Dolmenwood Players Book — Player’s Guide

Step into Dolmenwood: a moss-clad, uncanny forest where fairy bargains bite and everyday folk stroll past ruins that remember names. This Player’s Book is your complete, table-ready companion for playing in a world of British‑folk horror, wonder, and sly menace—designed so characters arrive at the table ready to live strange lives.
