Demesnes & Domination
Bryan LarkinDemesnes & Domination is a rules supplement designed to compliment OSR games by allowing players and referees to introduce high level campaign concepts without feeling overwhelmed. Domain rules are managed by the Demesne Turn which represents one month in game where the action at the table zooms out and allow players to choose what to invest their treasure in, engage in Domain Encounters, and make meaningful choices to maintain a settlement's morale before zooming back in to the boots-on-the-ground adventuring the party already does. All of this is done using familiar mechanics that players and referee's already use at their table for easy and quick integration.
To aid with the Demesne Turn procedure, the referee is given a variety of tools to help them create interactive situations and help them generate meaningful events for players to engage with. Invest in expanding your settlements and the people that populate them to gain passive treasure from the growing population! Engage in diplomacy to scheme and plot, go to war and have both tactical mass combat or quickly calculated auto-resolutions if desired! Create an endless sandbox of medieval fantasy for players to explore!
