D&D 5E (2014) The Wizard's Amulet returneth!

[Agamon]

Frog God Games made the first 3rd party d20 adventure, The Wizard's Amulet, back in 2000.

Now they recreated it for 5e for free: http://froggodgames.org/5th-edition

Interesting, as there's no OGL, but it just says 5th Edition on the site. Maybe it's for 5th Edition Tunnels and Trolls or Pendragon...

I won't pretend to have any idea how they're handling the licensing, but this is awesome.

Looks like they are using the old OGL.

Yeah if you can use the OGL to imitate oE, 1E, 2E, 3E and all sorts of non DnD games, why not 5E. I always thought the argument about the (possible) lack of 5E OGL was moot. Sure you can't put any official 'dungeons and dragons' stuff on your product but 5E compatible, GO FOR IT!

Not checked it for mechanical accuracy but I'll be running it this weekend for my boys with the basic PDF

What I find most interesting is the large number of pre-genned PCs in the back of the adventure. They include a bunch of stuff from the PHB, including races such as the Orc and Gnome, and classes like Sorcerer, Paladin, Ranger, War Cleric domain, etc. The Paladin's Detect Evil is gone (yay!), replaced by an ability to sense demons, devils, celestials, and desecrated/consecrated grounds. No more "Is this guy in the bar evil? How about that city guard? That shopkeeper?" Well worth the dl just for the preview of all that stuff!

 

[mach1.9pants]

Not quite. There is no reason to think FGG got a preview of the PHB. This is just their interpretation of those classes and races. The PHB will probably be totally different.

As I said in the other thread. I started one too as did another!

The OGL has been used to do 0E, 1E, 2E, 3E and non D&D games. FGG are just using the 3E OGL to do 5E.
