@@AdventuresWithDice We're playing it together like a hexcrawl random generator thing. The reason why was so that even Dad could play as well. We use all the jigsaw-style tiles from Wrath of Ashardalon and Temple of Elemental Evil boxed set board games, Table Fables, Random Tables 1-4 by Matt Davids, and all the dice plus even some DCC weird dice. It's been a fun table thing and kinda a cool and sneaky way to get them interested. 🤓
@@AdventuresWithDice Might have to do that after I finish covering Chris' book in another few episodes. I'd also have figure out a cheap setup to shoot down onto the table too. I do not have a Webcam or anything to do that with. I'll have to do some thinking on how that might work, but sounds 😎
@@AdventuresWithDice I actually started COC with the D20 version, so I'm hoping Eldritch Tales may help me get my group interested in that style of game again. They didn't like traditional d100 COC as much as I did.
I love the CoC d100 system. I also have at least 1 player that hates rolling d%. So I'm planning the same thing. All my players seem to like the WB system...so we'll see.
Are you running a specific module or creating your own Ravenloft campaign? How do you adjust the monsters stats and characteristics to the White Box system? I always like to know how other DMs do it. Great video!
Love the content. In addition to the new classes and subclasses and items, are there any adventures that are printed as well? Just found this rpg and my group loves it after one session but am needing more adventures. 😅
Its the POD version. Its not bad for what it is to be honest. I would rather had the box set but... They ain't cheap. I think I only paid $12 or $15 for this one.
@@AdventuresWithDice I advocate a special Halloween themed video where you show off your Ravenloft stuff and discuss why you like the setting and go into some detail about your white box Ravenloft game.
The two games are nearly the same. It is hard to say one is better. BF has 4 races and 4 classes with the elf able to be a half and half fighter/wizard or thief/wizard. Attribute bonus will go to a +/-3, with modern ascending armor class (so no THAC0 or chart stuff). There are separate saving throws for different situations, with different ratios per class. Annoyingly the save throw chart is located in a different chapter than character creation. Level cap is 20. White Box is attributes that only go to a +/-2 bonus, also has 4 races and 4 classes, with elf able to be a special class of half fighter and half wizard. It uses Descending armor class by default, but also have ascending armor class numbers if you prefer. There is only one savings throw number for everything, found right on character creation level up table. Level cap is between 8 to 12 based on which class you are, but level up bonuses are larger, resulting in a character that might be stronger than a BF equivalent level. Interestingly the weapon damages are barely different from each other, and there is only 3 levels of armor (light leather, medium chainmail, and heavy plate). The game in general only uses D20 for combat attacks, and D6's for most everything else. So, yeah. Not much different. Get one. Get the other. They're both so similar that I don't see one that is clearly better. I like Basic Fantasy, only because I found it first and it has a lot of supplement material.

I believe Sidhe is pronounced "she" but I cannot remember where I read that. Edit: Could have been in an old Changeling: The Dreaming book.
Possibly. You may be right. Thanks!
It is. The old celtic languages are never pronounced like they are spelled.

White Box is really doggone cool! Thnx, Bro! Nice vid again. 👌 👊

Bro, that T-shirt and coffee mug sounds AWESOME! I'll take mine with a little Bible under one arm and the 1st ed DMG or BFRPG under the other. Lol
You should do a video on that! I'd love to see your process!

How about the omnibus?
Thanks Rob for this review. Going back over my many OSR options for a weeklong beach game I’m running in August.
Are there any mudblood classes? Half-orc (my favorite)?
Not in the stuff that I have but I know there are optional books on races out there. So... maybe
Sorry I'm not more help
@@AdventuresWithDice I think I found something, details soon.
Looks groovy, groovy. I'm gonna check that out.
I have Eldritch Tales and had to get my copy replaced because it was part of a bad batch. It looks like a fun version of Cthulhu.
It does. I have really been digging the PDF!

Creating my own. The answers should be covered in my video Wednesday.
I'll go over it all.

There are some pretty good adventures in here.
@@AdventuresWithDice thanks much
Hey Rob is that Ravenloft black cover in the background the print on demand book or is that the actual box set?
Its the POD version. Its not bad for what it is to be honest. I would rather had the box set but... They ain't cheap. I think I only paid $12 or $15 for this one.
@@AdventuresWithDice Definitely not cheap at all! I would rather have the box sets my self. Have you done a review of the print on demand Ravenloft?
I don't think so... I make a lot of videos...lol I'll have to check. If not I should.

Would this stuff work okay with the White Box game by Seattle Hill?
Yes
How is White Box better than Basic Fantasy?
I'm actually addressing this in a upcoming video.
The two games are nearly the same. It is hard to say one is better. BF has 4 races and 4 classes with the elf able to be a half and half fighter/wizard or thief/wizard. Attribute bonus will go to a +/-3, with modern ascending armor class (so no THAC0 or chart stuff). There are separate saving throws for different situations, with different ratios per class. Annoyingly the save throw chart is located in a different chapter than character creation. Level cap is 20.

Isn‘t it just that Basic Fantasy is based on B/X and White Box is based on OD&D.
