Free5e Press Kit

Free5e

Free5e is a fully free, open-source 5e alternative, designed to make tabletop roleplaying games accessible to everyone—forever. Built from high-quality, open-license content, Free5e removes financial and corporate barriers, allowing players and creators to download, modify, and share the system without restrictions.

Free5e offers complete core books—the Player’s Guide, GM Handbook, and Free Range Monsters—with full character options, adventure-building tools, and a vast bestiary. It’s also available in multiple accessible formats, including dyslexia-friendly PDFs, ePub, digital braille, print-on-demand, and more for any need or budget.

Free5e is community-driven, adaptable, and fully independent, ensuring a future where everyone can play, create, and expand their worlds without limitations.

Update:

Both the Free5e Player’s Guide and Game Master’s Handbook are fully funded! Thanks to overwhelming community support, we’re bringing two fully open, inclusive 5e books to life by November. Through our pre-order store (open until June 16), you can still become part of the game — literally — by working with our artists to create custom character art or naming a spell or item to appear in the books!
