Paradise Lost: 5e Adaptation
A downloadable game
Have you ever read something and thought, "wow, I would LOVE to run a TTRPG with this stuff"? Well, worry no more!
This is a work in progress adaptation of John Milton's Paradise Lost into a 5th Edition compatible sourcebook! The foundation comes from the fact it was a capstone project for a class specifically regarding Milton. I am working to provide updates in the form of additional content, as well as refresh what was added in 2024.
Currently, this sourcebook contains some background information and a few creatures. The plan is to add more info and context regarding specific acts, elaborated skills and abilities, in-depth creatures and NPCs that have a unique and inspired edge to them, classes, questlines and one-shots with variable levels for playability, and more!
All art utilized in the book is subject to Wizards of the Coast's fan use policy. If it wasn't obvious - I do not own it. I also have a BA in English and play RPGs, so that's my weird authority on the blasphemy behind this.
I anticipate updating this every two months! I will be putting updates on my Twitter/X and Bluesky when I get around to using that, lmao.
