Cairn Essentials
This is my personal attempt to create an Into the Odd adjacent game while preserving the power and advancement of PCs from Old School Essentials in order to allow the game to be compatible with more old-school modules. This game is in active development, and is just a preview of what is to come. While currently playable, the spell descriptions are not complete. Please let me know any and all feedback below. Thank you!
