Limitless Heroics

Including Characters with Disabilities, Mental Illness, and Neurodivergence in Fifth Edition

Limitless Heroics is the most comprehensive disability compendium ever created for a Tabletop Role-Playing Game. For Fifth Edition, it provides:

  • 450+ Traits: Game mechanics for nearly every trait in existence (plus some fantasy traits, because that’s what you should expect in a world with magic)
  • 78 Random tables to choose or generate the traits, their degree of severity, and their frequency
  • 93+ New Magic Items and an online random generator for thousands more! Nearly every trait includes mundane and magic assistive options.
  • Thousands of real world examples so players can learn more and better represent the traits
  • Tutorials: Opening articles discuss how and why to implement these options, how to discuss it with your players, and common tropes to avoid. You have all the tools here to run an inclusive campaign.

Our website will have a free random generator to simplify determining character traits, but you’ll need the book for the descriptions and mechanics, or you can use the included tables to choose or roll manually. We talked to dozens of people with diverse traits to make sure our game mechanics represented their experiences. All writers, editors, and artists for this book are disabled, neurodivergent, and/or have mental or chronic illness.

Limitless Heroics launches on Kickstarter January 4 through February 3, 2022. Sign up to get notified when it goes live for a free first day backer tutorial adventure to help you implement these mechanics into your game!

Wyrmworks Publishing believes that representation of disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental illness in tabletop role-playing games helps players normalize interactions in real life by practicing in an imaginary setting. Disabled players who have consulted on the book have expressed joy in being recognized and given an easy way to demonstrate their experiences through game mechanics to help others understand their experiences, how they adapt, and how others can help.

LIMITLESS HEROICS yellow letters against swirling black, magenta & cyan background. 5e compatible shield lower left. Book with cover of 4 disabled heroes fighting a hydra on the right.
Book & Kindle displaying cover: As our heroes fight the hydra, we see just some of the variety of traits represented in this book. The paladin has a prosthetic arm to assist with their amputation. The barbarian rages from their wheelchair, providing mobility for their paralyzed legs. The ranger, whose body is more accustomed to an aquatic environment just as someone in the real world may be more comfortable in a quieter or darker sensory environment, finds ways to compensate and keep fighting. The wizard’s vitiligo may not be thought of as a disability, nor should it be, yet many in the real world experience severe discrimination due to unusual skin pigment — how many celebrities, corporate executives, or politicians do you know with visibly irregular skin?
