I share my review of the first adventure anthology for Old-School Essentials, from Necrotic Gnome and Exalted Funeral. The 64 page hardcover contains four varied fantasy roleplaying tales for character levels first through ninth. Included are The Jeweler’s Sanctum by Giuseppe Rotondo, Curse of the Maggot God by Glynn Seal, The Sunbathers by Brad Kerr, and The Comet That Time Forgot by D. M. Wilson and Sarah Brunt.

SUMMARY

This first Old-School Essentials adventure anthology is solid overall. I especially dig the first two adventures while the other two are simply okay for different reasons. Regardless, there's a good amount of gaming contained within the books 64 pages and a nice mix of tales too.
