White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game (B&W)

I could not go back and edit my earlier evaluation. I don't know if this is by design, but when I opened the book to skim through page by page, the first page, with its table of contents, pulled right out of the book. I hadn't tried to "break in" the book, as some will. I just opened to the first page. And out it came. It did not rip out. There is no glue residue, so perhaps it was never glued in place. All other pages are glued tight. Something to keep in mind, should you be inclined to purchase this hardcover.

What you are getting: This hardcover is an improvement over others I've picked up from DriveThruRPG. These are not Smyth sewn and cloth reinforced! Print-on-demand publishers simply glue a softcover book inside hard covers. If you are lucky, the size of the hardcover matches the book block. In this case, the cover material is thicker or sturdier than most. The paper is satin and of much higher quality than that of the soft covers. There is minimal use of color, either red headings or dusty violet dividing up tables. The text and art is black, rather than the dark gray of typical DriveThruRPG printings. This looks much nicer than the soft covers, however . . . . It's not Smyth sewn. It will not lay flat. I don't know how well it will hold up over time. But it looks very nice. It feels nice in the hand. Get it if you love the game. If buying the core rules for the first time, get the soft cover, which is available in print from three different sources, all of which are print-on-demand. The only difference will be...See more the cover art and perhaps a half inch (12.5 mm) size difference in height and width.

Is this B/X or BECMI ?

Hello,
Is this the last update of the game, the verion 2.1 from april 2020 ?
Thanks

Item arrived today

Ok, I was lucky, 6 bucks on Amazon, no problem there.
Hardcover at 25 bucks though, certainly not.
It is 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. Not quite 1/2 thick in softcover, likely half inch in hardcover.

It's a compact, well done product. Almost no margin at the top, little at the spine, a little at the bottom. Maybe that's the printer. Essentially speaking, no wasted page.
This is perhaps the best effort so far, at making a complete OSE OSR BECMI wannabe item yet if you want it taking as little of your table as possible.
Very readable, well organized what you expect from a publisher that is making a reiteration of a 50 year old game.

hmm, do I need it? Not really.
Is it worth it? 25 bucks, unlikely.
Amazon just sold it to me a softcover for 6 bucks.

Where it sits on the timeline as measured against the other listing here at Drivthru is unknown to me. It might be an earlier printing.
Does that matter? Probably not. They are after all, BECMI type offerings.

There appears to me a lot of Whitebox titles listed, and I have no idea where they fit into the scheme of things.

This is an outstanding product. The system, the layout everything is so easy to find and use. I have bought this system for several friends and everyone who tries it loves it after spending time with it. Well done everyone involved

Is this the most "up to date" version?

Hi. I would like to know the possibility of publishing in portuguese (Brazil) and in physical format your RPG White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game.

I will wait for your return. Thank you.

Is this updated 2.1 version of the rules announced on your Seattle Hills Games blog on April 22, 2020? While I understand it only corrects about 4 minuscule errata, I'd prefer the latest version of this great game. Thanks!

Book is great stuff and bound tightly. I highly recommend this version if the red dragon cover isn't to your taste.

HI Charlie,

Does the hardcover version here have the dust jacket as well. All the ones I got from Lulu have dust jackets and I am not a fan of dustjackets?

Thanks

Is this art available for download an alt cover to the PDF?

I have the original red dragon cover with black and white interior. Is this really a full color version of the book now?
