Invited to tea by a seamstress said to weave magic into the garments she creates, players venture beneath the eaves of Dolmenwood. Arriving at her cottage, they find the home hoisted high in the branches of an oak tree, the sounds of smashing and shouting coming from within. Can players defeat the weaver’s capricious captors and finally sit down for that promised cup of tea? This Quick-Start introduces players to the Dolmenwood RPG—a weird fairy tale adventure game, conjuring the wonder, horror, whimsy, and strangeness of British folklore. Official Module Description We'll be playing some Dolmenwood, the OSR game by Necrotic Gnome of Old-School Essentials fame. Basically, it's a modernized version of B/X D&D with its own setting, simple to understand and easy to get going. Will use the polyhedral dice, and your fanciest red hat.

In today's world change comes fast and uncompromising. For as long as anyone can remember, the Elder Kindred have been wary of modern technology and failure to embrace it has enabled the Anarchists to grow in power and influence. The Camarilla has deemed that this cannot continue. They have decided to act by claiming every city they can before the Anarchists, and all their fancy technology move in. Or before the Sabbat find more fanatics to fill their dwindling ranks. That's where you come in. Your Sire has decided to relocate to the capital city of North Carolina called "Raleigh." For now, Raleigh is unclaimed by any major clan or power. The Anarchist perhaps have the biggest claim, but as AI companies and tech giants build huge data centers and infrastructure in and around there is a city that is ripe for claim by any clan willing to get their teeth dirty. But of course it’s never so simple. One thing about Raleigh that has kept the Vampires away: It is surrounded by massive pine forests and vast wilderness that could be, though maybe not, home to the Lupines. And due to the city’s close proximity to the wilderness, the Vampires wanting to claim the city could have much more to contend with than each other. Your goal is a simple one. You are going explore this vast city and gather as much information for your sire as possible. You are scheduled to meet a fixer at a place called the "Raleigh Times" on W Morgan Street. You are given no other information other than than this fixer is shall we say..."quirky." Best to be on your guard as you enter into a potentially dangerous turf war. What do I need? 10-sided dice of two separate colors. Traditionally black and red dice were used but as long as you have two separate dice colors, any colors will suffice. Pregen characters will be provided

“You tell the story but nobody ever believes it. Harvest festival is coming up. Hoping to win this year's best apple pie competition with your great grandma's secret recipe. Only just as the apples are almost ripe, it looks as if they've been stolen right off the tree. Kids probably. You almost catch them once or twice. See a small figure sneaking around. But with green skin? Who'd believe that. And on the day of the festival itself, all the entries in the largest vegetable competition have been hollowed out. Filled instead with... fireworks. Juice and pulp everywhere. And a guy at the back of the crowd in a long coat just laughing. Beady eyes and... a fake moustache? Old uncle Joe used to rave about the pests causing mischief in his garden. Maybe he was right? Goblins..."

Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind's howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd's face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.
