Wight-Box is a clone, but a clone that is different from many that have come before. The premise of Wight-Box is to pretend it is 1974, and all we have is CHAINMAIL and the 3LBBs. How would we play this game? Wight-Box attempts to look at these rulesets, combing through them, and compiling them in what is hopefully a true and authentic way to 0e that is easy to understand.

Dungeons are deadly, dangerous places. Monsters lurk in the chambers and passages. Traps may be unwittingly triggered. Natural hazards add to the challenge of successfully navigating a dungeon.
On top of those dangers, there are sometimes strange and unexpected threats hidden in the countless dungeons that exist across campaigns on a near-infinite number of game worlds.

Without a doubt, skeletons are one of my favorite types of monsters in any fantasy RPG. These animated dead are a wonderful foe for the heroes since they can wait around for decades (sometimes centuries) without any need to eat, drink, sleep, or the other requirements that living creatures possess. After all, no one need question how the skeletons were surviving in the dungeon all these years without... [click here for more] |
