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.

I wish the art and general look of the book will be somewhat consistent with the presentation of WotC books.

It won't - and can't - look like one of WotC's books. But it will look as good as one!

Pathfinder 2 is not 5E compatible.

Nobody said you couldn't jack the names/class titles/number of things from it for reflavor/fluff purposes.

This is exciting. I've been modding my games for a while now, and I think 5e needs an overhaul anyway. Looking forward to see how this pans out.

I just saw the description of product in the forum title. When you say stand-alone, that would mean that the whole thing would be based on the SRD and not require the PHB? T

If so, that is super exciting. Just hope the shipping cost to Canada wont be too horrible, because I'll be getting at least 5 of them to replace my group PHBs I bought them some years ago.

Yep.

Okay: I sadly missed the opportunity to get the leather bound combo of the Masterclass Codex and Mythological Figures and Malifcient Monsters during the kickstarter because of unforseen circumstances happening on my end, but I'm gonna do my DAMNDEST to make sure I don't miss out on the kickstarter for this!

I hope to get in early enough to get the edition bound in human flesh.

Awesome! Also, it's more than a year away, so no rush.

This will test a personal theory of mine that part of 5e's success (before streaming and the 'rona), is that people who wanted more "decision points" stuck to Pathfinder and thus absent at my table, thus they aren't around to bring down the vibe at the table by complaining about how 5e doesn't fit their expectations.

I'm sure I'll find a modular rule or three from this book, that I'll bring to the table, but I am also sure I'll have say many more firm "Nopes," at my table as a certain type of player comes back into the fold.
