Amazing Adventures 5E RPG

I have been a fan of Amazing Adventures since my good friend Jason Vey told he was writing it one day. Jason and I met while working for Eden Studios back in the late 90s and the early 2000s. Since then we have playtested and given advice on each other's games.
The original Amazing Adventures was two-fisted, high action pulpy goodness using the SIEGE Engine rules that powers the Castles & Crusades RPG. Over the years and supplements, it has morphed into a more multi-genre system complete with powers and all sorts of magic and psionics.
Amazing Adventures 5e makes this all explicit now and does it using the same d20 system that D&D 5e uses. Which seems only fair given how much of C&C you can find in D&D5.
Yes, you can still do pulp, but you can also do modern gaming, Victorian and futuristic Sci-Fi.
I have read and played the playtest and it is every bit as awesome as that cover promises it is.
OR use it as an add-on to your D&D 5 rules with some extra classes and work right alongside of the classics.
Seriously this one is a no-brainer.
It has blown past the stretch goals, which is great since you now get "Don't Fear the Ripper" and "The Feast of Black Annis" adventures which are great. I am just tickled, having played with Jason's home group in the past, to see "Don't Fear the Ripper" get new life as an AA5 adventure.
Lots of great stuff here and you should check it out.
Thanks for this, Tim! The Kickstarter is going great--it funded in under 2 hours, has smashed through a ton of stretch goals, and is closing in on $30k and the unveiling of the next FIVE, which are going to be some awesome stuff. We also released a FREE PREVIEW of the game for backers this weekend, so head over and check it out!
