In The Fifth Season Roleplaying Game, you and a group of friends (the players) take on the roles of fictional people (Player Characters or PCs) in a world of The Stillness. One person must be the Game Moderator (GM), who acts like the narrator of a story or the director of a play or movie. The GM sets the scene and describes what happens in the world around your characters. Then the other players decide what their PCs do in response. The GM describes the outcome of those actions, and on you go, spinning your own Fifth Season story. Roleplaying is much like cooperative fan fiction or simulation gaming, where a group of people work together to build a fun and exciting story. Although it’s the GM’s job to portray the various antagonists in the story, as well as the PCs’ allies, the GM isn’t playing against everyone else. In fact, it’s the GM’s job to help ensure everyone has fun and that the group tells an enjoyable story. Think of a roleplaying game like an extended version of the various games of make believe we all played as children, only with rules to help guide the story and a GM to set the stage and keep things moving along. It’s fun, give it a try!

The Fifth Season RPG is powered by the Adventure Game Engine (AGE). The game uses a bespoke version of the rules shared by many other Green Ronin RPGs: Blue Rose, Cthulhu Awakens, The Expanse, Fantasy AGE, and Modern AGE. If you’ve played an AGE game before, you already know the basics of how The Fifth Season RPG works.

You only need three 6-sided dice to play. Every player and the Game Moderator will want their own set. Each should have two dice of one color and a third of a different color. That third die is known as the Drama Die and it has several specific uses in the game, the most fun of which is performing stunts.

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
