Been on an Old-School Essentials bender now for a while. It has pretty much taken over as my OSR game of choice. So I was quite pleased when my OSE boxed sets came in the mail this past week.
They are quite great.
Let's take a look at that Old-School Essentials Product Catalogue 2023. Cause I have to admit that hit me right in the nostalgia.
It reminds of the old "Gateway to Adventure" ones we got in the various Basic Sets and it is the size of the old Kenner Star Wars ones.
It is reasonable to ask why did I get this when a.) I have a bunch of OSE material already and b.) It is really the same game I bought 40 years ago?
Well, I am running my War of the Witch Queens game and my oldest is running his own OSE/BX game now in addition to his 5e games.
These will get a lot of use.

You bought the bank!
Those look great. I'm really looking forward to Carcass Crawler #3, I thought the first two were exceptional and I'm excited for more.
Those box sets are awfully tempting, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to store it on a shelf right now lol. Still, absolutely gorgeous sets regardless- OSE by far is the most appealingly put together B/X-based retro clone.
