I’ve been watching the videos WotC has been releasing about the new edition of the game. while I am pleased with many of the changes, it has become clear that these changes will impact the rules for AvV in a few ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The changes I’ve noticed already affect Species (races\/ancestries), Backgrounds, Wizards, Druids, and Rangers. I like the Weapon Mastery rules and as long as the basics are included in the SRD, we will include them (and expand upon them) in the revised 5.5 AvV rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the new subclasses or archetypes are fairly appropriate for the AvV setting. Others are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way they are dividing the druid into either a martial or spellcaster role is good, but may conflict with an existing druid circle in the AvV setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this has lead to me making a few decisions about the way forward for AvV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the short term, I will be releasing all the 5e content that is currently only on Patreon<\/a>. This includes Academic Backgrounds (released today, right here<\/a>), along with the Commander, Monk Traditions, and some sections of the Ancient Magic project (more about that in a future post). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, I will start posting 5.5e content exclusively on Patreon<\/a>. That will begin soon, as I already have some ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mid term, the upcoming AvV Player’s Guide<\/a><\/em> will include all the revised and improved changes for 5.5e. It will likely be on Kickstarter in the first quarter of 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Player’s Guide<\/a><\/em> is released through Kickstater, I will release portions of it as PDFs on DriveThu. So, as of right now, the plan is to make the 5.5e content exclusively available on Patreon<\/a> before it becomes available through Kickstarter. Only after that will it be available on DriveThru. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the long term, we will continue to develop campaign paths, side quests, and the Campaign Guide<\/em>. Once those projects are in motion, we will begin developing AvV for other game systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you would like to get early access to the latest version of the AvV rules, join my Patreon<\/a> right here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you are interested in the Player’s Guide<\/a><\/em>, join the mailing list<\/a> to receive announcements and updates! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for more posts about the 5.5e changes to AvV! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
