The Overlords of Steel is a complete level 1–14 standalone fantasy campaign written by Robert Alderman and designed for use with Old-School Essentials. Set in a distant region of the planet Magis Terra, this 400+ page, FULL-COLOR sandbox adventure continues his ENNIE Judges' Spotlight-winning Gods of the Forbidden North saga. It is fully compatible with B/X and other classic old-school fantasy RPGs.

Explore the perilous megadungeon of Exesed Mordax (“EGG-zih-zid MOR-daks”) and the fuming, acid-scarred lands of Iberia—a hostile realm between the Spines of Arratan and the Sear-White Sea. This cyclopean complex spans 30 enormous 17" × 22" color maps, with multiple levels, interconnected regions, numerous entry points, rival factions, and well over 1,000 encounter areas.

Inside EXESED MORDAX!

Dear Friends,

Deep beneath the wastes of Iberia lies Exesed Mordax, the enormous megadungeon at the heart of The Overlords of Steel.

Here’s an early look at just a small part of what we're building:

Exesed Mordax is designed as a true old-school underworld: huge, interconnected, dangerous, and built for exploration.

Inside you'll find:

30 enormous 17" × 22" color maps
Well over 1,000 encounter areas
Multiple entrances, branching routes, loops, and interconnected regions
Vast natural caverns, ancient ruins, rival factions, and hidden depths
A titanic, multi-headed dragon that prowls the wastes above—and may follow you below

And that's only the megadungeon itself. The Overlords of Steel is a complete 400+ page, level 1–14 sword & sorcery campaign for Old-School Essentials with 120+ wilderness locations, 15 settlements, 4 additional dungeons, and 100+ new monsters.

The campaign launches Tuesday, Sept. 8 @ 11:00am Eastern.

Hope to see you in the depths!

Happy Gaming,
Rob Alderman, PHP
