A New World of Adventure

Discover the World of Aetaltis, an amazing new campaign setting designed for use with the Fifth Edition of the world’s best-known roleplaying game. In Aetaltis, you’ll unlock a setting that rekindles the fire of classic heroic fantasy game worlds. It’s everything that made fantasy RPGs such an incredible phenomenon, reimagined and refreshed for today’s gamers.

The World of Aetaltis: Player’s Guide includes everything you need to make a character for a World of Aetaltis game, as well as the Aetaltis rules you’ll need at the table over the course of your adventures! Inside, you’ll find:

  • Seven New Lineages (Plus All Your Old Favorites): Play one of the seven new Aetaltan lineages, including cheebats, drothmals, fairies, newardin, orogs, scythaa, and sprites. Or choose from your old favorites, such as humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings.
  • Cultures, Callings, and Finishing Touches: Add richness and depth to your adventurer with new character creation options. Choose from fifteen unique Aetaltan cultures, nine different callings, and a wealth of options for fleshing out your character’s history.
  • Heroic Character Classes: Everything you need to know to play your favorite classes in an Aetaltis adventure, plus the new Mountebank class.
  • New Point-Based Magic System: Discover the secrets of glyph magic, an exciting new system for point-based arcane spellcasting. Draw on the power of ley lines, charge your essence stones, and cast spells directly from newly recovered spellbooks. But beware! Roll a 1 and you face potential disaster with catastrophic spell failure!
  • And Much More: All of the great content described above, plus a dozen new divine domains, nine new backgrounds, new spells, and over twenty pages of equipment with a revised pricing system based on real 13th century European prices!

So grab your blade and spellbook, gather your most courageous companions, and get ready to start your adventure in the World of Aetaltis!

 And for even more adventure, check out the entire line of World of Aetaltis books.

I recently purchased the POD of the Gamesmater's Guide and returned to purchase the POD of this title only to find no POD option available. Will it be returning? Is this due to the OGL controversy with WOTC? Really disappointed I can't finish purchasing the set.

This isn't something we did. They should be available still. I've sent a message to publisher services to sort out what happened. Sorry for the problem!

Hi there! First of all, I love the WoA-Books. Tons of lore, great artworks. I just noticed something that made me scratch my head: In the weapons list on p. 145, all spears and polearms are categorized as martial weapons, even our good ol' spear that is categorized as a simple weapon in the 5e Player's Handbook. Is this intentional? It would mean the simple-weapons-only-classes can't use spears in this setting. Made me wonder...

So if I have this right there are no Bards, Paladins,Monks,Sorcerers or Warlocks in this world if I'm using it as written?

All of those classes exist in Aetaltis. We just haven't released information about how they fit into the world yet. Future products will talk about each of these classes.

A fully realized new campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons needs a holistic guidebook like this for players. To ground them in the setting and to provide them with all of the mechanics and details they'll need to get the most out of their Aetaltis campaign setting experience. This book, coupled with the Adventurers guide gives all of the information a solid role playing gamer needs to have intelligent, in-world backstories, rich character concepts grounded in the world with depth of detail and a well-rounded character ready to become a new legend in Aetaltis. Playing the Ogre-like Orog lineage or the exciting Sprite or Fairy lineage gains everything needed to be a fantastic and successful character with this great book. As a DM who runs Aetaltis, I recommend this book to be bought or digitally downloaded and read through and through to anyone interested in joining my campaign. It makes all the difference between mediocre character design, and GREAT character design.

The guide looks good, but it would be helpful if the PDF index was hyperlinked to make navigation easier. Also, the index appears to be numbered incorrectly. For example, it says Chapter 9, Magic and Spells starts on page 159, but it starts on page 162, per the actual numbers showing on the pages (and it is page 164 if you follow the PDF pagination in single page view).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
