About the adventure
Pipes on Droomen Knoll is a short introductory adventure and should last about 1 or 2 sessions. From there, we'll open up the game to exploring Dolmenwood in its entirety. DOLMENWOOD - https://necroticgnome.com/collections/dolmenwood Dolmenwood is a fantasy adventure game set in a lavishly detailed world inspired by the fairy tales and eerie folklore of the British Isles. Like traditional fairy tales, Dolmenwood blends the dark and whimsical, the wondrous and weird. Streamlined rules and helpful introductory materials guide novice players, while unique new magic and monsters bring a fresh sense of the unknown to veteran role-players.

About me
Hey there, I'm Matt! I'm a pretty busy family man, father of 3 kids ages 10 and under, but I've always set aside time for TTRPGs which have been a part of my life since high school years. At every step of life I've managed to maintain my status as a "career GM," even sometimes running games for my kids. I've GM'd games at GenCon independently, full-time, for the past 4 years. My game interests tend towards simpler, 'indie' kind of games. Examples are Shadowdark, 'Borgs, Cairne, Dragonbane, Mothership, Alien RPG, Liminal Horror, and so forth.

How Matt creates a safe table
When joining, please share Lines and Veils. Note I have a HARD LINE for sexual themes, racism, bigotry, and discussion of real-world politics. If lines/veils need to be shared beyond that, please do so. Otherwise, join our game with the intent of contributing to a welcoming and collaborative space and contributing to the good time had by all. During session, any player can pause the game by saying "X" or making a gesture with their hands to sidebar with the GM for quiet resolution.
