Blog (A5E) Introducing Dungeon Delver’s Guide!

Later this year we’re Kickstarting a new hardcover book: Dungeon Delver’s Guide. This sourcebook, which is compatible with both Fifth Edition and Level Up: Advanced Fifth Edition, is a comprehensive toolkit for running (and exploring!) dungeons and—for those who wish to venture even farther below—the vast subterranean world of Underland.

Read all about it on the official site via the link below! We'll also be talking about this book on Thursday on EN Publishing's monthly livestream! 8pm BST (3pm ET) on Twitch.

I'm looking forward to this. I'd really like to see some a5e adventures, and how they are different than o5e.....because right now, other than exploration (and now traps), I don't know what's different.

Well they're not that different -- this is still 5E, after all! Adventures are the things that would change least, as they are the apps which use the upgraded ruleset.

A few more than that. 7, I think, if I remember correctly. Plus cultures, backgrounds, archetypes/subclasses.

So excited about both these releases! Ratlings in particular I've actually gotten requests for.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I have a possible setting that is basically all dungeon, so this will really come in handy.

I'm very intrigued by the NODES system and the fractal description

Will a clean procedure encompassing time passing and actions taken while dungeon crawling be included? This is always what I find difficult to do.

Dungeon Journey Rules?

"Why Dungeons?"
I liked GURPS' explanation for this. Basically all confined, dangerous spaces you have to go in to retrieve something is a dungeon. Even if you are already in there and it is you that you need to retrieve right out of the place. Secret tech lab with guards and intrusion counter measures? Dungeon. Crime boss mansion? Dungeon. Mining ship with a hostile alien in it? Dungeon.

"We can do intrigue and dungeons without the exploration and we can do exploration and dungeons without the intrigue, , and we can do all three concurrent or consecutive, but we can't do intrigue and exploration without the dungeon. Dungeons are compulsory- they're all dungeon, you see."

A good riff on Tom Stoppard's Rozenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
