Hi there. I co-created this project. We offer 4 different options to the player on how they would like to modify their attributes. Also we've created new versions of the human, half-elf, and mountain dwarf races so that they are not left behind by the new system. It's free to download and only a 2 page read, I encourage you to check it out!
Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to post, but this is "Old Smoke", a contemporary 5e setting I'm working on:
Click the title art to access the current work-in-progress version of the setting document. Hopefully more than enough to run a game if it appeals.!
It's set in an alternate modern-day London, and leans in to surreal magic and high drama more than 5e. I'm still working on the narrative flow of the document, my aim is to produce something a new player could conceivably read end-to-end to pick up the gist of the world, then put reference sections and class information towards the back end.
I'm a born Londoner, so the lore aligns well with real-world London's history and culture, just with magic wands and tieflings and stuff.
I'm currently working on the custom classes/weapons/baddies and things; might put a shout out in to the Help Wanted or Offered for that, as it's not my strong suit and progress is slow. So far, the following classes are starting to form:
Sage: Spell class focussed on maintaining attunement with London's magical energy flow.
Bruiser: Tank class whose ablative magical armour can also help negate randomised magical occurrences.
Breach Caster: Spellcaster who can supplement available spell slots at the cost of increased risk of randomised magical occurrences.
Agent: Melee/magic-based utility-focussed class, each with an animal familiar.
Bartitsuka: Highly dexterous, gentlemanly martial artist with excellent taste in shooting hats.
Empath: Non-magical individuals who can interact with the arcane through their influence upon others.
I'm excited to announce the release of my newest game, 5e Arena here on itch.io. This game is a bit different from what most people post here: it's a digital gamebook that allows you to use your own 5th edition character sheet, roll your dice, and run your character, but play in the browser against enemies that are controlled by the game. Unlike my other digital gamebooks, this one is less narrative and more combat-focused, but there's still a host of intriguing characters . You can play for free here: https://sayeth.itch.io/5e-arena
