These ever-resourceful dungeon delvers faithfully serve their allies as lethal berserkers, vanguards, skirmishers, ambushers, underwater scouts, and fearless guides to the netherworld below. If you (as a player or Game Master) are interested in adding an unforgettable new warrior clan ancestry to your Basic\/Expert or \u003ci\u003eOld-School Essentials\u003c\/i\u003e campaign, the Frogfolk are here to serve. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis unusual character archetype has lurked in the deep background of old school role-playing for decades. The Frogfolk actually date back to the era of the published \u003ci\u003eOriginal Sword \u0026amp; Sorcery\u003c\/i\u003e RPG, when the heroes in Dave Arneson's Twin Cities campaign (c. 1973-4) were banished to the Dismal Swamp beyond Loch Gloomen for their failure to protect the Black Barony from invading forces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther early examples of the Frogfolk races are found in the \u003ci\u003e1977 Bestiary\u003c\/i\u003e (consider for example the demonic Hezrou), the \u003ci\u003e1981 Folio\u003c\/i\u003e (Gygaxian bullfrog folk, along with the Blindheims), and the \u003ci\u003e1983 Bestiary II\u003c\/i\u003e (the Grippli). Background lore dates back to Lovecraft's \u003ci\u003eThe Doom That Came to Sarnath\u003c\/i\u003e (1919), Abraham Merritt's \u003ci\u003eThe Moon Pool\u003c\/i\u003e (1918), and \u003ci\u003eThe Harbor-Master\u003c\/i\u003e by Robert W. Chambers (\u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e, 1904) as well as forgotten Egyptian mythology (as Heqet).\u003cbr\u003eThis game supplement includes lavish unique artwork, a full character class description, detailed Frogfolk powers, and considerable Oldskull lore that allows you to integrate the batrachian people seamlessly into your campaign. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOldskull Frogfolk\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique and ready to play mini-expansion, researched and created by Kent David Kelly.
