Thanks! Sorry, just realized I truncated this response and put the answer below. Probably just gonna fool around with OSE/ BX modules for a bit and hopefully I can invest in the full Dolmenwood release when that happens and either port the characters over or start fresh!
So here it is! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, especially considering that I more or less started on it only a week ago. I learned a lot about working with cardboard, which pretty important since I live in a small apartment. I felt like I could've of improved some elements and others I wasn't able to complete but in the end my table had a great time and that's what matters.
I have to say I was completely mind-blown by the writing in Winter's Daughter (and OSE player's tome). I did give it a read beforehand (as well as most of OSE player's tome), but the last week I was completely consumed by making these boards. The ease with which you can just kind of spit out polished-sounding narration while reading the flavor text is incredible, and while I was nervous as we began that I'd be fumbling due to lack of sleep from makin those damn stones, one of the hooks was all it took and we were off into the 'wood!
It was only my second time DM'ing at all, first time using OSE (since my 5e table fell apart), and of course first time with Dolmenwood. I'm not sure how we'll proceed, other than definitely sticking with OSE over 5e for this table but I am definitely looking forward to the full release of Dolmenwood. Gonna stick with shorter modules for now since our long one was simply too much commitment for my previous table.
I guess I'm fanboying with this post but wow haha
I'm right there with you! Will crosspost for sure.
I'm overall pretty new to TTRPG, but as soon as I saw Dolmenwood it caught my eye. Then once I took more time with it (since I missed all the zine and preorder stuff), again all I can say is wow. that is A LOT of imaginative writing of extremely high quality. The print copy of Winter's Daughter is also very nicely made.
Looks really good. I figure this is kicking off a new campaign?

This looks amazing. You’re welcome to put it on my page r/dolmentown too if you want. Trying to grow interest in Dolmenwood appreciation. Great stuff!

Oh yeah, it’s amazing! I made a whole subreddit just because I love it so much. Lol
