POD Please? lol this phrase gets overused, but I really think it applys here.

This is one of the best options I have seen from White Box. I actually had the PDF printed from Staples into a small, spiral-bound zine. I only do this for the books I love as it costs about $30.

One of my groups runs DDX, but heavily modde from other games. This book is essential to my DDX, OSR homebrew. White Box is a great system. I have the original White Box the author put out a decade or so ago. Dark Dungeons X has that skill and feat system that feels a little like 3e. Which is why I went with that. I hear there is a kickstarter for a better quality White Box game. If you're reading this, you probably already missed that.

Damphir is my favorite class/race option. More monsters (Children of the Night) and spells (Sorcery most foul) also add more options and a nice flavor. I'm can't wait to look into some of the Ravenloft stuff from 3e to add to this!

Reanimated are great. A great expansion on the Frankenstine Monster tropes.

The curse modifier chart on p 23 is forever in my games!

5 stars! This module gets used at lots of games.

Excellent additions for Univeral and/or Hammer-style Gothic horror for S&W White Box / White Box Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game or other similiar OSR products. Like all White Box material, it's easily portable to other systems or hackable for your own ends. I'm looking forward to running a horror-themed White Box FMAG campaign with this as the primary supplement.

White Box Gothic by Barrel Rider Games is everything you need to bring Hammer Horror into your White Box game.

The book starts with an introduction to horror and then gives us several new classes.  These classes are:

Monster Hunter - Like Captain Kronos or Van Richten, these fighting men (and women) are trained to track down and destroy the creatures of the night. Each Monster Hunter picks a specialty. Metaphysician - This is a man of supernatural science. The learn forsaken lore, get some spells, and can turn undead. Spiritualists - These individuals have a connection to the dead. They can interact with the spectral and turn incorporeal undead. Wanderer - These nomadic folks are survivors that use luck, trinkets picked up, and eventually a bit of magic to stay alive. Dhampir - This class is for the children of vampires and mortals. Want to play Blade? Now you can. Reanimated - Ever wanted to play Frankenstein's Monster? If so, this racial class lets you do just that.

The second chapter is short, but to the point. It has rules common in horror games, mainly corruption, dread, and curses. The third chapter includes a small selection of spells. Some of these are perfect tools for those fighting against the darkness. Others make the servants of darkness even more powerful. There are also several new magic items suited for horror games. My favourite is bottled courage, which basically gets your drunk, but makes you immune to fear. Many of these items can be used by all classes, which makes them quite useful.

The final chapter includes 15 new monsters. Most of these are classic monsters and opponents, like cultists and werebats. We're also presented with the vampire lord and bride stats, for those of you that what Dracula. Another particularly nasty monster is the plaything, which is like Chucky from the Child's Play films.

Full of neat ideas, White Box Gothic is unfortunately let down by the lack of a good editor and, as a result, is full of typos. That said, these errors don't detract from the product's utility, just its aesthetic. I hope that the publisher gives the product a few good editing passes before releasing this as a POD title.
