PRINT VERSION AVAILABLE: Wondrous Weavings Warped & Weird is now available, revised and expanded, inside the Axian Library book.


Wondrous Weavings Warped & Weird is an alternate arcane magic system for Old-School Essentials and is compatible with similar clones of the Original, B/X or BECMI editions of the classic fantasy role-playing game.

The system is heavily inspired by how magic works in the stories by Jack Vance and Fritz Leiber. More than a little inspiration comes from fairy tales and folklore too.
These rules apply to both the magic-user and elf class. The referee may of course decide to extend some or all of the following rules to other classes.

The overall result of these rules is that arcane casters are somewhat more versatile and powerful at the beginning, and a bit less almighty at upper levels. The larger impact on the game, however, comes the introduction of Magical Mishaps, which give spell casters the option to increase efficiency and power if they accept a certain degree of risk.

Wondrous Weavings Warped & Weird comes as two files: a PDF designed for screens, and another designed for print-at-home on A4 paper, with easy instructions to print, fold and staple/sew it to make a nice little zine-like booklet.

Hello, Loving this so far, Although I have a question. When "Ritual Casting" spells, the turns taken are "Exploration Turns" or "Combat Turns"? Can a Magic-User even Ritual Cast spells in combat? (with the dangerous possibility of magical mishap because of interrupts and the chaotic nature of battle).

Ritual Casting takes exploration turns. Combat turns are actually called rounds in OSE!
The idea behind Ritual Casting is to see more use of utility spells, which often are neglected in favor of combat spells. This way, you don't need to prepare them but still be able to use them if the need arises and the party is willing to invest the time, consuming resources and risking wandering monsters (which might interrupt the ritual).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
