From the promotional page:

What is the Demonic Grimoire?

A hotly anticipated major rules supplement for Old-School Essentials, expanding the game with demons, cults, and dark magic. Contained within this 176-page tome:

• 8 demon lords, detailed with their cults, minions, spells, and hellish domains.
• 60 new monsters, from lowly tormented souls to mighty lords of hell.
• 4 new classes: chaos knight, cultist, demon hunter, tiefling.
• 70+ new magic items of fiendish power.
• Demonology: magic circles, summoning, demonic pacts, familiars.
• Referee advice for building demonic campaigns.
• 120+ black & white illustrations, including a fully illustrated bestiary. Art by Lucas Korte, Kennon James, Tony Hough, Matt Stikker, and other leading old-school artists.
• Pristine control-panel layout to maximise ease of reference and minimise page flipping.

I mean that is cool enough right?

Well, like the man on the TV says, "but wait, there is more!"

Gavin is being joined by six more (at present) projects to expand on his demons book.

• Old-School Essentials Demonic Grimoire
• HELLCRAWL
• No Devil's Land
• Dinner with The Damned
• Emporium of the Damned
• The Black Spire Pact
• Codex Qliphothica: Demons of the Other Side for OSE

Sign up for them all!

If you like that last one, then I have some good news for you. That is my own contribution to OSE Demons Month.

The Codex Qliphothica will cover an entire new race of demons for OSE, the Qliphoth.

What Are the Qliphoth?

The Qliphoth are not merely demons; they are the discarded refuse of the first gods. When the Luminous Ones sought to transcend their flaws and ascend to perfection, they shed their wrath, envy, lust, and despair like snakes sloughing off dead skin. These husks did not dissolve into nothingness. They congealed in the dark cracks beneath creation, howling with the memory of rejection, and slowly grew into self-willed horrors. Where demons embody chaos and appetite, the Qliphoth are anti-creation, seeking to unmake what is whole, defile what is pure, and drag all things back to the Other Side from which they emerged.

The Qliphoth are encountered rarely, for they dwell far below even the demon lords' dominions, in a bleak plane called The Other Side. A nightmare realm of dead forests, cracked moons, and oceans of ash. When they do appear, reality itself seems to warp: sound dulls, color drains, and dreams turn to fevered visions.

My plan (and I am on track for this) is to have everything done to be delivered soon after the crowdfunding ends. Both the PDFs and physical print copies will be handled by DriveThruRPG. 

Cover subject to change, but I rather like this one. And Dean Spencer is really fantastic.

Most of the writing is done, and I am paying for the art upfront. I even have my writing play list ready!

See you on the Other Side!
