Desolation of the Nag Lord: A Dolmenwood Adventure
Old-School Essentials, Welcome to Dolmenwood | Campaign
About the adventure
Dolmenwood encompasses a swathe of tangled woods, fungus-encrusted glades, and foetid marsh on the wild borders of civilisation. In this beguiling realm, the magical and otherworldly are always close at hand. Standing stones loom in hallowed glades, graven with sigils of deep magic. Ley lines pulse within the earth, their potent arcane energy tapped by greedy sorcerers. Secret doorways allow passage to perilous fairy roads, for those charmed or blessed by the lords of Elfland. In an ancient cave, a derelict kingdom of giants was discovered. After awakening from an enchanted petrification, the crowned prince of the giants has informed the Courts of Dolmenwood that a terrible enemy--the Nag-Lord--may have finally harnessed the power to break into Dolmenwood from beyond the known realms of existence. Therefore, a party of astute adventurers will be dispatched to investigate these claims within the brambles and moors of Dolmenwood...

How to prepare
I may need to supply books and sheets to players. A working mic will be required. A working camera will be requested, but not required. A Roll20 account is required. A Discord account is required.
What I provide
I will supply everything for the players, except dice! We will use Discord to communicate. Roll20 will be used for maps, visual aids, etc. Also, when appropriate, ambient sounds and/or music will be used through Roll20. I am hoping to stream/record this game, but only if EVERYONE agrees. I emphasize roleplay and story most in my games, so occasionally I will use special voices for certain characters to give them extra flare. This is a fairy tale themed game, and I want it to flow like one.
Gameplay details
This game utilizes the Old School Essentials system, which harkens back to classic D&D gameplay style. Combat will likely be quicker, and potentially more lethal to characters. It is an incredibly rich setting, ripe for exceptional roleplaying and storytelling. It is inspired by the fairy tales and mythos of the British Isles. Characters will start at level 5, and the campaign will begin in the city of Prigwort. Prigwort is a famed brewing and market town at the heart of the mystical Dolmenwood. Therefore, Breggles, Mosslings, and even some Demi-Fey are commonplace amongst its populace. There aren't Roll20 character sheets for Dolmenwood currently available. But I have them in PDF for players to use. I will supply all necessary content and tools for character creation once players are in the Discord server.

How will character creation work
We will create or adjust characters in Session 0, or 1 on 1 with the Referee (that's me) prior to Session 1. Level 5 characters. I would LOVE to stream/record this game! BUT only if EVERYONE agrees. If agreed, face cams WILL NOT be required, but requested. A picture of your character will be placed instead. A working mic WILL be required!
