Dolmenwood is fantastic. Itโs built on the bones of B/X (and written by the author of OSE), but tweaked for its own enchanted fairytale forest setting.

Itโs not only absolutely massive, it sets the standard for interconnectivity and rewarding exploration with reasons to delve deeper. Itโs currently ridiculously cheap at bundle of holding: bundleofholding.com/presents/202...

Factions, settlements, history, treasure, monsters, NPCs; all interconnected in a discrete space thatโs mappable and explorable. Add a town and youโre done.

Taking on the challenge of #Dungeon24 this year! 12 months, 12 dungeons, attempting to write 1 room per day. Kicking things off: the Tomb of the Cursed Three. Who are the Cursed Three? I donโt know! Should be fun to find out. #dnd #gamedesign
