Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E)

The standalone 'advanced 5E' backwards compatible tabletop RPG!

www.levelup5e.com

This is an ‘advanced’ version of the 5E ruleset, presented as a hardcover standalone game. It adds more customization and depth to the game. Basically, it’s a ‘crunchier’ version of 5th Edition. It's still the game you know and love. We love it too! All your 5E books will be compatible with this new game.

We already have a list of what we want to include in Level Up, although this list is not yet final We’ll be using surveys to adjust that list. We hope to include a fully developed exploration pillar, flexible character choices at each level, a new approach to heritage, martial maneuvers, a ‘cinematic/gritty’ toggle, spell-less ranger and warlord, and followers and strongholds, and more. Keep an eye out for the surveys!

We are also recruiting a diverse team of expert 5th Edition writers. We’ll have more news on that soon.

So you know Pathfinder already exists, right?

I certainly know snark exists.

You know 5e and PF have distinct differences not just in character building, but also action economy and magic system, which makes them different play experiences, right?

Maybe there can be a snark-less discussion group for those of us who plan to back the Kickstarter (or who are at least earnest in helping this be the best product we can)? Maybe a Discord Channel or something down the road? IDK, but I really want to see this be a big success.

I think something like this would play well at my table. Some of my players don't have any interest in learning a new system. I still have to hold their hands sometimes and we've been playing 5e since it came out. Something that is compatible with 5e while adding new features will appease them while giving the others (and myself) new things to play with.

I'm going to set up a forum. A Discord channel is a bit too fast for this sort of thing; we'd lose stuff quick. This is one situation where a forum is perfect.

Count me in. I'll be backing this for sure.

Good lord, Morrus, you already had me at “crunchier 5e,” but flexible character options at each level? Gritty/cinematic toggle? Spell-less Ranger and Warlord? The wait for this is gonna kill me.

Bear in mind that's just a current wishlist. We'll be doing surveys to finalize that list!

Is it just the mechanical aspects of 5e that are going to be "crunchier", or other aspects as well?

We have a forum!
