Submit to the Elder Ocean!
Gifts of the Elder Ocean is a supplement for Old-School Essentials, and other retro TTRPG, that will mutate your campaign into a gonzo world full of amphibious monsters.
- An uncaring eldritch god, the Elder Ocean, that can be inserted into any setting, and a generator for random oceanic cults. Will your party fight against these petty temples and their plots, or will they help them acomplish their sinister objectives?
- Two new classes, the Fish-folk, a mutant adventurer who specialize in underwater fighting, and the Frogling, a weak humanoid that can be useful as a scout (should any player wish to be one).
- 99 unique mutations, ranging from all-powerful blessings to curses, that will make your characters life exciting! Most mutations are themed around marine life forms, which give the whole random table a coherent feeling.
- 6 new monsters: tribes of Froglings and Sea Giants, Sirens ruling underwater cults, Mutagenic Eels and their double-edged venom...
- 7 magical items related to water, ocean or mutations, including the Blessed Fishing Rod that allows for miraculous harvests, and the Primordial Life Grenade that warp the flesh of its victims to create new unholy creatures.
This supplement is 20 pages long (including cover), illustrated by the talented Aron Rodriguez. It's entirely free if you want, but any help is appreciated if you like the project, as I worked on it for a long time (and it would allow me to get more art for future projects). I would be very happy to read your feedback, especially if you used it in your games!
"You now have strong, frog-like legs."
"Once per day, you can exhale a cloud of steam that completely obscures the room you’re in."
"Your skin and muscles become translucent, showing your skeleton and your internal organs."

"Après chaque nuit de repos, vous vous réveillez avec une perle dans la bouche."

Soumettez vous à l'Ancêtre Océan !
Gifts of the Elder Ocean est un supplément pour Old-School Essentials (ou autres JDR old-school) qui transformera votre campagne en un monde gonzo pleins de monstres amphibiens.
- Un dieu alien et indifférent, l'Ancêtre Océan, qui peut être inséré dans n'importe quel univers de campagne, et un générateur de sectes océaniques aléatoires. Est-ce que votre groupe affrontera ces petits temples et leurs complots, ou les aideront-ils à accomplir leurs sinistres objectifs ?
- Deux nouvelles classes, l'Homme-poisson, un aventurier mutant qui se spécialise dans le combat aquatique, et le Froguelin, un faible humanoïde qui peut servir d'éclaireur (pour peu qu'un joueur souhaite en incarner un).
- 99 mutations uniques, qu'il s'agisse de puissantes bénédictions ou de malédictions, qui vont ajouter de la surprise dans la vie de vos personnages ! La plupart d’entre elles sont liées à l’eau ou aux formes de vie aquatiques, ce qui leur donne une cohérence générale.
- 6 nouveaux monstres : des tribus de Froguelins et de Géants des Mers, des Sirènes régnant sur des cultes sous-marins, des Anguilles Mutagéniques et leurs venins à double-tranchant...
- 7 objets magiques en lien avec l'eau, l'océan ou les mutations, incluant la canne à pêche bénie qui permet des pêches miraculeuses, et la Grenade de Vie Primordiale qui dissout la chair de ses victimes et la reforme en une nouvelle forme de vie impie.
Ce supplément fait 21 pages de long (incluant la couverture), illustrées par le talentueux Aron Rodriguez. Vous pouvez le télécharger entièrement gratuitement, mais un soutien financier est apprécié si vous avez aimé car j'ai travaillé dessus un long moment (et cela me permettrait de commissionner encore plus d'arts pour de futurs projets). Je serai très heureux de lire vos retours, particulièrement si vous intégrez ce projet dans vos campagnes !
"Vous avez désormais de puissantes jambes de grenouilles."
"Une fois par jour, vous pouvez cracher un nuage de vapeur qui masque complètement la pièce dans laquelle vous vous trouvez."
"Votre peau et vos muscles deviennent translucides, dévoilant vos organes internes et votre squelettes."

Wow really cool supplement! Very complete :
- Some lore geared towards table usability (love the procedure for generating a pelagic acolytes lair/temple);
- Two new classes that seem perfectly balanced (replacement dwarf and replacement thief);
- A d100 mutation table, 6 new monsters, 7 new items.
Haven't checked all the mutations, monsters and items for now. Dowloaded it for free at first to check it out, but now sending you the suggested price, if not only to encourage you, also because you included wonderful art which must not have been free :) .
I already had a project for an aquatic dungeon (for after 2025, probably, though) and maybe also will play Isle of the Plangent Mage in my campaign as a side quest for retainers, so I'll keep in touch if I use it and have feedbacks or if in 2026 I see a potential for a partnership.
Cheers :) !
Thanks very much! Yes, the artist gave me a very good bulk price, but it was all paid work.
I would be curious to hear about your aquatic campaign, also if you publish your dungeon I would love to slot it into my own current nautical campaign. As for 2026, I don't know at all what I would be working on at that time but a nautical collab would be cool (one of my players suggested a random table for fishing mutated fishes, and I though about an elf-like race of psionic crustacean, so there's room for a volume 2) :)
And thanks for the buy, I didn't see! All the money I make with the project serves to commission artists for the next one, it will help a lot :D
