A few days back, I revealed the covers for the upcoming 2nd printing of the Old-School Essentials Rules Tome. That's not the only book that's being printed right now, though. We're also producing a cut-down version of the Rules Tome, containing only the player-facing aspects of the game (i.e. the core rules, character classes, equipment, spells, hirelings, etc. — without the sections on monsters, magic items, or running adventures). This book is called the Player's Rules Tome. This older post goes into a bit more detail on this book. Until now, the cover of the Player's Rules Tome hasn't been...

We are delighted to announce that we've partnered up with Exalted Funeral to bring Necrotic Gnome's special brand of precision engineered, moss-coated adventure to the United States of Across the Atlantic!

All of the files are in the hands of the manufacturer, so we're just waiting to get word that the printing process has started. We don't have an exact date estimate yet for when printing will be complete and the books shipped to...

We're maintaining a list of products which are released for Old-School Essentials using the third party license (see the license here), so that it serves as a repository of all products released specifically for OSE. (Remember, though, that anything released for B/X or other compatible games is usable with Old-School Essentials as well!) You can view the list here.
