1E Advanced! Core Creature Framework

Rediscover the depth of advanced OSR gaming.

1E Advanced! Core - Creature Framework is a vital guide for Game Masters seeking to restore tabletop roleplaying’s intricate mechanics. Rejecting the simplicity of modern RPGs, this guide helps you manage and create advanced creatures with precision and ease. Its structured template brings monsters to life through unified classifications and standardized combat mechanics. Compatible with OD&D descendants (B/X, 1E, 2E), its goal is to keep the spirit of 1E alive. It strives to preserve 1E’s potential for tactical richness while making creature management and creation accessible to all GMs. 

As the first volume in the 1E Advanced! Core series, Creature Framework reclaims some of 1E’s visionary ideas, moving away from compromises and trends. 

Embrace the legacy left by 1E, embrace tradition, and (re-)embrace the ideas of a remarkable game without peer.

1E Advanced! is my humble contribution, designed to reintroduce the ideas of the advanced game in a clarified and "playable" way - one that encourages usage and growth beyond us old hands.

PS - this helps me to release my monster book - it's around 300 pages right now, but I needed something like this to base it upon.
