Level Up (A5E) What would you *call* an Advanced 5E?

[vincegetorix]

Maybe something like:

Masters and Immortal Companions: Advanced 5th Edition

or

Immortal Companions: 5th Edition Master Set

 

[Fenris-77]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh it would make no sense to people that haven't been into RPGs forever but Basic Advanced Fifth Edition has the best acronym

All your BAFE are belong to us.

 

[Worrgrendel]

5EDEX?

Haven't even made the book yet and already DEX is the God Stat again!

 

[Worrgrendel]

Revised and Expanded Fifth Edition is....RE5E which is...not so bad? A wee bit punny? (RE: 5E amirite)

RE5E sounds like a droid name from Star Wars.

With so many ideas, you could have a series. Could you get away with Advanced 5th Edition: Basic Rules, Expert Rules, Companion Rules, Master Rules & Immortal Rules... ?

 

[ThatGuySteve]

New Frontiers: Advanced 5th Edition

Only if the books are color coded to the old boxes.

Is there going to be any kind of setting detail to go along with the crunch? Maybe the name can be tied into the implied world setting, if there is one. And maybe that name can obliquely reference "5" in some clever way. Use the prefix quint for a world or character name? "The Secret Codex of Edditon the 5th"?

 

[TiwazTyrsfist]

Alternately, go full left field.

Steve

That's it, just name it Steve

Steve - "An advanced extra crunchy version of D&D 5e"

"Yeah, I'm running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, but I've modified it to run it using Steve"

 

[vincegetorix]

Steve

or 5teve.
5e: Tales of Epic Victories and Exploits

 

[Eyes of Nine]

or 5teve.
5e: Tales of Epic Victories and Exploits

Nailed it.

 

[Lord Mhoram]

or 5teve.
5e: Tales of Epic Victories and Exploits

I remember that people on the Hero system forums were figuring out what to call the big revised book - for HERO 5th.. and one of the owners (may have been Steve Long but I don't recall) said, paraphrased - Call it Fred if you like, as long as you buy one. So that was retconned to Fifth Revised Edition by the fans, and was thereafter called FREd on the Boards

I think we can confidently rule out 5TEVE and any other acronyms that spell out common first names
