Old-School Essentials-compatible apps for players and referees

OSTools is a suite of independent iPhone and iPad tools designed for Old-School Essentials and B/X-style tabletop play. Create characters, organize campaign regions, run encounters, and keep table reference close without losing the feel of pencil-and-paper play.

Two apps, one table workflow.

OSCharacter handles player-side sheets and export. OSReferee imports character data, organizes campaign regions, and gives referees fast access to rolls, encounters, notes, and reference.
