So, White Box (fantastic medieval adventure game) is a cleaned up and streamlined version of Original D&D. You can get the pdf free, or printed book on amazon for $5. many people like it cause it plays very simply.

The 3 stats comment has more to do with adapting the sheets to something like bastards. or Cairn, other simple variations on adventure games!

Thank you for the kind words, and taking the time to check out this project. No need to spare money on this one :) Just enjoy it, and share it with friends that may need some gaming supplements! Good gaming to you

yo Jam, not sure how to contact you (no longer on IG?) reach out please, PR

Will happily add a printed version of this to my library!

I do not have a plain text version at this time.

Not super soon. Truth is, I prefer to develop the game into a 2nd edition, which will likely be this year, going to print late next year. So the bundled pdf currently, especially with the sale price, will be the best way to get the game for now.

For sure! Thank you so much for the support, I hope you enjoy it :)

you can send me email: perplexingruins@gmail.com

a very nice pencil! creates some great variety

This is super rad stuff! 

It's exciting! Hopefully it finds its way to more people

Hello! The discord is no longer active. As for community copies, I will no longer be issuing these. I have issued 230 community copies thus far for Fallen, and I rely on its sales for my income. PR

Yep! meant as a streamlined and simple supplement to assist in solo D&D.

thank you! Unfortunately, I'm done (for now) modifying this supplement. It has gone through several iterations, and I think settling on OD&D is about where I'm at with it.

Hello! Basically get yourself a free pdf copy of White Box , fantastic medieval adventure game. Read it. It's pretty much Original D&D with streamlined and cleaned up presentation. Very simple. Use that game and these sheets to play a solo RPG!

Hello, so sorry for the delayed response....missed your comment. So, choose the likelihood to your question, and roll 2d6 & d8. First, just compare the d6s to the Target Yes number, 6, 8, 10 (depending on the likelihood you chose) - Then compare those d6s to the d8, and follow the instructions. if both d6s are less than the d8 = but, and vice versa for over the d8. If the d6s split the d8 (meaning one is over and the other is under, it's a straight Yes)

Hope this helps, and again my apologies for the delay

thank you for the note! Appreciate that

The Campaign Book is built around the d8, whereas Solo Sheets are all d6. The Campaign book is more expansive, with more space to add in your own GM bits. CNB has more encounters. It also has more pages for several different games, whereas the Sheets are more for a single campaign. I think of the CNB as more GM friendly tool, for prepping, alongside solo play.

Thank you so much for your question! Glad you're enjoying the book. So, when I clean up the game, I hope to address and streamline both of these aspects of the game. However, for the time being:

1) Yes, some confusion. Sorry. Simplify it thus: Items are non-combative. Oil, Picks, Light, ammo, etc. This of weapons and armor as Gear. Firing pistol or using blade, etc.

2) When using a specific Skill, roll 2d6 + the Skills Level. So if you have Healing at 2, roll 2d6 + 2. If you roll a Success, then heal 1 + 2 = 3 Health. In this same example, if you roll Complication, only heal the base 1 Health (excluding Skill Level) , then roll Ud, to test if you've lost materials (herbs, bandages, etc)

I hope this has helped. But if not, please don't hesitate to comment again! This first edition has a few things I need to address when I update the game in the future :)

So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. Hope the crawl goes just as smoothly for you. You can pick up a printed White Box for about $5 too, if you find it a good game for you. I just love how simple it is....you could even go down to 3 stats for it! Good gaming to you :)

i thought i saw you had a printing question, but not seeing it now? assuming you figured it out?

Thank you for the comment! Very glad to hear you had some fun with them. The screens can be quite a challenge to pull away from. Having something pretty simple to pull out as an alternative is pretty crucial (in my own case!) good gaming to you

noted!

I will see what I can do to be swift about it ;) I very much agree with you, and these sheets were generated very much out of a personal gaming need. I think sci fi ones would be really fun to make too! Actually been looking at White Star (basically White Box Sci Fi), so it's likely to happen.

Thank you! Really appreciate that. I'm glad you agree, that they are cleaner now, and visually, just simpler to navigate.

Thank you! You're own work and tutorials are a constant inspiration and education to me.

You're very welcome! Thank you for having a look at them, and I hope they bring your some good gaming!

That's awesome to hear! thank you for the comment. I think Knave should work plenty well, being a 6 stat system, easily converted to old school, AND of course its own numerous tables! good gaming to you, and yes, would love to hear how it goes.

Oh wow! thank you for the comment. That's exactly the motivation I had behind them. Wishing I'd had "them" on a trip I had taken. Yea, I find White Box is just a nice simple and easy to port (d6s, 1 small book) system. You can purchase the physical book on amazon for like $5 too! and with this system, all those original D&D adventures can be easily ported into your game! cheers and good gaming to you

That's a great question. to tell the truth, I have ambitions to do the same as this, but for sci fi! Suppose I didn't think many folks would want a totally blank sheet. Will ponder this! thanks for asking

Huzzah! I love Monolith 1e, have the printed book edition! But excited to see this, and will be happily following its progress.  As a solo only player, I don't tend to run pre-written adventures, so would love to see just good amounts of GM tables, guides, oracles, world-building, etc. Procedures that are solo friendly. Oohhh, perhaps a simplified ItO skirmish rule, to play out firefights with some tactical!

this is amazing! not just tables, but lots of procedures too. well layed out, cool art choices, really nicely done! glad to have purchased and will be printing home booklet soon

Keen to see a 2nd installment, with hexes and such!!

followed!

Hello Gustavo! I want to print out the booklets, but before investing in that, just want to confirm all the updates are complete? thanks!

Awesome! thank you for the support - hope you enjoy the game! great gaming to you :)

Hello!

At this point, this is the only available print copy: it does include both books, three card decks and a separate campaign notebook!

This is a Usage Die chain, for tracking supplies. It's a pretty common mechanic for things like torches, rations, etc. When you deem appropriate, usually after use, or every few rooms, etc. Roll the current die. On a 1 or 2, it is reduced. When the d4 is rolled, and on 1 or 2, you are out of that supply

Hello! So sorry I missed this comment....thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it :) Rad gaming to you!

this looks sharp already! excited to see what more comes to it. looking like a home printout on the soon horizon
