About the project:
This Kickstarter contains the 260-page hardcover Planestrider’s Journal, and optionally the 50-page Captain Cobalt’s Codicil softcover and an 18″ x 12″ poster map of Cobalt’s Chart of Creation.
Planestrider’s Journal
This book presents a fantastical cosmology for both Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, and for D&D 5E. While you can pick up the Level Up core rules right here on this Kickstarter, you can use the Planestrider’s Journal right alongside your core D&D books. Where there are occasional deviations from the original rules, we tell you everything you need to know.
D&D has it’s own cosmology, but it’s not the only cosmology! You can use this one instead of–or even alongside–the one presented in D&D. You can use it in whole, or in part, simply grabbing the new planes which strike your fancy. Surprise your players with wondrous new realms they’ve never even dreamed of–the multiverse is far larger than they imagined!
