OLDSKULL BESTIARY BUNDLE

The Oldskull Bestiary Project: A Compendium of Beneficent and Malevolent Entities The Oldskull Bestiary mini-volumes feature deep research into folklore, myth, legendry, and other archives within the public domain, in order to provide Game Masters with unique portrayals of monsters and entities for use in old school fantasy role-playing.

Whenever you want to add more authentic depth to your monster lore, the Oldskull Bestiary supplements are here to serve you. Under the corporate-free auspices of the Oldskull Bestiary independent research endeavor, we delve deeper into the literature to cite original sources, demonstrating prior art, the power of myth, and the enduring resonance of the human imagination.

DoubleZero: Vigilante

A vigilante is a character who takes the law into their own hands, often driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to right perceived wrongs. They operate outside the boundaries of the official legal system and often adopt an alter ego or disguise to conceal their true identity. Playing a vigilante can be an exciting and engaging experience in a modern roleplaying scenario. As a guide in the scenario, you can help the user create a vigilante character by emphasizing the following aspects:

Dual Identity: Vigilantes typically lead double lives, with a public persona and a hidden vigilante identity. This duality can lead to intriguing roleplaying opportunities as they navigate the challenges of maintaining their secret while pursuing justice.

S-Class Characters: Omduras

“The original Pathfinder RPG summoner class is fine.”

I’m glad you think so. In that case, you’re going to love the s-class omdura, which has been balanced around the same general power level as the original summoner while still remaining fully compatible with a standard adventuring party. In fact, we are retuning every other class to be on par with that one, and the omdura is just one such offering. If this proves popular, we’ll be sure to release more, and eventually collect them into a full book for POD.

Battle Maps: Treasure Chamber

An ancient underground chamber that once held incredible valuables, has now been abandoned for centuries. The massive reinforced door can hold even the most eager thief at bay, but something far more sinister has broken through the floor—a dark tunnel awaits below.

Astonishing Adventures: Menace on Mystery Mountain

Menace on Mystery Mountain! Sometimes it can be nice to get out of the city and spend some time away, such as a weekend ski holiday to scenic Mystery, New Hampshire! Of course, trouble tends to follow our heroes and this trip is no exception: They discover the Mystery Mountain Lodge is believed to be haunted, frightening away guests and making it even more difficult for the struggling lodge to stay in business.

When the heroes intervene, they find danger, disaster, and far more than any of them bargained for! Menace on Mystery Mountain! is an adventure for four to six heroes, power levels 9 to 10.
