Been down with COVID-19 so most of my posts have been things I wrote a while back.
But here is something new, some of my latest mail calls. All with a Basic, as in B/X, theme.
Up first is the OSE version of Dark Places & Demogorgons.
I like the idea of an OSE version, but I am more likely to play it using its original rules. Still nice to have and the Cryptid Manual is a great addition to any OSE game. My only question is do I shelves these with my OSE books or my Dark Places & Demogorgons ones?
Speaking of Demogorgons.
Ryan Thompson's Demonology for OSE is now being shipped. I have already stated most of these creatures for myself (and many posted here) but it is always nice to see more and different takes on the same creatures.
This is OSE so it is compatible with B/X and DP&D OSE above. Bring in the real Demogorgon into your DP&D game!
Since it was Halloween, I treated myself to another adventure.
Witch, Grave, and Haunt from Pacesetter Games is for BX and 5e. I got the BX version.
The "Witch" portion is an updated version of The Witch of Monte Rosa. There are some changes to the adventure which is fine. The other two are not unknown to me, but this is the first time I have them in print.
This and the Demonology book will work great for my War of the Witch Queens campaign.
And finally, I have been playing a LOT of Baldur's Gate 3 so I treated myself to a little Print on Demand fun.
This is Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II, released to support the Baldur's Gate II game back in the late 1990s. It would be nice if Wizards put out something to support the new game, given how popular it is.
I am in the same boat with OSE DP&D. I will most likely run the classic Survive This version, but it's still fun to have in OSE form.
ReplyDeleteI hope that means you're feeling better. The Demonology one made me think of Gargoyles that I watched on Disney+ a year or two ago. The flying brown especially looks like Hudson.
