Castle Oldskull: Oldskull Half-Ogres (d20)
 |
Vloglok smash!
Here be best half-ogre ever. Stinkiest¸ mightiest¸ drunkenest.
You need crush? Goblinses crush into mush?
We got crushes. We got smashes.
Bah¸ words so boring. Vloglok go stink now.
I do believe that says it all¸ but in case you need a little bit more detail... this book is all about half-ogres¸ the half-forgotten player character race half-devised by Gary Gygax (and then abandoned) in 1979. Herein you will find my own detailed campaign notes¸ bringing the half-ogre up to speed for reintroduction into your own old school campaign.
In addition to notes buffing up the race's complexity gaps (concerning shamans¸ witch doctors¸ spell selections¸ racial interactions¸ level titles¸ name generators¸ haphazard composite armor¸ superior weapon choices¸ etc.)¸ you'll find lore and legendry that goes all the way back to the ogres of yore which inspired Gygax's own ogres in the early 1970s: there are glimmers here of Andrew Lang¸ Charles Perrault¸ Bluebeard¸ Puss in Boots¸ Pinocchio¸ Tom Thumb¸ the Pentamerone¸ and other old fairytales which have all been incorporated into the ogrish lexicon.
It is¸ quite simply¸ the most detailed treatment of half-ogres ever!
Lavishly illustrated throughout¸ with rules that can easily coincide with Basic¸ Expert¸ and Advanced FPRG play. Another fine mini-supplement from Kent David Kelly and Wonderland Imprints¸ Only the Finest Works of Fantasy.
