The Fourth Edition of the Whitehack Roleplaying Game is Available

Apr 13, 2023

A new edition of the old school flavored Whitehack roleplaying game has arrived from author Christian Mehrstam. The RPG is a mix of old and new mechanics with a focus on ongoing player fantasy campaigns. The 170 page digest is available through LuLu for $19.99 or grab the PDF at DriveThruRPG for $14.99.

About the game:

Whitehack is a complete fantasy role-playing game in the original tradition. In addition to custom settings and adventures, it can run just about any material from 1974 onwards with great ease and little or no conversion. This works by picking a very limited set of pieces from a traditional, modern or “foreign” stat block and then triangulating them to pin-point how a monster, spell or ability works.

Whitehack’s rules are built to meet the demands of long campaigns. It mixes old and new school mechanics to create an emergent game which helps you take your first steps and then keeps challenging you as you become a more experienced player.

The single book of rules is brief, concentrated and comes in a small format with a traditional layout, completely sans art. The digital version that comes with two hyperlinked, fully bookmarked and optimized PDFs: one for the tablet or computer, and one for the phone.
