Through
the process of building the White Box: Fantastic Medieval Adventures Game
character generators, the inspiration came to me to create my own iteration of
the Swords and Sorcery’s White Box game.
Like Mr. Charlie Mason, the creator White Box: Fantastic Medieval Adventures Game, I plan on making my version of the White Box rule set available as a free
pdf on Drive Thru RPG and the printed version sold at cost. The working title for my iteration is ‘White
Box: Eastern Adventures’ (the title may change), and the focus will be on
medieval Japanese fantasy. I am planning to do my own art work and have started
drawing illustrations for the book.
The
four character classes for the book are the bushi, the ninja, the sohei and the
shugenja; these classes parallels the fighter, thief, cleric and magic-user
classes in the White Box rule set.
Bushi
Ninja
Sohei
Shugenja
Instead
of having statistics for the various types of armour, I have organizations the
armour in 3 categories: light, medium and heavy.
Light Armour
Medium Armour
Heavy Armour
As with
the armour, the melee weapons are grouped in 3 categories: simple weapons,
martial weapons and large martial weapons.
The ryo, shu and mon coin system parallels the gold, silver and copper
coin system.
Here
are a couple of sketches of some of the monsters that will appear in the
Monster’s section of the book.
