OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

[Nikosandros]

A new Backerkit page just went up - Old-School Essentials Month (Backerkit). Main focus seems to be demons/the Demonic Grimoire, but apparently this also is the larger project, in which you will be able to get printed copies of the new version of the rule books.

I wonder if the new OSE manuals will be available separately before that. They are already complete (save, perhaps, for some final edits and proofreading), since the Italian translations has been published.

Has there been any announcement or hint about where and when the necromancer class will be published?

If I got that right from the AMA (on the NG Fan Discord), the necromancy book will come later:

Personally, I would have preferred it the other way around (I have less interest in the demon book). But I also don't want to complain too much as I have ample material for Dolmenwood now.

I was undecided between the two interpretations and I picked one... which was wrong.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to answer. It's been such a treat to get a preview of something I'm really looking forward to.
