Make Your 5e Content Go Further

If you’re a TTRPG creator working with D&D 5e mechanics, you can make your content compatible with Free5e, a fully open, CC-BY licensed 5e system built for creators. Whether you’re publishing adventures, designing subclasses, or building a whole campaign setting, Free5e gives you a flexible and open foundation to build on, remix, and share.

How to Make Your Content Free5e Compatible

Free5e draws from a combination of open 5e sources, including the 2014 5e SRD, A5E SRD, and other CC-BY content from creators like Sly Flourish, KibblesTasty, and Wyrmworks Publishing, all adapted for immediate compatibility with 2014 5e. That makes it easy to adapt content originally designed for 5e to work seamlessly with Free5e.

Free5e also includes:

• Conversion guidance for 2014 and 2024 D&D, Level Up: Advanced 5e, and Tales of the Valiant
• Naming conventions and design structure to keep your work consistent with the system
• Open core rules, freely available and openly licensed under CC BY 4.0

Since all this material is already open-licensed, you can publish, remix, or sell compatible content without needing approval or paying royalties, just as with any other CC-BY project.

Using the Free5e Compatible Logo

Once your content works with Free5e, use the Free5e Compatible logo to show it! The logo comes in several designs. You’re welcome to customize it to fit your project’s style. If you post your product to DriveThruRPG, make sure to list Free5e compatibility in the description!

• Includes layered PSD for editing
• Licensed under CC BY 4.0
• No extra attribution needed if you already cite Free5e

The logo lets others know that your project is part of the open Free5e ecosystem without implying endorsement by Wyrmworks Publishing.

What Is the Wyrmworks Unfettered Logo?

The Wyrmworks Unfettered logo is used on content created by Wyrmworks Publishing that is fully licensed under CC-BY. It signals that the content is free to reuse, remix, and adapt without restrictions.

Let’s build a more open, creator-friendly TTRPG community—together.
