White Box Eastern Adventures: Second Printing

In November of 2018, I took up the hobby of pencil and paper sketching, which led to the creation of White Box: Eastern Adventures; my first published piece on DriveThruRPG.  ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ was first published in March 2019, and featured a scanned pencil and paper illustration I created for the cover art.  Recently, I made the transition from traditional pencil and paper sketching to digital sketching (using a digital tablet and pen).  One of my goals with digital sketching was to create a new digital illustration for the cover of ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’.  Thus, the second printing of ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ came into existence.

The new cover for ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ features two adventurers battling an oni in a dungeon.

A koropokuru bushi; koropokuru are an Eastern race of dwarves. The bushi is one of the four character classes in ‘Eastern Adventures’ and is akin to the fighter class from the ‘World Most Famous RPG’.

A sohei adventurer; sohei are the ‘Eastern Adventures’ equivalent of clerics.  Representing diversity and inclusion are important in my art; thus, I used a darker skin tone for this illustration, which represents a person from a Middle Eastern or African heritage.

While the cover of ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ changed, most of the interior content remained the same.  The exceptions to this are pages 1 and 123.  In the first printing, page 123 showed a poster for ‘The Keep on the Savage Frontier’.  This poster has been replaced with the above poster for ‘Red Box: Eastern Adventures’.

 

With the launch of the second printing of ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’, a new background image has been added to the companion website.  The background image features the illustrations from the cover, plus some illustrations from the Red Box: Eastern Adventures companion website.

‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ is available as a Free PDF on DriveThruRPG.  There is a print-on-demand softcover version available for $5 USD, for those wanting a physical copy of the book.
