What are the Qliphoth?

The Qliphoth are not just demons. They are the remains of the Luminous Primordials. Beings who were to gods as gods are to mortals. In their wisdom, or in their hubris, they cast off all of their negative qualities, their imperfections. Their sins. They ascended beyond our universe to places unknown to even the most erudite occult scholars.

But what they left behind stayed with us.

The Qliphoth and their home of Sitra Achra, "The Other Side," has been hidden from mortals for eons. The Qliphoth stayed in their pits, despairing over their lost divinity and have sought the means to reconnect with their divine counterparts. 

Now they have found us.

The Rewards & Delivery

Currently, I am offering Codex Qliphothica as a PDF and Print offering with delivery handled by DriveThruRPG. You will pay shipping costs for print copies through DriveThruRPG.

Writing is done. Art has been purchased. Layout and editing are happening now. 

The only hold up will be print file verification for Print rewards, but this is not my first time working with DriveThruRPG so I expect no issues.

Old-School Essentials Month


Old-School Essentials Month is a group-collab project led by Exalted Funeral and Necrotic Gnome, featuring a new 176-page OSE book β€” the Demonic Grimoire β€” and sister projects from 16 other renowned creators in the OSE community.

The theme of OSE Month 2026 is: DEMONS! Get ready for hordes of new monsters, adventures set in the realms of hell, fiendish new character options, and lashings of blood-dripping art.


Group Achievements

We will be announcing a series of achievements tied to the success of all OSE Month projects jointly! To start with:
  • All projects funded: When all OSE Month projects fund, we will arrange a community Ask Me Anything session on Discord, featuring creators from across the projects. This will be a chance to chat with the OSE Month creators about their projects.

Old-School Essentials (OSE) is a role-playing game of fantastic adventure inspired by classic games of the 1970s and 1980s. Players delve into forsaken ruins, battle fearsome monsters, explore haunted forests and perilous mountain ranges, sail the high seas in search of lost lands, recover fabulous treasures, and unearth secrets of ancient magic.

See ose-rpg.com for more information on the game!
