The Complete B/X Adventurer

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Complete B/X Adventurer is a gaming supplement for use with the B/X fantasy adventure game (and compatible retro-clones). It contains new material designed to inspire and add to your existing fantasy campaign, almost all of it for the player character...though there is plenty of fodder for GMs as well.

The book has 62 pages, most of which is content: new classes, new spells, new character options, and rules for fleshing out beginning characters. It is illustrated, though the PDF does not have the color cover of the print version.

The bulk of the book is new B/X classes, including five new spell-casting classes. Nearly half of the book is devoted to spell lists and there are more than 110 new spells (not counting reverse spells). To put that in perspective, the original B/X books contained only 106 spells...and each of the new spell-casting classes has a unique method of using magic, not simply being limited to "divine" or "arcane" spell-casting types.

Other than the spell-casters, there are a dozen other classes for a total of 17. Most of these are human adventurer-types; three are demi-humans. They represent adventuring archetypes found in fantasy fiction that are not already represented in B/X (nor are they found in the Advanced Edition Companion™ for Labyrinth Lord™). All have information for including them at Basic, Expert, or even Companion level adventurers, so you can use them "right out of the box."

Yep. Should be. It’s written to be compatible with B/X and OSE is about the most faithful clone of B/X available.

I have a request. Is it possible to get each character class as a single page (front/back if needed) so I can have a handout for new players and at conventions.

@ Rachael:

Hmm...that's tough. With or without the accompanying artwork?

Whichever is easiest. The idea is one class per page for convention use. B&W if any art line art something easy to print as needed...

Why isn't the color cover shown part of the PDF?

@ Kerry H:

The color cover is from the print version of the book. The PDF does not include the cover; rather, it begins with the B&W cover lead (the illustration is the same as the one on the cover of the print version).

At this time, the print version of the book is only available through my blog:

what is the difference between this book and the Companion book? And why no print option?

@ Brian S:

The B/X Companion is a book of challenges and options for "high level," B/X play. It details progression through level 36, provides additional spells, monsters, and magic items geared to these levels, plus additional rules for things like domain play, mass land combat, and astral travel.

The Complete B/X Adventurer provides additional information and options for B/X Campaigns at ANY level of play, including new classes, new spell lists, firearms, optional "traits" for basic classes, and some fun random tables for filling out one's character.

At this time, the print copy is available exclusively through my blog:
http://bxblackrazor.blogspot.com

When I write a new book I do a print run so that I have copies to distribute and sell local locally as well as via mail. At this time, I only sell PDFs on DriveThruRPG.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
