I have claimed for decades that my favorite edition of The World's Most Popular Tabletop Role-playing Game is Aaron Allston's 1991 Rules Cyclopedia. And then my old college chum started an OSE campaign and I came to realize it was basically the best parts of the RC, cleaned up and laid out in a more sensible, usable fashion. If you & your gaming pals like anything from the Old School Renaissance, OSE is very likely to become your go-to interpretation of how to roll goofy dice and pretend a goblin just perished. It is SO good, and SO fun, and not encumbered with a lot of the bells and whistles that - while sometimes satisfying - tend to bog down "modern" editions. Well worth the handful of electrum.

Ignore the guy who has been posting on every OSE Foundry module. This works in the newest Foundry, so it's obviously being maintained and not abandonware.

Price is a little high for what you get, but not going to lie, it saved me a lot of work getting all the spells and such into Foundry. Occasional typo here and there, but it's fine.

I purchased the pack a few weeks ago. I noticed in the mod. I only have the core 7 classes. I'm not seeing all 22, spells for Druid or Illusionist and so on. It seems I have the short version. Am I missing something or maybe a bad download?

Many errors and omissions and no images of creatures in the monster actors. Not recommended.

A solid representation of the OSE rules. Despite what others are saying it is not abandonware, the main developer has recently changed and updates and fixes are being made.

Great Adventure. The layout is nearly perfect and enables the DM to run this gem with nearly no prep time. The dungeon itself is quite innovative and a lot of fun to run.

All in all one of the best adventures i have ever run.

Abandonware beware!

This software is abandonware. Necroticgnome hasn't updated it to work with version 12. This module only works with 11 and it is half finished. Founddry is on Major Version 12 Minor version 3 already, but again this only works on version 11.

The way necrotic gnome abandons their products makes me weary of the kickstarters. It seems with every new product they drop an old one.

Customers be warned! This is abandonware.

Previous problems have been fixed. All the content is there. Only current issue is that the module doesn't show up in v12, despite working perfectly. Changing a field in the module.json allows it to work, so I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated yet. Regardless, works flawlessly otherwise.

This book rocks. Gorgeous I love it more than I can say.

EDIT: DO NOT BUY THIS. The module is not compatible with V12, and the developer has gone radio silent so there's no indication it ever will be.

Missing random content that isn't missing in the free UFT/Classic Fantasy module. Monsters reported missing in the discord months ago still haven't been added. There is also no art for any of the monsters, just the exact same generic placeholder for each one. It hasn't been updated in three months, as of this writing, and the Discord is pretty much dead. I don't know if it's even in active development, or they're just focusing on churning out the next OSE product, instead of actually finishing this one. This was so expensive for a product that is still so half-baked. It makes Necrotic Gnome look bad and I definitely won't be spending any more money on their VTT products; not while they're partnered with VTT Red. Two stars for at least having a decent base to build off, but I expected a lot more for the price.

Great adventure location. Lots of things to play with, interesting folks to meet, hijinks and shenanigans to get up to. Very OSR / sandboxy, not a linear "adventure" at all.

It's got interesting greater world hooks for anyone interested in the (currently publishing / fulfilling the Kickstarter) Dolmenwood setting, as well.

Incredible Foundry integration! I love having everything I need to run a session at my fingertips without leaving the VTT environment.

The optional D6 thief skills rules are the main reason to get this issue for me. The options for adjudicating thief skills are also helpful. The Acolyte and Mage classes are well done and probably better for newer players or short games than the existing Cleric and Magic-User. They may also serve experienced players well. In a longer game the Mage will likely make finding and scribing scrolls play a larger role in the game. I thought it was funny that the Mage and Acolyte adopt the % system that the D6 Thief Skills was moving away from. I think I'd prefer a d6 skills for Mage and Acolytes rather than %.

I'm not itching to add black powder fireams to my game but I appreciate the rules here in case it I need them. Some of my players feel the Combat Talents get away from the strength that is OSE's simplicity and start to feel too much like 3e or 5e but I know other players like them. The Hephaestan is a vulcan and the Kineticist is based on force-users from Star Wars. They could be fun to add but some players might feel they don't fit in some settings.

Overall, this is a solid issue of the official OSE zine and I'd recommend adding it if any of the above appeals to you but I definitely don't see it as essential and I'd pick up certain 3rd party OSE and general OSR supplements before it if I somehow lost access to my books and files. Carcass Crawler 2 is somewhat stronger in my book and its closer to what I want from an official OSE zine.

Good adventure! It's pretty easy to run and to prepare - and I think even without preparation you could just take this and have a good time together with your players. Plot is decent and it could be run as oneshot in few hours. You have combat encounters, different NPCs (I like to use silly voices) and puzzles in it.

I've runned it for 5 3rd level characters - don't do this, it was walk in the park. I think 2nd level would make things tense, but not deadly for new to hobby players. We make it into 3 hours - I dropped stage of tavern whispers gathering and allowed them shortcome some of encounters by smart play.

The most iconic characters of this adventure as for me are the waltzing couple in the center of crypt. I played them as totally bored from dance him "10 years of dance without break, can we talk to those guys" and her like "save your breath, dear, we should make this 13 years challenge". They both are friendly unless you "wake up children" and could be used as tipgivers, if party is stuck on puzzle.

In general my player's opinions were divided on my run of this adventure: girls were "that's a blast", but guys were like "boring, we want more and harder fights". But I think in general adventure is pretty good and I am going to run it again someday. Recommend to buy it!

It has been very useful to me, I'm doing something totally unrelated but the calendar made me have a resource to especify a lot of events through the year with the separation and lunar cicles perfectly put so the "dramatic time" was perfect. 5/5
