No tokens / images errors in stats

I am very disappointed, especially in regard to the high price tag. You still have to put a lot of work into it if you want to do it right.

Ignore the guy who has been posting on every OSE Foundry module. This works in the newest Foundry, so it's obviously being maintained and not abandonware.

Price is a little high for what you get, but not going to lie, it saved me a lot of work getting all the spells and such into Foundry. Occasional typo here and there, but it's fine.

I purchased the pack a few weeks ago. I noticed in the mod. I only have the core 7 classes. I'm not seeing all 22, spells for Druid or Illusionist and so on. It seems I have the short version. Am I missing something or maybe a bad download?

Many errors and omissions and no images of creatures in the monster actors. Not recommended.

A solid representation of the OSE rules. Despite what others are saying it is not abandonware, the main developer has recently changed and updates and fixes are being made.

Abandonware beware!

This software is abandonware. Necroticgnome hasn't updated it to work with version 12. This module only works with 11 and it is half finished. Founddry is on Major Version 12 Minor version 3 already, but again this only works on version 11.

The way necrotic gnome abandons their products makes me weary of the kickstarters. It seems with every new product they drop an old one.

Customers be warned! This is abandonware.

Previous problems have been fixed. All the content is there. Only current issue is that the module doesn't show up in v12, despite working perfectly. Changing a field in the module.json allows it to work, so I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated yet. Regardless, works flawlessly otherwise.

EDIT: DO NOT BUY THIS. The module is not compatible with V12, and the developer has gone radio silent so there's no indication it ever will be.

Grab the free OSRIC compendium module and go from there.

Missing random content that isn't missing in the free UFT/Classic Fantasy module. Monsters reported missing in the discord months ago still haven't been added. There is also no art for any of the monsters, just the exact same generic placeholder for each one. It hasn't been updated in three months, as of this writing, and the Discord is pretty much dead. I don't know if it's even in active development, or they're just focusing on churning out the next OSE product, instead of actually finishing this one. This was so expensive for a product that is still so half-baked. It makes Necrotic Gnome look bad and I definitely won't be spending any more money on their VTT products; not while they're partnered with VTT Red. Two stars for at least having a decent base to build off, but I expected a lot more for the price.

Incredible Foundry integration! I love having everything I need to run a session at my fingertips without leaving the VTT environment.

While it's good to have the text of OSE:AF available in Foundry for easy look up and to share with players, the items that were made for use in Foundry (i.e. equipment, monsters, etc.) are full of errors, missing text, etc. The monster entries really especially sloppy, and I've had to go through each entry one by one to fix typos and adjust Foundry-related things like token names, disposition, etc. For a paid product I would expect proper proof-reading and quality control, especially at this price point.

It's unbelievable that they're charging $30 for this. It doesn't work with Foundry v12, so you'll have to install an old and out of date version of Foundry to run it. The developers are non-responsive on the module's website.

It's pretty clear this module and the OSE ruleset have been abandoned by the developers.

The creators are still working on content for this module, the last update was 2.0.1 in September of 2023. This review would be 2 stars if it weren't for the updates.

There are still some things missing in the content, and errors here and there, but the developer does have a roadmap for fixes. Seems to be a one-person venture, and with Dolmenwood's Kickstarter ended (fall 2023 at time of writing), I expect updates to slow to a crawl, but hopefully not.

As others have mentioned, this Foundry module for OSE Advanced lacks content from the books (Monster encounter rolltables, magic items treasure tables, various monter stats) and for a VTT module there's little to no automation features. At this price point I'd have expected more. At time of writing, it's been over 2 months since the last update to this module currently at v1.0.4.

It lacks automation. Some features like drag and drop seem to work. Also, none of the monsters have any art to them. This is why the module gets 3/5

I had originally reviewed this as five stars back when it released but now maintenance of the compendium in the VTT has just out right stopped and VTT Red has been missing for months now.

There is talk that this is finally being addressed by Necrotic Gnome and that a new maintainer of the Foundry Module/Compendium is being searched for but until then Do Not Buy this product we have no idea how long as nothing has been confirmed towards that publicly and even if true we have no idea how long it'll take for this to finally turn around.

If things ever improve I'll re update my review but until then I recommend seeing alternative systems on Foundry to use instead of OSE there are a few far better ones out there.
