Welcome to the East Mark, young adventurer. I know it was not easy to get here but just consider the rewards: the wondrous treasures, the power and the glory that await you.

It will not be easy to achieve all of this; indeed nothing is easy in the East Mark. You will have to work your way with your sword and your cunning.

Ha! I knew you would like that. Here, take this map and the instructions so you can survive a world full of adventures.

Be prepared to meet legendary characters and battle horrible monsters in dark dungeons or impregnable fortresses. I hope you have what's need to survive. And no, I am not referring to your weapons or your faithful companions, although they will certainly be necessary. I was referring to something more important, something essential: your imagination!

Adventures in the East Mark Basic Rule Set (aka the Red Box) is a gloriously illustrated retro fantasy roleplaying game. It is the ultimate expression of the OSR movement that’s inspired by early roleplaying games. This is an English translation of a popular Spanish game designed by Pedro Gil and his own gaming group. All of the original Spanish artist works are included, presented for the first time in full color.

These Quick Start Rules give you what you need to get a taste of what the East Mark offers.
