D&D 5E List the Third-Party 5th Edition Campaign Settings

[ParanoydStyle]

This thread is super useful and interesting. Makes me sad that Goodman Games' Aereth isn't on there, though. It's definitely one of my favorite D&D settings...but I have less than no interest in DCC as a game system. Anyway in addition to being useful and interesting this list is intimidating! If you want to develop a 3PP setting for 5E, you've certainly got plenty of competition.

Has anyone (obviously non-commercially, so it wouldn't be on the list) converted Golarion to 5E? That's another D&D Pathfinder D&D setting I found that I really like.

Here is setting for both D&D 5e & Pathfinder 1e, from Richard Knaak: Rex Draconis.

It seems to be going for a Dragonlance theme, for those who want something like Dragonlance but in modern editions.

Even features what're essentially porcupine kender called "kwillum":

The Kwillum

Small and quick, kwillum are often mistaken for small human children with wild and thick hair. It is only when examined more closely that the differences become apparent.

Growing to barely four-foot tall at maturity, these nomads of Tiberos have a long mane of ‘hair’, which grows from their head, down past their shoulder blades and ends on their lower backs. As a defensive mechanism, kwilum can induce this mane to stiffen into damaging needles, much like a porcupine. Fights with kwillum often end with the kwillum hunched over, needles erect, and an unsuspecting combatant holding his hand in agony.

They have a racially-inherited obsession with searching for ‘what they are looking for’ that often leads them, innocently or not, onto the wrong side of the law. They claim that their hands seem to act on their own accord, picking pockets, lifting random objects from market stalls, and playing with expensive items, all without the kwillum’s knowledge. Seen widely as nuisances, thieves and disruptors, kwillum are often escorted out of any town they can be found in, if they can be caught.

And an early adventure has you even get framed at one point thanks to a kwillum dropping some loot at your feet in the starting adventure, because "it's not what I'm looking for.":

The Avondale Market is lively today, as nationalities of all sorts banter, bicker and barter. You see great arrays of colors splashed across the crowd from their many exotic garments. Cheers and jeers of gambling games rise up from somewhere to your left. A large Minotaur pushes past you, then disappears into the crowd. The day is warm for this time of year, and aromas of freshly baked breads and pastries fill your nostrils. As you take it all in you suddenly hear a shout from ahead, “Thief! Thief! Pickpocket! That way! Guards, guards!”

The crowd ahead splits suddenly as a small figure, about the size of a ten year old human girl, swiftly darts in your direction. Her red, glistening mane of razor sharp hair alerts you that she’s not a child, but instead a kwilum! She stops right in front of you and looks into the pouch.

Disappointedly, she says, “Eh, it’s not what I’m looking for” and drops the pouch at your feet, before deftly disappearing into the crowd.

and you have to confront guards thanks to it:

Many city guards appear from the market’s rabble. They hold spears, shields and wear plate armor. One of them steps forward; a red cape adorning one shoulder. He is obviously the guard sergeant of this district. He eyes you, up and down, and then his eyes catch sight of the pouch. The sergeant grins and commands his men, “Arrest these felons, on charge of theft!”

Spotted this one on DM's Guild recently:

City of Auriga from Timothy Cuddles and Malady Whitecrow. A steam punky 5e setting. PWYW and pretty darn professional looking.
