The 5E Kickstarter is live. Some of their choices for stretch goals are a little puzzling but for folks that are interested, it seems like it's a good value for three books. I've backed it already, though I'm not sure if I will use the 5E rules or stick with the current D6 version of the game. I suppose it depends on how well it feels like the iconic elements of the Iron Kingdoms ('Jacks, mechanika, gunplay, etc.) are done for the 5E rules.

Anyways, I saw that nobody has posted it so I figured I'd do so for those that are interested.

Happy Tuesday!

Would have grabbed the physical version of the book if I could, but the shipping estimate was murderous.

Just found this in the comments on the Kickstarter and figured it would be worth posting to get a glimpse of some of the character creation. I'm not very knowledgeable on 5E rules though - I've only played the system once as a player character.

From Privateer Press lead designer Will Hungerford:

"We'll be offering options for original character creation, as well as an alternate system known as Essence. Essence will allow a player to choose a physical or mental archetype such as "Mighty" or "Intellectual" or "Agile" that replaces normal benefits associated with playing a specific race, and uses the Essence benefits instead. So if you want to play a Mighty Gobber, or an Agile Ogrun, or maybe even a Pious Rhulic Dwarf, you will have those options as an alternative."

-- Matt Wilson

It was in response to this question:

This may seem like an odd question, but are you planning to use the character creation rules as presented in the 5e PHB or will they be more in line with rules presented in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything?

I am looking forward to it.

Well, that's not my game. That's all.

You create your own destiny, and your lot in life is not fixed at birth.

Truth is truth, regardless how bitter it is.
Dawn will come even if the rooster is strangled.
Rest in Peace, Captain Victoria Haley, Captain Dixon Lynch, Lieutenant Darsey Ryan, and Sergeant Samuel Watts. You are my heroes in the dark times.
As an arch-hater of vancian magic, I curse the abomination. It should be removed from the history for good.
