Old-School Essentials: Old School Stylish. Old School Stylish helps you build a campaign where players “unlock” new abilities through play, and optionally switch abilities in and out like Final Fantasy jobs. Inspired in equal parts by Wuxia stories, Hong Kong action cinema and Japanese RPGs, this supplement will help you put a very different spin on your old school fantasy RPG campaigns!
With Old School Stylish, players don’t just choose classes on character creation. Instead, the GM places “styles” across the game world for the players to discover. They can learn the way of the drunken fist from a martial arts master, mutate telepathic abilities by drinking dubious potions, or invent an entirely new style in the heat of battle. These tools emphasize what happens in the game world rather than what was pre-determined at character generation.
