The Fifth World began with an excited discussion Mike & I had about the OGL a few years back, where we speculated how much further we could go not only with open source rules, but an open source setting to go with them. Inspired by Michael Green’s Afterculture, and mechanically by Ben Lehman’s Polaris and Matthijs Holter’s Archipelago, this playtest features me, Willem Larsen (of the College of Mythic Cartography) and Cory.

If you plan to attend Dreamation this weekend in Morristown, NJ, let me know. I’ll run four playtests of The Fifth World there, and a few slots still remain open.
