I take on the Referee’s Tome for Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy, from Necrotic Gnome and Exalted Funeral. Is this a fantastic companion to the player’s Tome to bring Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fueled adventure to the Old School Essentials B/X skeleton? Or it this a case of been there, seen that for the umpteenth time? You’re going to find out!

    Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy Referee’s Tome | Review and Page-Through

    While I wouldn't recommend Old School Essentials as someone's first RPG they ever buy, anyone with a small bit of knowledge about the hobby can certainly do no wrong picking up the OSE series. This Referee's Tome is overflowing with a monster bestiary, treasure info, magic items, and more. Combine this with the Player's Tome and you have all you need to enjoy decades of adventures published for the world's first fantasy RPG. Obviously this is a game master facing volume and, outside some trying to get a foot up on the monsters and their stats, really isn't something players need add to their collections. I've got to say this hardcover rounds out the OSE trifecta with another ten out of ten!
