ADD TO WISHLIST >

"So you fancy yourself a hero? Well, it's a dangerous thing to set off into the wild places of the world, into the realm of legend. Dragons and monsters and worse await you. But if you've both blade and heart as strong as steel, then perhaps you might become a legend yourself - if you're willing to set off on The Hero's Journey."


The Hero's Journey Fantasy Roleplaying™ is a complete tabletop roleplaying game based on and compatible with Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox™. It provides fourteen classes, a complete bestiary, rules for adventuring, with optional rules to help you tailor your gaming experience and tell the legendary stories that you've always imagined. All you need is this book, a few dice, and a stout heart.

Inside these pages you've find a information from previous supplements in the White Box line of products published by Barrel Rider Games that have been compiled, updated, streamlined and integrated with the material found in Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox™ to create a complete roleplaying game. This information has been packaged in a clean, visually appealing design to create a game with the options of fantasy gaming from the 1980s and 1990s while holding to the simplicity and flexibility of the early days of the hobby.

From what I gather, the 2nd edition had a fix for unintentionally inflated movement rates that allowed for covering huge amounts of distance.
Shouldn't 1st edition get that fix as well?

The BRG team has no plans to update THJ 1e to reflect changes made in the second edition at this time.

Thanks for getting back to me.

That would be perfectly understandable (an old edition doesn't have to be updated to reflect changes made by the new edition after all)...except that the changes to movement were *not* part of the edition change.

Movement distance was the *same* across both editions (120 feet per round for a human, 240 when running) until someone noticed that characters could cover vast amounts of distance per round.
It was then fixed (to 40 feet per round, 80 when running) *only* for 2nd edition.

This isn't a conscious edition change from 1st to 2nd, it's an issue that was present in both editions (due to sharing the same rule), that only got fixed in one edition while leaving the other behind despite having the *exact* same problem, so I hope you reconsider.

I got an update notification for this(several, all dated June 21st, filling out my entire "Changes Made" history for this product), but no listed changes.

From what I can tell after thumbing through the new version for a bit, the blue chapter header bars have vertical white lines on them.
There's weird stuff like "Experience Aoints (XA)" on page 23, but it still reads out as "Experience Points (XP) when you copy/paste the text.
General image quality also seems notably lower.

Is this some kind of mistake?

Previously there was an issue with page 46, and while there was no patch notes the latest update seems to have fixed it. See my comment below for further details. Mathias is right though, it seems to have caused the two issues that he mentioned at least, not great but better than the missing page before.

Also Alan I'm not sure if this helps but here is the last email I received about it:

Hello,

Thank you for your patience while we resolved this issue.

We have resolved this issue, you should be able to view it on android.

Thank you for your business and please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

The way that email is worded, combined with Alan not knowing about it, makes it seem like the drivethru staff themselves pushed an update for android compatibility and inadvertently broke stuff in the progress.

Curious.

I just got another update (with no listed changes) today.
From what I can tell at a glance, the points I listed (chapter headers having white bars, the bugged text instance and the lowered image quality) seem to have all been addressed.

I can confirm that the chapter headers having white vertical lines is still present on Adobe Acrobat Reader for Android, at a glance though they have seemingly fixed the strange text issue and the missing page issue.

In case anyone is wondering, page 46 has still not been fixed for Adobe Acrobat Reader for Android (still blank). It's a shame because otherwise the product is top notch with a great layout and a gorgeous art style that remains consistent throughout the PDF.

hi, I wanted to inform that in the profession section of my game there is no description or inventory for the character's that choose the profession of a scribe. I wanted to ask if that I correct and therefore part of the game or if it is a simple mistake?

I am also awaiting that information. For now, I give them the same items as the Cartographer, but instead of being able to read maps, they can read books and scrolls.

There is a B&W hardcover and full-color hardcover available through Lulu.com. IMO, the full-color book is really stunning and worth the $39 (B&W book is $29) https://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?contributorId=1387333

The interior is in color, with a gradient blue, beige and white tables, blue line art and red headers. And yes, it is not cheap on Lulu. Believe it or not it's only $3 above cost. Full color printing is quite the beast.

I would have liked to see a softcover option. This would knock the price down a bit. As it is, I opted for the B&W version; however it is missing the description of the items the Scribe starts with. I am wondering whether the B&W version did not get the same editing job as the color version.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
