Carcass Crawler: Issue Two

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Issue 2 of Carcass Crawler — the official Old-School Essentials zine! Each issue is packed with new material for your games, including new character classes and races, new spells and magic items, new monsters, optional and expanded rules, referee advice, news, previews of in-development products, short adventures, and more!

In This Issue

  • New classes and races: Two new elf variants. The phase elf and the wood elf.
  • Item-based encumbrance system: A simple system for tracking characters' loads and movement rates, based on the number of items carried. (No more need to add up coins and weights.)
  • Town services: Guidelines and prices for inns, jewellers, money changers, and traders, including a simple optional rule for haggling.
  • Hiring retainers: Tables and extra guidelines for locating and hiring retainers.
  • Quick equipment: A set of tables for expediting character creation by randomly selecting starting gear.
  • Energy weapons: Complete rules for introducing high-tech energy blades and guns into your game, either as alien relics found in long lost treasure hoards or to accompany the sci-fi inspired classes in Carcass Crawler issue 1 (the hephaestan and kineticist).
  • Snake cult monsters: 8 brand new monsters: creepy undead, guardian constructs, and devious serpents.
  • The tomb of Aum-Pharath: A mini-adventure in the trap-filled ruins of a snake cult temple.
  • Adjudicating traps: Advice and optional guidelines for making traps a fun and engaging part of the game.

Quick Equipment is one of the most useful variant rules I have ever seen in a fantasy role-playing game. This is a must-buy. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
