handy as well if one of your characters dies and the player does not have a secondary sheet ready to go. There are 8 humans, 3 Breggles, 3 Mosslings, 2 Woodgues, 1 Elf and 1 Grimalkin for a total of 18 sheets, 2 for each class. A couple of notes: The distances are expressed in Goblin Grasps (Symbol: *), my native Dolmenwood measurement unit; 1 Goblin Grasp is 1.5 meters or 5 feet, aka 1 square in most dungeon grids. The sets of attributes have been randomly rolled, but I picked for each class a set with a +1 or +2 bonus in their specific prime abilities and I made sure to use sets with a cumulative bonus of +1 or +2. The characters are going to be used for a Winter's Daughter One shot, therefore abilities that are not likely to enter into play (like the knight Horsemanship) are not listed.

Deep Carbon Observatory Adventure log - Introduction

I'm currently running Patric Stuart's Deep Carbon Observatory for my in-person group in Dundee, Scotland - see my review here . We're using the Dolmenwood ruleset with a handful of house tweaks; you can find our House Rules document here . Our table has seven regular players plus an additional intermittent player. Of the eight, two are new to OSR gaming, and one is completely new to TTRPGs. Before diving into DCO, we ran four sessions of a slightly hacked version of Tomb of the Serpent Kings, an excellent introductory module you can download here . This helped the group learn the system and pick up a level before the main adventure. We've just completed session 11. I'll be posting write-ups of the earlier sessions here, with new entries published as we continue playing. At the start of session 05 - our first session inside Deep Carbon Observatory - the party consisted of: Players & Characters Ash - North, Elf (Level 1) Calum - Hogrid, Human Cleric (Level 2) D....

Review of Deep Carbon Observatory Remastered

Author: Patrick Stuart Artist: Scrap Princess Maps: Dirk Dietwielle I am currently running this module. I tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, but if you are one of my players, please read this after the end of the campaign. Thank you. Just buy this! This is one of the most interesting TTRPG modules I have ever run. Foundational. It will give you a new perspective on what an adventure can and should be. Even if you don't run it, it is so full of ideas, evocative concepts, and amazing art that it is worth your money anyway. The module, in essence, is a dungeon delve preceded by a hex crawl. An ancient dam has collapsed; the Lock Valley is flooded, and the Deep Carbon Observatory, which lies at the bottom of the drained lake, is now accessible. The adventure begins in the town of Carrowmore during the flood. The characters, thrown in medias res, are assaulted by a sequence of micro-scenes where they confront the horror of a humanitarian catastrophe. From there, they move upriv...

Deep Carbon Observatory adventure log - Session 22

Characters and Retainers at the start of the session: Marcus - Melysee, Level 5 Knight Peter - Chadwick, level 5 Mage Ythan - Petra, Level 5 Thief Ash - Xiaverine, Level 4 Grimalkin The Sea at the Bottom of Everything Saturday the 13th am Session 22 took place on the morning of Saturday the 13th, with the Magpies split across different parts of the Observatory and acting independently for most of the session. Chadwick began suspended in mid-air beneath the bridge of the Observatory, spending about half an hour casting ritual spells. By the end of this preparation, he had made himself invisible, gained the ability to fly, and could see in the dark. With these advantages, he descended the vast distance toward the dark sea below. There, he observed a small island of crushed buildings pinned beneath the Nightingale Chain, with the dismembered body of the Giant lying across it. From the ocean, a black mass reached up with pseudopods to pull the carcass down, while several winged...

ITA - La geografia mutevole delle Variabilande ed i loro abitanti

Nelle terre variabili le cose rimangono stabili solo fin tanto che qualcuno le osserva. Mappare la geografia variabile di queste terre è impossibile. Dove ieri c’era un fiume oggi ci può essere una montagna. I luoghi visitati non scompaiono nel nulla, sono solo da qualche altra parte. Se i giocatori alterano l’ambiente (per esempio costruiscono una casa) potrebbero imbattersi in seguito nella modifica fatta. Ai margini delle variabilande le cose sono piuttosto convenzionali ma, più ci si inoltra, e più alta è la possibilità di trovare features e creature anomale. Alcune piante ed animali hanno proprietà anomale/magiche che possono essere sfruttate se adeguatamente trattate. In game la cosa può essere rappresentata con una lista ti luoghi in una tabella d100 casuale, con entrate convenzionali in cima e voci sempre più strambe mano amano che si scende. Quando scopri una nuova feature, tiri un d20 per vedere cos’è ed aggiungi al tiro il numero di features già visitate in questo viag...
