    Looking for D&D-like alternatives to D&D 5e

    Well, you go here and get the player's handbook: DriveThruRPG Then you go here and get the setting guide: DriveThruRPG Both are pay-what-you-want, since the art is all AI-generated but the text is 100% human-crafted (I used generated art to find the right 'feel' and spent a good amount of...

    B/X & 5E hybrid, built as an experiment

    Release Materia Mundi - a "lighter" D&D clone

    After lots of feedback and playtesting, I've finally decided to take what I have and publish it: DriveThruRPG So, what makes Materia Mundi different? Classes & Levels There are effectively 3 classes in Materia Mundi: Warrior, Expert, and Magic-User. Each class has three variants, which modify...

    D&D General Ready for playtest: a "5E-lite" retroclone

    Also, because I know some people have some strong feelings about this: The entire art for this project was generated in MidJourneys, prompted with my own sketchwork. (I'm an artist, just not a good artist; I wanted the book to evoke a certain 'style' that I'm not quite capable of managing at...

    D&D General Ready for playtest: a "5E-lite" retroclone

    Okay! I feel like this is actually a finished product now. Some highlights: Classes - There are only 3 character classes (Warrior, Expert, and Magic-User); each character class has three subclasses to choose from at level 1, so your total first-level options are: -- Warrior: Knight, Adept, or...

    D&D General Ready for playtest: a "5E-lite" retroclone

    So, I suppose I should try and "sell" my thing a little more? Here's some of what I think are the highlights: - a tighter coupling between "narrative" and "mechanics" than standard D&D, especially as regarding Vancian magic - i.e., deliberately giving the player a better handle on "okay, my...

    D&D General Ready for playtest: a "5E-lite" retroclone
