A couple of Kickstarters designed for Old-School Essentials (the new hotness in the OSR scene) are up. Let's have a look.
Dark Places & Demogorgons for Old-School Essentials
This one is the Peanut Butter and Chocolate of the OSR right now. Dark Places and Demogorgons is a fun setting, OSE is a great rule system. Two great tastes that are great together.
Honestly, outside of NIGHT SHIFT, these are the only two games that excite me right now. AND they both live on the same shelf, so this is kind of a no-brainer for me.
And this one has now hit its funding goal and headed for stretch goals! And the stretch goals look FANTASTIC. I am in on an early bird special, so I am looking forward to all the great stuff this one is going to get for me.
Gateway To Adventure Trilogy For Old-School Essentials
Appendix N is kickstarting a trio of books for Old-School Essentials. So the "Gateway to Adventure" is quite appropriate.
From the campaign page,
Within the Gateway To Adventure trilogy you will receive optional rules and classes based on the Mid-Realm campaigns of R.J. Thompson, as well as lore for the various kin and classes. All of this information will be presented in a way that will be easily transferable into any campaign setting! These books are meant to be cherry picked by referees and players alike to create the campaign that they want to have! Similarly to how we present our adventures, so that every table's experience is different, so too with our rules variants, we want everyone to have their own unique game! All of this in an A5 format so these books fit on your shelf right next to the core Old-School Essentials line!
Sounds like a lot of fun and OSE is my current OSR clone of choice.
