5 Level 5th Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This product combines Dungeons and Dragons with some of the concepts of the OSR movement.

It removes class and race in the way you may be familiar with it, and limits the maximum level you can achieve to five.

The goal is to increase the tension and stakes in your game while still being able to play in games of up to 10th level, while giving a broader array of character types to choose from.

What You Will Get

You will be able to make characters quickly with very different abilities.

You will get games that feel tense, because your players will feel threatened.

You will see players push into danger to achieve their goals.

You will have players make choices about living to fight another day.

You will get players pushing to set up situations of advantage rather than relying on their attributes.

You will see characters who more closely resemble fantasy heroes from novels or TV series, or at high levels, mythology.

Adventure Fantasy

One of the main concepts of 5th Level 5th Edition is that it is what I call Adventure Fantasy, which is different in nature to Power Fantasy.

In most cases D&D is power fantasy, like Diablo. You see the steady increase of power of your character, and you wield epic powers; eventually you become godlike.

This game is closer to something like Divinity: Original Sin 2. There are rules for power and progress, but the game is more about the cunning and well placed use of your abilities over sheer power.

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.
