I bring you my review of the second volume of the B/X Advanced Bestiary series from Third Kingdom Games. Designed for Old-School Essentials, the book can be used with just about any OSR fantasy roleplaying game. You’ll find plenty of variations of creatures and monsters found in the Classic Fantasy Rules Tome as well as new entries too.

SUMMARY

The BX Advanced Bestiary Volume 2 is not only crammed with loads of variants of OSE core creatures and monsters, as well as fresh entries, but it's also chock full of useful information to really bring those core critters to life at your game table. The production quality is very nice on the hardcover too and I can see a GM running any old-school styled roleplaying game getting tons of use from this bestiary.
