OSR [Old School Essentials] Advanced Fantasy Races?

[RealAlHazred]

A while back I put together a list of Advanced Fantasy OSE races (for those, like me, who do race and class separately). But that was years ago, and a looooot of material has been produced for the game since then. I thought I'd ask the forums for their input, because I'm just one dude and couldn't possibly see everything that's being made for the game.

Here's the list I had come up, with the source:

I find the lack of half-ogre to be disappointing.

The Gargantua from Carcass Crawler 1 is basically one with the serial numbers filed off, no?

And the Ogre from Fiendish Friends or Half-Giant from the Dark Sun book are alternative takes.

I originally read the Gargantua as being a Dark Sun half-giant, tbh, so this seems like a good approach.

I had to run to do a work thing, so I didn't actually get them all from the stuff I've collected. Lisandro Linares also did a Spelljammer conversion, which I believe has a few more, and he's doing an Oriental Adventures conversion that he's currently working on.

On my own, I did an Aarakocra writeup for my blog.

  • Dracon
  • Giff
  • Hadozee

I really need to do the next KS and pick up all of the previous stuff that I can; I haven't been running OSE so I've let my collection get behind!

That said, some of these look like pure classes as opposed to Advanced Fantasy races. Nevertheless, I did do a few of the earlier Kickstarters, so let me get those Populated Hexcrawls out and do a look through!

Ah, I missed the race and class note. I'm a dyed-in-a-wool race-as-class guy.

Ah, I missed the race and class note. I'm a dyed-in-a-wool race-as-class guy.

How well does OSE do with mixing both styles at the table? Are the race-as-class characters roughly comparable to the characters where those two are split?
