Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition

Level up your 5E game! The standalone advanced 5E tabletop RPG which adds depth and diversity to the game you love! #levelup5e

www.kickstarter.com

Welcome to Level Up, a standalone game which enhances the 5E ruleset which you know and love. If you love 5E but would like a little more depth to the rules, Level Up is the new game for you!

After two years of extensive public playtests and surveys involving thousands of players, and input from our active community, we have completely overhauled the 5E game system. From redesigned classes to a full exploration pillar, we've revisited every aspect of the game to present this new standalone iteration of the 5th Edition core rules.

• Core set. The core set consists of three books -- the Adventurer's Guide (characters, and the core rules), Trials & Treasure (magic items, exploration and journeys, and gamemastery), and the Monstrous Menagerie (monsters!)
• A little more. For those who want more, there are two more books -- Adventures in ZEITGEIST (a world/setting book) and Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters (a book of legendary heroes and villains from our own world's myths and cultures).
• These are modular enough so that if you just want the monsters, or our new class overhauls, or our exploration rules, you can buy a single book. It's all compatible with 5E and will work with your other 5E books!

hehe may not matter too much considering how funded it already is....but beyond finding the link here just doing a search for it on kickstarter turned up nothing.

I tried searching for level up....nada
Tried searching the games area.....nada

Tried levelup, level up, and level-up....nada

So unless someone handed me the link (like you did here) and I was just told about this thing and I wanted to go find it....I wouldn't have found it.

That's weird. I just searched for it by name and it came up.

That said, you'd had the link for nearly a year!

Of course, it was more just testing the name recognition waters of the site. I wanted to ensure the product has good visibility outside of enworld.

Backed for the core book hardback set. Congrats to the team!
Also just noticed that it ends on November 5th, so I get the PDFs right before my birthday!

Wan't to have a fun time? Check the shipping fees from anywhere to Brazil...

It's because shippers have found that unless they ship first class (or equivalent thereof), the mail seems to disappear in Brazil, and sending out replacement books for lost copies is cost prohibitive. At least that's the feedback I've seen from several companies.

 

[Morrus]

They're apparently a promotion company you have tied to the kickstarter, 'cause this is at the bottom of the "Story" section of the Kickstarter page.

No, I know who they are. They're running our Facebook ads and pledge manager. I didn't know they sent out surveys though.

That seems plausible.

Yeah, we don't ship to some countries where the shipping costs are incredibly high, and we end up having to replace the shipment more often than we'd like (which involves paying that incredibly high shipping cost again). It sucks, but it's not in our control. especially when we have friends in these places who are missing out.

I have received similar surveys in some of the campaigns I backed at print levels - I always assumed they were sent by the creators themselves to get a first idea on the expected shipping costs (even if they are charged only afterwards), but maybe it was also Backerkit there. If I remember correctly, the surveys mostly asked for your location and backer level.

Honestly, I'm used to it by now. Most kickstarters I back, I only back for the PDF's, because 1- our currency is really low right now (1 dolar is about 5,50 reais) 2- shipping costs are incredibly expensive.
