Although it's the slimmest volume of Into the Unkown, Book 2: Playing the Game brings the fundamentals of old-school play to the fifth edition of the world's oldest role-playing game. By introducing turn based dungeon and wilderness exploration with segments and watches, and modifying short and long rest rules, this volume brings old school functionality to new school mechanics. You've never enjoyed middle school so much!

Bridging the gap between the B/X and Fifth editions of the world's oldest role-playing game, Into the Unknown is written for fans of the OSR or new school players alike. Book:1 Characters contains everything needed to create B/X style race-as-class characters for 5e games, but the specialization of the familiar 4 basic classes allows several new-school options for use with the complete rules system contained in the 5 volume Into the Unknown set.

In addition to character creation rules, the Book 1 contains an equipment sections which inlcudes old-school mainstays like henchmen while retaining new-school features such as lifestyle expenses. A simple-but-robust weapon creation and modification system replaces stock weapon list, allowing players to craft a weapon suited to their characters individual abilities.

While the steamlining of 5e is fully explained in later volumes, an appendix lists the differences between 5e and Into the Unknown in a single page, making this volume a valuable purchase for any fan of 5e.

Ever had a non-gamer friend express an interest only to watch their face fall when you passed them a "slim" 64 page rulebook?
