OSE Third-Party Adventures & Classes

The Temple of the Serpent Queen

What’s pulp fantasy without a creepy serpent cult? This 60-page old-school ophidian adventure pits players against the sinister Serpent Queen, from the dark rumours of her resurgence in local villages through treacherous wilderness journeys and the ominous temple of her cult.

Featuring nine new monsters, six new magical items, and an escalating difficulty mechanic to challenge players as the cult gains power, The Temple of the Serpent Queen offers a classic reptilian romp for your OSE game.

Video: Expanding OSE with the BECMI Companion

Looking for more options to expand your OSE game? A new video series from Hexed Press takes a deep dive into the BECMI Companion (that’s the ‘C’ in BECMI), an official supplement from TSR that expanded the Basic and Expert D&D line that OSE is based on.

With rules for higher level play, new weapons, expert hirelings, strongholds, combat manoeuvres, and more, fully compatible with (or easily convertible to) OSE, the BECMI Companion might just have that extra crunch you need to develop one aspect or another of your campaign.

Check out Hexed Press’ walkthrough to find out what this classic supplement has to offer!
