D&D 5E (2014) Primeval Thule for D&D 5e is out in PDF!

Interesting. I did not know about this in time to get in on the Kickstarter. Anyone know when it will be made available to the rest of us?

They have a "slacker backer" option that's still available for a day or two.

Excellent. Done. Thanks!

The 5e version actually has quite a bit that isn't in the Pathfinder/13th Age version of the book. Stats for khopeshes, mace- axes, warspears, and chakrams, an extra Gret Old One, and more. I guess that when they rorganized the material in the book (since this version is for a single system, they didn't have to push all game rule information to he appendix), it freed up a lot of space for them to fill. We re also going to get a Players Companion and a GM Companion and a couple extra adventures on top of the conversions for the adventures included in the Pathfinder/13th Age round. The meat and potatoes of the setting are exactly the same, though, and there are a few editing errors - a typo or two, and extra period after a sentence, inconsistent use of terminology, using the term "subtype," which doesn't exist in 5e, etc. But overall I'm thrilled with the book and I adore the setting.

Just bought the Digital Thule version, anyone know how long until I receive a key to download?

I bought a Digital Thule as well this morning. I got it a few hours later. You may already have it, but if you don't I wouldn't panic. My assumption is that since it's PayPal that the process isn't automated. They'll get an email about your payment and have to arrange things on your end to send you the download link for DTRPG. I'm downloading my copy at the moment.

*edit* I just checked the timestamp. I got the email with the download link about an hour and ten minutes after I sent payment and just a few minutes before you posted. They seemed to turn it around quick for me. My bet is you already have it and are reading it now. Anyone who is on the fence, $25 is a pretty good deal for a lot of pdfs. Get it before it's gone.

Love it. Already got wheels turning in my head as to how and when to start using it.

Can't wait for the rest of the download material to roll in. New campaign here we come!

I love the description in the Thulean Dwarf section about them branding people who buy their wares, and how they retrieve them when the owner dies or misuses it. My friend wants to play a dwarf that goes out and retrieves items for a smith, so I created a homebrew narrative called "Dwarven Collector" for him to play.

This has already become one of my fave all-time D&D settings, being the huge Robert E. Howard fan that I am. I wish I could find a DM willing to run an online game (not pbp) over Roll20 or even better, Fantasy Grounds.

Jumped on the "Slacker Backer" option myself this morning. Just waiting for my code to arrive.

I backed the hard copy book version....but a friend of mine got his pdf and he absolutely loves it
