If you' are looking for universal and directly compatible old school materials to bridge the original game editions as created by Arneson and Gygax (1974-1985), Holmes (1977), Moldvay and Cook (1981), Mentzer (1983-1986), and other esteemed luminaries of TSR (1974-1989), you've come to the right place. Players of Fifth Edition will also discover much of resourceful interest here, because these historically-informed systems are rules-light and concept-heavy, ready for quick conversion to the ruleset of your choice. In this book you will find over 50 fully detailed OGL-compliant monsters (beginning with the letter A) for use in your campaigns and projects. This bestiary includes challenging and unusual creatures from the World of Oldskull campaign such as the Acephalus, Badgerbear, Dweomerling, and more. All creature types are lavishly illustrated. The Labyrinthine Bestiary takes many of the classic low-level game monsters, and infuses them with deep lore (and new related creatures) derived from mythology, folklore, and weird fiction published during the golden age of Swords & Sorcery. An entire unique and deep ecology for the World and Dungeons of Oldskull is featured herein, where each monster is detailed with meticulous consideration of its place within the larger world. There are no meaningless or inappropriate monsters here. Everything has its defined place and serves to enrich the larger world of lore in ways that deepen the play experience for beginning and veteran players alike.. So if you are weary of dungeons that feature only generic orcs and goblins and bandits with little purpose or distinction, you have come to the right place. This volume features monsters that lair within the Labyrinth of Amber, which comprises the first subterranean level of the Dungeons of Oldskull beneath the Ushirian Manor. These monsters will challenge adventurers of experience levels 1 to 3. In larger numbers, these monsters will serve as worthy adversaries (and companions) for adventurers of any experience level. I hope you enjoy this celebration of the old school TSR gaming tradition. Be sure to watch for future volumes in this Labyrinthine Bestiary series, which will detail many more hundreds of creatures that haunt the Labyrinth of the Yellow King.Another fine gaming supplement from Kent David Kelly and Wonderland Imprints, Only the Finest Works of Fantasy.

ARACHNE: A PYRE OF ANGELS is an unforgettable work of epic fantasy. Kent David Kelly's haunting saga chronicles the death and afterlife of Elspeth Wight, a young Steam Age noblewoman whose beloved sister Christabel has died. Without Christabel, the heartbroken Elspeth forsakes her own beliefs. Tormented and reckless, she dares to believe in the whispers of her mysterious elder - and her childhood protector - Symon Adler. Symon swears to Elspeth that there is a secret afterlife, an unreachable Deathlessness, where Christabel's soul yet breathes even as its memory begins to fade. Symon promises Elspeth that she and her sister will be reunited in a dark and Gothic paradise, the eternal purgatorial netherworld known only as Embris. But Embris is the poisonous essence of temptation. It is the seductive fringe to insanity, the borderland of death. The Embris Gate is shut to all who refuse to sacrifice. In order to descend and embrace her sister's soul, Elspeth must forsake the world of the living. She must poison herself, and choose to die.And so her mortal body dies away. In rebirth, Elspeth's soul experiences a never-ending nightmare, a doll-twisted masquerade that spirals down into a truer reality than our own. Falling into the war-ravaged under-heaven Embris, Elspeth discovers the deepest secret of human existence: death is only our flowering, the soul's one invitation to a bittersweet eternity, one more wondrous than any mortal faith could ever dare to comprehend. Embris is revealed to Elspeth as a venomous Eden, where tortured spirits of the dead are enslaved as puppets and crusaders, forced into an eternal war between primeval horrors of the Light and a legion of darkest angels. Elspeth has no choice but to traverse this grim and resplendent underworld. To free the imprisoned soul of Christabel, she must force her way through poisonous forests, covens of ghost-hounds, and a decaying kingdom reigned over by murdered children. Beyond the reach of storms and madness she must confront her destiny - the terrible secret of the Wight legacy - where it lies buried away, beneath a cathedral carved all of ice. Yet the soul wars are endless, and Fates intervene. Elspeth is stolen away to champion the spider-goddess Atropos. The deepest of living nightmares draws her into a crusade against her sister's deceiver: an unconquerable Enemy. The price and spoil of war shall be her sister's soul. All around her, the last Light of Embris is dying, its warriors locked in an endgame between Atropos and the infernal. As Elspeth nears her the prison of Christabel there rises an Idolater - a dark godling and enslaver of the souls of butchered children - who covets the sisters' bloodline, reaping spirts in a mad dream to create a blacker paradise from the ashes of the old.In the name of love Elspeth finds herself torn in an immortal struggle not only for her sister's soul, but also for her own. For when you die for the one you love, death is only the beginning.

The Batrachians of the Temple Arise! Forever misunderstood but always intriguing, the bold, intrepid Frogfolk are perhaps the most unusual of the iconic adventurer races to be found in the World of Oldskull. Not all of the Frogfolk are evil, or even chaotic. These ever-resourceful dungeon delvers faithfully serve their allies as lethal berserkers, vanguards, skirmishers, ambushers, underwater scouts, and fearless guides to the netherworld below. If you (as a player or Game Master) are interested in adding an unforgettable new warrior clan ancestry to your Basic/Expert or Old-School Essentials campaign, the Frogfolk are here to serve. This unusual character archetype has lurked in the deep background of old school role-playing for decades. The Frogfolk actually date back to the era of the published Original Sword & Sorcery RPG, when the heroes in Dave Arneson's Twin Cities campaign (c. 1973-4) were banished to the Dismal Swamp beyond Loch Gloomen for their failure to protect the Black Barony from invading forces. Other early examples of the Frogfolk races are found in the 1977 Bestiary (consider for example the demonic Hezrou), the 1981 Folio (Gygaxian bullfrog folk, along with the Blindheims), and the 1983 Bestiary II (the Grippli). Background lore dates back to Lovecraft's The Doom That Came to Sarnath (1919), Abraham Merritt's The Moon Pool (1918), and The Harbor-Master by Robert W. Chambers (In Search of the Unknown, 1904) as well as forgotten Egyptian mythology (as Heqet).This game supplement includes lavish unique artwork, a full character class description, detailed Frogfolk powers, and considerable Oldskull lore that allows you to integrate the batrachian people seamlessly into your campaign. Oldskull Frogfolk is a unique and ready to play mini-expansion, researched and created by Kent David Kelly. Another fine work from Wonderland Imprints, Only the Finest Works of Fantasy.
