[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 9124812, member: 50895"] Well, not yet, but in the earliest stages of doing so. I am in the process of re-developing my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror for OSE (Old School Essentials). I am about to contract a designer/collaborator with extensive experience working with OSE. Aside from adventure material which will need created, as far as main books go, I see a [B]GM's Guide to Kaidan,[/B] as a pocket version of the existing GM's Guide to Kaidan (Pathfinder) focusing on the archipelago, important locations, history, etc. Then I think I need an [B]OSE Advanced Classes Guide for Kaidan[/B], trying to shoehorn the various class types from Kaidan to best fit OSE rules, so somewhat simplified versions to capturing the range of classes that should be included (samurai, yakuza member, shinobi/ninja, yojimbo bodyguard ranger, onmyoji wizard, various clerics and monks, etc.) Something I never created for my PF version of Kaidan, but something still needed will be a [B]Kaidan Bestiary[/B] with 20 - 36 monsters and races.
