Classic Fantasy or Advanced Fantasy?
Old-School Essentials comes in two flavours: Classic Fantasy (based on the 1981 Basic/Expert rules) and Advanced Fantasy (the same game, massively expanded with content inspired by the 1970s Advanced 1st Edition rules).
This book includes all core rules and player options from the Classic Fantasy Rules Tome, expanded with extra classes, optional rules, and spells.
