This all-new Amazing Adventures 5E Bundle presents the current (2020) edition of Amazing Adventures, the Troll Lord Games multi-genre RPG based on the D&D Fifth Edition rules.

The Amazing Adventures first edition rulebook (2018) (part of our May 2016 Pulp Adventure Bundle) focused on 1930s action using Troll Lord's SIEGE Engine house system, the basis of Castles & Crusades. This new 2020 edition, completely compatible with D&D Fifth Edition, comes from Troll Lord staff writer Jason Vey (Night Shift), whose Twitter bio reads "That #TTRPG designer with decades of solid sales and successful games who you've still never heard of."

Now equipped for modern or futuristic scenarios in many genres, Amazing Adventures 5E lets you run anything from 1930s pulp adventure to modern urban fantasy, cyberpunk corporate raiding to space opera. New character classes include Arcanist, Gadgeteer, Gumshoe, Hallowed, Hooligan, Mentalist, Occultist, Pugilist, Raider, and Socialite. AA5E adds new systems for vehicle combat, firearms (two sets of rules to suit your taste for complexity), cinematic unarmed slugfests, psionics, modern toolkits and adventuring packs, science fiction weapons, and a bestiary of creatures mundane, supernatural, and alien. This 5E rulebook is a toolkit to build any style of play you like.

We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices.

Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to this Amazing Adventures offer's pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.

The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$75. Customers who pay just US$9.95 get all four titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $41) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Amazing Adventures 5E core rulebook (retail price $20) and its Character Journal (retail $4); the campaign sourcebook The Brotherhood of William St. John (retail $10); and the location sandbox Ruins of Ends Meet (retail $7).

Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $17.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with four more adventures worth an additional $34, including Rise of the Red God (retail $9) and its sequel Rings of the Red God (retail $10); the Deeper Dark Trilogy (retail $8); and Day of the Worm (retail price $7).

This is presented as a generic multi-genre RPG, but in fact is mostly designed for "pulp fiction" adventures set in the 1930s to present day, with some additions for SF etc., which means it's chasing the same user base as Call of Cthulhu, some of the Hero System, and a lot of GURPS. The big plus for some players will be the use of 5E rules, probably the most widely used rules set. My own preference here is either Call of Cthulhu or my own game systems, which I know a LOT better than 5E, but tastes differ. I can't see any obvious reason not to go for it if you want it, but as usual I should stress that I get most of these bundles free if I want them, if you pay for this stuff your opinion may differ.
