Wight-Box: Rules for Fantastic Medieval Adventure Wargames

THIS IS TO ORDER A BOXED SET TO BE DELIVERED AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE BACKERS RECEIVE THEIRS IN APRIL OR MAY, THOUGH, AT A HIGHER PRICE THAN BACKERS PAID DURING THE KICKSTARTER.

Wight-Box is a 0e clone that bridges the gap between the legendary 1974 "Little Brown Books" (3LBBS) and the mass combat rules of Chainmail.

Original 1974 play is often called "incomplete" or "full of holes," but the truth is that the answers were always there in the Chainmail rules. While this isn’t a 100% reconstruction of how Gary and Dave played in '73, it is a faithful, streamlined adaptation that brings the 3LBBs and Chainmail together into one cohesive, playable d20 system. It captures the true spirit of mid-70s gaming without the headache of cross-referencing three different manuals. The premium boxed set version of Wight-Box raised over $55k!

The Boxed Set

This is a premium boxed set edition of Wight-Box from the Kickstarter. Only 100 copies are currently available after the Kickstarter. This set comes with:

• Three booklets of Heroes, Monsters & Loot, and Adventure. It's all the rules you need to run the game.

• 20 character sheets.

• A set of polyhedral dice.

• A referee screen.

• A wilderness hex game board.

• All of this in a premium box!

• The Digital Toolkit: Includes PDFs of all three volumes, a digital wilderness adventure hex map, a digital Referee Screen, and a printable PDF character sheet.

Volume 1: Heroes

Everything you need to step into the Wightlands. This volume covers character creation for the core classes: Fighting-Man, Magic-User, and Cleric. (The Thief is also included in an appendix for those who prefer them). You’ll also find full gear lists, hireling rules, and complete spell lists for both Magic-Users and Clerics.

Volume 2: Monsters & Loot

The Referee's best friend. This volume is packed with stats and abilities for foes both mundane and magical. It also contains the tables for treasure and magic items, including the legendary sentient swords, potions, and scrolls.

Volume 3: Adventuring

This volume covers the "how-to" of play: combat mechanics, wilderness exploration, dungeon crawling, and large-scale battles. I’ve also included dungeon generation tools and zero-prep oracles for solo play or for generating content on the fly at your table.

Wight-Box is everything you need to run games in the spirit of the 1970s, hand-bound, hand-trimmed, and ready for your table.
