Old-School Essentials: Author's Notes on the Rules



Old-School Essentials is an adventure role-playing game of exploration¸ danger¸ monsters¸ and magic. The game is intentionally rules-light¸ putting the focus of play on imagination¸ improvisation¸ and fun. The rules are optimised for ease of use at the table¸ with meticulous attention to wording and layout clarity. What's more¸ Old-School Essentials is 100% compatible with the classic Basic/Expert game from 1981¸ meaning that decades of adventure are at your fingertips!

Author's Notes on the Rules

Old-School Essentials is the product of over two years of poring over venerable tomes¸ discussing rules minutiae with the elite of online RPG geeks¸ laborious writing¸ and painstaking layout work. The result-in the form of the Core Rules and Classic Fantasy books-is a game 100% compatible with the classic Basic/Expert rules from 1981. However¸ no game is perfect¸ and Old-School Essentials attempts to fix some of the most irksome errors in the Basic/Expert rules.

This document describes the tweaks that were made¸ for those with a passion for rules archaeology.
