Old-School Essentials Magazine Collection by RPG Ramblings Publishing
Gary’s Appendix: Omnibus (Issues 1–6)
Written for Old-School Essentials, the Gary’s Appendix Omnibus collects all six foundational issues of the OSR zine into a single 264-page PDF — re-laid-out with full-color graphics throughout.
What’s Inside:
- 40+ expanded bestiary entries built on the OSE SRD, each with mythology, folklore, ecology, and GM advice — from Acolyte and Basilisk through all seven classic dragon types to Zombie.
- GM articles on encounter design, wandering monsters, dungeon building, sword-and-sorcery adventures, investigation scenarios, weather systems, and more.
- Six themed issues: general GM toolkit (Issues 1–2), Horror & Supernatural (Issue 3), Sword & Sorcery (Issue 4), Slimed! (Issue 5), and Dragons (Issue 6).
- World-building tools, cults, weapons, and magic items from over a dozen contributors.
About Gary’s Appendix
Gary’s Appendix is a periodical zine inspired by the appendices of the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide. Each issue presents an array of GM-facing articles and an expanded bestiary using Old-School Essentials mechanics. The bestiary entries carry OSE stats, but the articles are system-agnostic in spirit — useful at any fantasy RPG table with no conversion needed.
Gary’s Appendix: Omnibus is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
