Do you want fantasy characters who have deep ties to their world? Backstory that directly affects mechanical traits? A fun, fast, unique character creation minigame?
We're down to the last 24 hours of the Kickstarter campaign for Steps To A Hero. It's the 125+ page book implementing a lifepath character generation system designed for compatibility with D&D 5e!
Thanks to everyone who's already supported the project!
What's a lifepath?
A lifepath is a unique tool for producing a roleplaying game
character, beginning them early in life and setting them down a path to
become the person that the player will begin the game with. It tells a story about how
a character came about, replacing the common process of generating
race, background, ability scores, and other traits.
A lifepath is
a process of discovery, and each step on the path is an event,
decision, or encounter which will reveal things about your character –
generating both backstory and game-mechanical traits as you go. Everything in the book is streamlined for 5e, overriding or complementing parts of the base
game.
What's in the book?
In Steps to a Hero, you’ll find
- Everything you need to develop characters with lifepaths for fifth-edition fantasy roleplaying
- 300 unique lifepath 'steps', each one combining a piece of weird/medieval fantasy short fiction and corresponding character traits
- A comprehensive set of rules describing the lifepath process, plus optional rules for tweaking character generation
- A ton of 5e game content including hundreds of new background features, and methods to make many millions of possible stories and backgrounds
- Support for 12 ancestries, including all the classics, plus half-djinni, half-minotaur, half-dryad, and shorewalker
