OLDSKULL SWORDS & SORCERY - Book One: Adventurers - Human Artistry Special Edition
by Ven [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/23/2023 15:12:50

As someone who has deep ethical issues with the way neural net organizations, nonprofit and for profit corporations, have without any model for consent or remuneration scraped at this point likely hundreds of thousands of living artists (and many more of dead artists whose estates are still in effect) portfolios to create the datasets that form the bedrock of their neural net algorithms, I am extremely pleased to see you support human artistry in this way even as I still abstain from purchasing any of the products you've made since getting on this neural net illustration kick. I want to put my money where my big mouth is on this issue and ENTHUSIASTICALLY support one of my favourite creators in the OSR space when I get a chance to do so in a way I feel is ethical, especially when it's a product of as high a level of quality as this one (and I eagerly await book 2 and beyond based on the quality herein)! I appreciate that you at least give the option to support human artists and I, for one, don't mind paying a higher price point for works of yours with commissioned art compared to the lower effort and lower cost (and frankly aesthetically unappealing to me, though that's separate from the ethical concern entirely) neural net illustration. So many creators who have switched to neural net prompt engineering do so entirely, which always saddens me as I don't feel I can support them any longer even when the quality is otherwise good. Your quality is very often quite excellent, so I was beyond thrilled to see this option. Please do more like it! And again, on the quality of the text, just amazing. This is exactly the level of quality I have come to expect from you, really can't emphasize enough how much I look forward to further entries in this series!

Oldskull Game Expansions Book II - 1977 Bestiary
by Aaron S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/27/2023 15:50:49

If you're like me and looking for a Monster Manual style standalone book for your BX game with all the classic monsters THIS IS NOT IT. Nearly none of the classics are in here. The number of Monsters claimed in the description includes 3 or more versions of each listed (such as adult, larval, and queen Yada Yada) there are very few actual things you want. You're still better off just using the stuff included with your game rules.

CASTLE OLDSKULL - Game World Generator - Deluxe Edition
by Tom H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/12/2023 16:00:47

Verbose, padded, should be edited down to a third the length or less; a good editor might clean up some of the seeming self-contradiction & bits of dubiosu accuracy. This does have the longest lists of ideas that I've seen in a product like this, but with rather mixed quality & sometimes surprisingly narrow focus. The author assumes very strongly a AD&D 1E/Unearthed Arcana world mode. The thread of the writing gets even harder to follow in the City State extension, and the assumptions a lot stronger, although there are also more novel ideas there.

There are modern game systems or supplements with better hexcrawl/campaign-building advice, and several series of completely free blogposts do a better job of the core procedure.

OLDSKULL LIBRARY - The Call of Cthulhu
by Allan B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/01/2022 00:00:16

I'm a fan of H.P. Lovecraft. Some of his writing is dry but very well written. I found this to be an amazing book. The artwork is superb and really brings the story to life. Keep up the good work.

CASTLE OLDSKULL - Oldskull Dungeon Generator
by Chad B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/09/2022 17:28:56

I had come across Castle Oldskull before, and finally picked up The Classic Dungeon Design Guide (and many others) due to the sale.

This book has got to be my favorite of the bunch.

I am currently running though a random dungeon with this, using bits from the Guide and Traps books, solo with Scarlet Heroes rules and having a total blast!

Like someone else said this is much like a hyper version of the 4AD generation rules, with access to a lot more detail you might want for a full RPG. Should I survive/ever get bored of the dungeon I'll probably take the same hero through some city-state encounters and perhaps use the Adventure and World Generators to see where that takes me.

Kent David Kelly has done a great job with these books.

CASTLE OLDSKULL - Oldskull Dungeon Generator
by Courtney D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/22/2021 07:59:31

If I had to sum this up in a few words, they'd be "Comprehensive and potentially cumbersome." This generator can cover all the bases of a dungeon's generation from corridor to corridor, room by room, from size to the contents within. It gives detailed descriptions from a first person perspective, using precise measurements that easily snap to a grid. If you go entirely by this book to set up the contents of each room, you might roll some pretty special stuff to put in, but the process will slow to a crawl as you jump to and fro throughout the book.

I would've appreciated more images for the corridors and room sizes rather than plain text, but since its descriptions work hard to ensure you actually get the image the author intended, I'll have to settle for that. It is also appreciated to have sections clearly numbered and referenced throughout the book, making it easy to find where you need to go.

For those of you looking for a on-the-fly map generator, this is an excellent option.
