"an excellent new setting" - Gavin Norman, creator of OSE and Dolmenwood
“9/10…it is that good…and excellent addition to anybody’s gaming collection…” – Jeff McAleer, The Gaming Gang
"...great concrete advice...a lot of clever work...great if you want [something in a] classic fantasy or fairy tale vein..." - Ben Milton, The Questing Beast
“17/20…my favorite book of 2021…Rackham Vale is amazing…” – PM Schramm, Geas Publications
“Magnificent! What an incredible work.” – Diogo Nogueira, Ennie-award winning author of Halls of the Blood King
Created by game masters for game masters, this setting features more than 100 of Rackham's illustrations and has been written and arranged to maximize utility at the table and minimize GM prep time.
Each of the 18 locations includes Who/What Is Here and What’s Interesting About It sections, plus Encounter Tables—making it possible to run the setting as a sandbox, pointcrawl, or semi-hexcrawl.
Each of the 27 bestiary entries includes What It Is, What It Likes, What It Hates, Allies, and Enemies sections, plus role-playing guidance and stat blocks using the ultra-lean and adaptable Old School Essentials system.
Also included: an original map optimized for FGU use, a handy factions chart, 63 adventure hooks, 3 dungeons, 8 new magic items, and 7 tables for generating creatures and locations on the fly. Enter the Vale, discover it’s secrets, adventures, and intrigues, and celebrate the iconic work of one of the greatest fantasy illustrators of all time.

So hey guys! I've been converting together with Brian, the writer and owner of Crowbar Creative, the Rackham Vale setting for FGU since May. We took our time to make it the best quality and conversion we could.
As it is a setting, you can insert it into your table with some of the hooks or even use it as you please.
It's super fairy and mystical, and as any OSE content, incredible deadly. The creatures that Brian wrote are amazing and super well thought.
This was also my first converted module, so i'd love to hear feedback from you guys. There were some automation that I couldn't do because of complex mechanics from the setting, but everything is well laid out so the referee know what to do with a click of a button :)
What do I need to use this setting?
You only really need the base OSE Ruleset, but there are common/mundane creatures and basic itens that we do not cover in Rackham Vale, so you won't have stats for it without the OSE content modules.
