What we’re about
Shadowdark is a new TTRPG which blends Old School Renaisance (OSR) style rules with the modern mechanics of D&D 5e. Characters are heroes rather than superheroes and there is a high level of danger. I would like to run a West Marches style campaign set in a home brewed fantasy noir world. We will meet at the Wheaton Community Recreation Center.
There is an active Call of Cthulhu campaign lurking within the group, and others welcome. Contact the group leader.

Dolmenwood Open Table Game
Omnihedral, Savage Mill, Savage, MD, USDolmenwood, is a table top RPG game about a classical fairy forest and the people that live there and is inspired by ancient British folklore. It is a land of magic, fairies, witches, and monsters! The system is based around the Old School Essentials ruleset, which itself is based on Advanced D&D, it is rules light, very straight forward, and easy to pick up.
I will be providing some pre-gen characters for people that want to get right into the action or people can generate characters when they arrive and join the action that way.
This is an open table / west marches style of game. Meaning that players can come and go as needed. I will make every effort to schedule a game every week, and we will discuss the time of the next game as we wrap up each week.

Shadowdark Campaign: Gunderholfen and Other Adventures
Wheaton Recreation Center, 11701 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD, US**UPDATE: SESSION WILL NOW START AT 2PM.**
A biweekly open-table West Marches Shadowdark campaign based mainly on a collection of OSR adventures written by G. Hawkins.
What You'll Need:
- (Recommended): A laptop, tablet or phone (I will bring a power strip for charging). We will be using a virtual table-top (Owlbear Rodeo), which does not require installation or an account. Alternatively, players can forego the VTT and play using a "Theatre-of-the-Mind" approach.
- (Optional) The Shadowdark RPG Core Rulebook or a downloaded copy of the free Player Quickstart Guide.
- Character design: Players will roll character stats in person, either with physical dice or using the character-creation-rolls channel in my Discord server. Characters start at level 1. Players can create a stable of up to three characters to choose for use in sessions. If a character dies, a new character can be created (at level 1) as above. I recommend that created characters be entered into the online Shadowdark character creation resource [Shadowdarklings.net](https://shadowdarklings.net/create) for long-term storage and updating between sessions.
- You can bring physical dice or use the VTT built-in dice roller.
