D&D 5E The Bible Is A New 5E Setting

The Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible is a 5E setting and adventure set in the first century AD.

The 350-page book, created by Bible enthusiasts, included four new lineages, a range of subclasses, and an adventure for character levels 1-10, along with a full first-century AD setting with locations like the Library of Alexandria and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, NPCs, and monsters such as giants, seraph serpents, angels, and demons. The adventure itself involves a search for three missing Magi.

It's $25 for a PDF, or $39 for a hardcover.

Cleopatra is dead. Rome and Parthia struggle for control of the Fertile Crescent in a bid for world domination, while local politics in the Middle Kingdoms become increasingly divisive. The prophecies of the so-called “Messiah” have long been forgotten, and an ancient Evil lurks in the shadows, corrupting the hearts of humankind. Three of the wisest mystics known as the “Magi” travelled to Bethlehem following a star they believed to be a sign. They never returned. Hope grows dim as the world descends into darkness. What we need are answers... and those brave enough to seek them.

This isn’t the first biblical era setting for D&D, although it might be for 5E. Green Ronin released Testament: Roleplaying in the Biblical Era for 3E over a decade ago.

And then the other half of the coin to go along with it:

That's quite a sword there the central dark knight is carrying.

Jeez, I was doing a lets-read of this thing, wasn't I? Got sidelined by an unpleasant bout with a non-covid virus, I'll try to get back to it over the next few days.

I look forward to that; the tome is well outside my price range, but I am interested in its contents.

Flag me or report me for discussing religion

Mod Note:
And, someone did.

If you know that it is going to be a problem, but proceed anyway with an announcement of the fact, that demonstrates an astounding lack of respect for the people and place you are speaking.

Furthermore, the designers are mealy-mouthed about even their Faith.

And, then you get into insulting people.

So, yeah, you're done in this discussion.

I'd say they did... after the fall of the Western half of the Empire Greek became the official language of the Roman Empire - replacing Latin. So yeah, Greek was the lingua franca of the (later) Roman world.

Just a note that Greek was always the Lingua Franca of the east, even in the early empire. Latin never took off much in those areas even after centuries of Rome. There’s a reason there’s no Romance language east of Romania.

I'm currently writing a review of this book over on some other websites.

While I've considered posting it up on EN World, I don't know if it would dip too much into the religion/politics aspects of the site, so I figure that a link may be safer and it talks about the subject of this article.

I'm not gonna lie: the Ward of the Raven feat has no right being as awesome as it is flavor wise and the distraction feature.

Very good and interesting write up. I've read all your posts so far. Will you post back here, when your next post is made?

I'll do you one better and post it on EN World as its own thread. I asked one of the moderators if they'd be cool with this, and got permission.

Note: I don't have a religious background and am reviewing the product on its merit as a gaming supplement. The relative truth/falsity of the Abrahamic and other faiths covered isn't an intended subject or conversation point I'm interested in delving into for this work. Nobody can overstate the...
