Im not sure, but this one hasn’t yet. Also, why are there not just dozens of magic wizard hats in the game? I can think of a few, including the skull cap of wizardry, this is a short-sight for sure! Hope you enjoy!
Available as stock art along with many others.

This is the finalized version of the Brawler, an unarmed combatant with specialized skills. This will be a part of my upcoming (PWYW!) campaign setting for OSE, Danger in the Delta. Which I plan to release May 31st. Also included are 10 dungeons, 3 towns, 5 new magic user spells, a 9 deity pantheon and much more. Please let me know any questions or comments you have! (I never use ai, art is public domain)
My name is Reilly Qyote and I'm working on a new level-0 adventure for OSE alongside author/designer Josh Domanski and illustrator Evangeline Gallagher.
It's called [Dinner With The Damned.](https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/afterthought-committee/there-will-be-blood)
This is our third and final level-0 funnel for OSE. We're so excited to have the opportunity not only to work with one of my all-time favorite artists, but also to join dozens of other creatives in a massive collaboration supporting the new Demonic Grimoire.
Some of the other projects launching with us are:
Abattoir Hymnal
The Black Spire Pact
A Ritual Most Foul & A Delving Most Dark
Dimension Delvers Guide to Demons & Devils
Emporium of the Damned
Hellblaster
Master of Puppets
Mildew and Silver
Skullboy's Illustrated Guide to Demons
The Ooze &
The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura
...just to name a few. They all kick ass and you should check them out if you haven't already!
Anyway, we have 17 projects total running a crowdfunding campaign as part of OSE Month. Ours is the only one that still hasn't reached our funding goal. Could be that the goal is on the higher side. Or that Afterthought Committee doesn't have a strong marketing strategy. Or that we couldn't afford to commission a ton of art ahead of the campaign. I'm not really here to speculate.
What I *would* like to do is talk about our project! I think it's really interesting and fun. We always try to do something a little different with our projects and this one is no exception. So check it out and let me know if you have any questions !
A few of the many pieces I did for Bolvverk Publishing. Unique in that Bart wanted touches of red in there, fun little project illustrating rooms of his dungeon. Check out Barts work here: https://www.bolvverk.com/publishing
I am happy to announce the release of Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms. For details, see my blog post.

I’ll pick up the main demon book, probably hold off on the new OSE edition, and I’m trying to take a good look at the rest.
Just saw this: https://necroticgnome.com/products/wormskin-issue-1
Is this the same as the old Wormskin zone that Gavin used to put out that was the foundation for Dolmenwood? I've heard a couple times that Wormskin was the superior stuff and that the new Dolmenwood stuff was a letdown. Anyone have an inside scoop on the new Wormskin?
This option doesn’t seem as popular in OSE as it is on other game systems. Do tables prefer custom classes or are the current offerings enough?
I'm interested in backing the current backerkit campaign for HELLCRAWL, but can't seem to find reviews for it anywhere. I thought this was something that was funded a while ago and figured some people have had their hands on it already.
If you've had the chance to play, what are your thoughts?
Edit: I found the post that I had seen before. I am read the body and see that it says the campaign will go live this May, as it currently is up.
Which should I go with, I want to buy class and advanced fantasy. Should I get the Old-School Essentials Classic Game Set & Old-School Essentials Advanced Expansion Set or should I buy the Referee's Tome and the Player's Tome? Which is the better value?
I'm aware that the sets are supposed to be the 2 core books broken down into several books each but do you get more with the sets or the books?
Hey guys,
If you ever wonder how your adventuring group would fare if dropped into the heavy-metal hellscape of a grim sci-fi shoot-em-up, well... here's your...erm... shot!
Blast them fiends back to hell!
"Hellblaster" is part of OSE Month- tons of cool creators making tons of cool demon-centric stuff with Necrotic Gnome's Demonic Grimoire at the maelstrom's center.
Writer Nicholas Montegriffo cooked up something quite sinister in vibe with influences from the aforementioned video games to cyberpunk to the 80's and 90's industrial-music bands he probably had blasting in the background as he typed away.
Gotta say though--
It's not just a hack-em-up, the module has tons of opportunity for strategy and roleplay centered around three enemy (or not-so-enemy) factions with room for negotiation amongst them and unique environments that will test your player's resources!
It looks like we might make our stretch goal so they'll be level-appropriate pregenerated characters in case you don't want to risk yours being obliterated into atoms by an ion cannon.

Hi y'all. I am playing solo and would prefer as RAW of an answer and possible. I am a little knew so I still have a bit to learn
So I had a nighttime wilderness random encounter and it was a scorpionoid that was 140 yards ahead of my drow acrobat that was scouting ahead of the party.
Neither of us were surprised, and the scorpionoid was holding a light source
-in this situation would the monster even see me?
-do I have to roll or move silently or hide in shadows to be unnoticed?
-how would the rest of my party avoid this creature? Could my drow scout just got back and tell them to walk around him? Or do they have to do a stealth check?
This is primarily a Gnome and Halfling town with an odd government and economy. AMA. The setting is releasing May 31, 2026. (Not fully edited, writing and layout by me, art is public domain)
L’édition 2026 d’Old School Essentials sera traduite en français :
« Une traduction en français d'OSE 2026 est prévue. Je ne suis toutefois pas en mesure de vous donner pour l'instant de date de sortie. »

So Old School Essentials Month is in like two days and they're releasing the Demonic Grimoire.
