over 1 year ago – Sat, Sep 03, 2022 at 02:00:33 AM

Dungeon Delver’s Guide is now live on Kickstarter! Click the banner below to take a look and learn more.

The Dungeon Delver’s Guide is a comprehensive toolkit for running (and exploring!) dungeons. This essential 300-page sourcebook for use with 5E and Level Up: Advanced 5E contains everything you need to create compelling and deadly mazes and lairs, and new player options for adventurers who want to venture below and return to the surface alive. 

This mighty tome includes:

  • New character options, from ratling decomposer druids to doppelganger shadow stalker rogues.
  • New gear, spells, and mounts to prepare your adventurers against subterranean threats.
  • More than a hundred clever traps, tricks, and puzzles that challenge players instead of punishing them.
  • Terrifying new monsters which populate the darkest corners of the world.
  • How-to guides for building satisfying underground adventures
  • dungeon-building system to build unique, thematic dungeons and lairs.
  •  Premade dungeons for characters of any level, ready to drop into an existing campaign.
  • A guide to the haunted cities and midnight seas of Underland, the weird realm beneath the earth.

We're so excited to continue to grow Level Up Advanced 5th Edition and bring you more content for your A5E games. We had so much fun creating the Dungeon Delver’s Guide, and can't wait to share it with you!

Archetypes: Playing Against Type
The classes in Level Up are far more versatile than they have been in any previous incarnation of the game, but even given that there are certain “flavor baselines” that people expect: adepts are quick and agile rather than strong and tough; druids don’t use metal armor; rogues are better at doing harm than preventing it. But even these baselines need not be so! Here you will find an adept that can happily trade blows with an ogre, a druid who is comfortable in plate armor, and a rogue that could be your best chance of making it out of a dangerous situation intact.
By Peter N. Martin

Pet Chaos: The Beast Unity Combat Tradition
Whether it’s a stealthy warrior stalking enemies alongside a panther, an archer calling a falcon from the sky, or a brawler facing down the odds with their faithful hound, the image of a hero and their animal companion is an iconic one. This combat tradition seeks to build on existing mechanics to provide players and Narrators alike a dynamic set of tools for cultivating just such a hero—or villain!
By Boo Ludlow

Forensic Magic: Spells of the School of Law
In a world of magic and gods, there are lawbreakers who cannot be caught by normal means. In rich and powerful cities, the spellcasters trained in the magical investigation of these crimes are known as the Arcane Inquisitors. These are their stories.
By Paul Hughes

Hardwired Heresies: The Mechanoskulls
Whether to honor the fallen or inspire fear in one’s enemies, different societies fit various kinds of technology and magical reagents into the craniums of the dead, forcing them into service even after they’ve shuffled off their mortal coils.
By Mike Myler

Take A Look At The New Online Tools
almost 2 years ago – Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 11:08:24 PM

Hey folks! With the Kickstarter for Dungeon Delver's Guide only a few weeks away on August 30th, we have a few other updates for you!

New Tools!

Over on the official Level Up tools site, A5E.tools, there are some new … err, well, tools!

The following tools are not based on rules in the books, but are very useful nevertheless.

The character builder is still some way away. It's a very complex project! We'll update when we have more news.

Dungeon Delver's Guide

As we mentioned, Dungeon Delver's Guide is coming on August 30th. We have a TON of previews up on LevelUP5E.com!

Combat Maneuver Cards

Don't forget, you can pre-order the Combat Maneuver Cards while stocks last! The Combat Maneuvers Card Deck will save you time, and give a visual reference of the combat maneuvers your character has learned in your Level Up 5E games.

The deck contains 176 combat maneuver cards.

It's Tabletop Time!

Ragtag is a semi-comical TTRPG actual play campaign for roleplayers who know what's up. They poke fun at tropes endlessly, and skirt around them with characters who've been there, done that, got the postcard, and are now just ready to go home and brew some mead.

Level Up’s Third Party Publishers Speak Up!

Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition comes with a generous license which allows third party publishers to create and sell content compatible with the game. We took a moment to talk to some of them!

We maintain a list of the third party A5E products (that we know about) on the official tools site.

You can read our interview with them here!

That's all for now. Thanks, folks! And don't forget, Dungeon Delver's Guide, coming to Kickstarter on August 30th!
