Adventures in ZEITGEIST is a hardcover setting book coming in 2022. It details the ZEITGEIST world, along with a whole slew of heritages, cultures, backgrounds, equipment, archetypes, the new Savant class, and so much more.
The book is written and in layout as we speak. Below are some previews — these are not final layout previews, and will look much prettier in the actual book! But they do give a sense of the type of content.
To add this book to your pledge (if you haven't already ordered it!) use the Backerkit link sent to you for the pledge manager and shipping survey. If you need your unique link resent to you, CLICK HERE.
Hi folks! You should have received an email from Backerkit inviting you to the pledge manager. If you can't find it, head to this web page to get it sent again:
https://levelup5e.backerkit.com/
You can use the pledge manager to provide your shipping address (if necessary) and to add any add-ons you didn't add during the Kickstarter itself.
The pre-order store is also available for those who missed the Kickstarter. You can find it here:
https://levelup5e.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Note that this isn't another Kickstarter, so it's not structured with pledge levels. It's a pre-order store where you can select which items you wish to order.
Don't forget that this book is still in layout, so the PDFs won't go out until next year.
Thanks folks!

Hey folks! A quick update for you today.
All backers should now have received an invitation to the beta online tools site. I can see a couple thousand have already registered accounts there, and I hope you guys are all enjoying it! It's a beta site, and will develop before your very eyes, but there's already a ton of useful content.
Adventures in ZEITGEIST's layout is well underway. I figured you might like a sneak peek at the Savant class table!
Warriors rely on their physical prowess, and spellcasters have all manner of magic, but a savant needs no weapon or armor, only their mind. Brilliant ingenuity, meticulous planning, or keen deductions will win them the day and leave their enemies confused at how they were defeated.
Of course, you’d have to be a fool to not use weapons, armor, or magic when they’re available, and savants are no fools. Knowledge is power, but power is also power. A savant is at their most effective when they have an array of tools at their disposal and an assortment of allies to enact their cunning schemes.
We expect to open the pledge manager in a couple of days. If you missed the Kickstarter, you can make a late pledge. If you want to add add-ons to your existing pledges, you can do that too. We'll announce when it's open.
The Gate Pass Gazette is nearly halfway funded with 222 of the 500 subscribers we need to launch this monthly digital magazine for official Level Up rules content. If you like regular LU content, please do subscribe! You can cancel at any time, but we do need 500 subscribers in order to launch.
Thank you all so much for your errata reports. We've started applying them and expect to have the print-ready files ready on time for the printer early next week. You will, of course, get your copy of the PDF upgraded for free then!
I thought I'd share one particular fun bit of errata with you. The Press the Attack and Fall Back combat actions in the PDF you have is from an earlier draft (something many of you noticed!) -- the new file has the correct wording, which we think you'll agree is much better!
Thank you all so much. I'll update you next when the pledge manager opens!

Hey folks -- this is a quick update to answer some common questions.
This is coming soon. Setting it up takes some time, but we hope to have it up and running sometime this week. If you missed the Kickstarter or want to upgrade your pledge, you'll be able to do so there.
Digital add-ons are going out. A couple thousand backers added digital add-ons, and we have to process each manually, but we're working as fast as we can!
So far we have about 60 subscribers to the official digital zine for Level Up. When we reach 500 subs, we'll launch it. Note that issue 1 will get made irrespective of that target, as it was a stretch goal and is free to all backers. Please do head here to sign up -- you won't be charged until Issue 2 is released, which won't be until next year, and you can cancel at any time, but we need the subs in place to start making it!
We've currently opened these to a small group (the design team, about 30 people) while they test it. We'll be opening it in stages to Kickstarter backers soon. You'll need to create an account, but it's free. Here's what's done so far (we've been working HARD!) --
What you'll have early access to is essentially a beta version available only to backers.
Thank you all so much for your bug reports. About a thousand of you have kindly submitted reports (fortunately that's not 1000 different bugs, just a handful reported lots of times!) We'll keep that open for a bit, before collating them all for processing. You'll find the form here.
As you are aware, the Region tables in Trials & Treasure are being reformatted. Below you'll see what the new version looks like. I think you'll agree this two-pagespread Region format looks much better. That's why we wanted to redo those pages. This won't impact our print schedule at all. The "page @@" placeholders will be replaced once that's done and we know what the page numbers are!
We know about the borked bookmarks issue, and we're fixing it. Expect them to be working correctly in the final files.
Thanks folks! It's incredibly exciting to see all the chatter on the forums and discord!
