Wrote some more stuff for my OSE Arden Vul Campaign... what are my house rules? #DnD #RPG #OldSchoolEssentials #ArdenVul https://rpgmusings.com/2025/04/ose-house-rules-for-my-arden-vul-campaign/
Started working on a new sci-fi OSE setting. Did a blog about it for folks that might be interested.

I web-logged an idea to let adventurers influence commoners and other NPCs using the ole turn undead table.

Re: my moaning some time ago about the hurdles of writing Old-School Essentials stat blocks. No, it doesn't take that much time or effort.
But I just came up with six monsters for a Mörk Borg compatible adventure, and it took minutes. Also, the stats are short enough to fit into the encounters table. (Minus armour, cause MB armour sucks imho).
The final post of the challenge! I'll post my thoughts about the challenge later. For now, here's an OSE cat burglar to wrap things up!
Back to Old School Essentials to give me a little break before the home stretch. Who knew that a goblin would be so good at stabbing? I also toss some snark in Gary Gygax's direction.

I'm caught up again! For now...

Wasn't feeling well again yesterday - I blame the weather. So here I am a day late and a character short.

Here's a NPC that I may or may not use for a certain Dread Isle. Half-orc barbarian fisherman was an idea that I couldn't keep contained for long.
Running late with today's entry. Yesterday I ran our first game session of the year. Took up the time I otherwise use for the challenge.
Ayani is a necromancer, but fills an accepted cultural duty - allowing the honored ancestors to have an active role in her culture.

Getting around to putting numbers to a NPC for our Old School Essentials "Nostalgia Tour" campaign. An illusionist/thief who makes trade contacts for his people and may do a little larceny on the side.

Back with another stock character for Old School Essentials! I'll admit this one's a little slapdash. Ran out of time near the end of the post. Having a buffer really improves the quality of these things. I'll be working on that this week.

Sara Rosewood for Old School Essentials. Tackling that quintessential starting adventurer - the human fighter.

Just sprang for Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy Player's Tome and Referee's Tome. Can't wait to dive in!
