The Adventure Time role-playing game is a great success.
The new Cyrptozoic Adventure time The role-playing game raised more than $500,000. Launched earlier this month, Cryptozoic's Kickstarter campaign produce a series of products for Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game just crossed the $500,000 mark. The game was designed using the rules of D&D 5E instead of a bespoke system and will allow players to create characters that fit Adventure Time aesthetic with players able to create fruits with mutations, characters with robot limbs and even penguins, rainicorns and BMOs.
When Adventure Time: the role-playing game was originally announced in 2023, Cryptozoic has announced plans to use a new game system alongside a 5E version. In explaining their reasoning for using 5E for a Adventure time game, Crpytozoic noted that one of the Adventure Time the main inspiration was older versions of D&D. “Adventure Time has its roots in the older editions of Dungeons & Dragons, with episodes and story arcs drawn from the pastiche fantasy adventure that the second and third editions presented so well,” Cryptozoic said in its Kickstarter campaign. “We believe that 5E's high-quality design – and its very nature – is well-suited to capture the boundless excitement and sense of wonder that is at the heart of Adventure Time. If Dungeons & Dragons gave birth to Adventure Time, by using 5E for Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game, comes full circle and is faithful to the spirit of the series.”
Exclusive to Kickstarter, Adventure Time: the role-playing game also comes with Jake's Shmowzow Guide to Role Playing, which aims to introduce newcomers to role-playing games and is written by veteran game designer and former D&D executive producer Ray Winninger.
Players can obtain the core rulebook for Adventure Time: the role-playing game with a pledge of $50. Additional options (one of which includes a Adventure time adventure book) are also available. The Kickstarter will run until May 15.
