Nat19 Pre-Orders: 2025 Splash Book Camapign

Created by Nat19

Through 2025, Nat19 has created quarterly splash books for 5th Edition, featuring new options for players and GMs—now we're funding physical copies in both soft and hardcover formats!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Compendium Goal Reached! You might want to switch tiers!
3 months ago – Fri, Dec 26, 2025 at 06:54:30 PM

We're reached the goal to make the compendium of these three books, which currently has the working title "Bone, Blade, and Benefit"! We've added it both as an add-on and added a tier for it! Thank you so much for backing this project and getting it here!



For those confused about this goal and why you might want to switch to it, this compendium will include all of the content of the three existing books, as well as add a fourth book of content to fill out the sort of content within it - more classes, subclasses, NPCs, spells, items, etc.! The compendium is only available as a softcover just now, but if we reach 60k a hardcover option will be available!

And for those wondering why the compendium costs more, as above, it's because it's going to have a much larger page count than the books on their own! That said, if you switch to the compendium, you'll technically be paying more for the tier/add-on, BUT you'll be cutting down on shipping costs for the individual books due to the reduced item cost, so in the end it evens out to about the same/less when compared to buying the books together.

Nat19 Splash Books @ Anime Frontier - Thanks for Coming!
3 months ago – Sun, Dec 21, 2025 at 12:40:01 PM

Sorry for the lack of communication, everyone! We were in Dallas attending Anime Frontier last weekend, putting on a live show featuring content from these very books that (despite some tech issues) was a ton of fun! If you want, you can check out the first session leading up to the liveshow, which we did in our usual format - I'll post that below:

We're into the final stretch of the month now, with ten days remaining. We hope we can hit the compendium stretch goal, as we're very excited about the opportunity to make something bigger out of these books! We hope that everyone's holidays have been great, and if anyone has any questions about the campaign, we encourage you to leave comments clarifying or asking~!

Softcover Options: Lyre's Guides to Retia, and Risk & Reward
3 months ago – Sat, Dec 06, 2025 at 02:08:38 PM

We know many who have backed this project have physical copies of these books coming, but there was some interest in adding softcover copies for new backers (since softcovers of these have never been available this way before). We aren't able to offer hardcovers of these books through this campaign, but we've added Lyre's Guide to Retia and Lyre's Guide to Risk & Reward as softcover options that you may order as add-ons!

Lyre's Guide to Retia (616 Pages)

This 600+ page softcover book features the core of the 5.19E system, and contains a wealth of new play options, spells, and more! It is a tremendous book that serves as the foundation for the Somnus Domina setting! Specifically, it contains:
  • 5 new classes
  • New optional base class features
  • 34 New Races
  • Over 190 Subraces
  • New systems to mix races
  • New Equipment & Firearms
  • Over 200 spells
  • Spell Groups
  • Feats
  • Backgrounds
  • Reincarnations Tables

The PDF for this book is already included in all orders that have the digital files/PDFs from the pledge tiers.



Lyre's Guide to Risk & Reward (373 Pages)

This book is a 360-page bestiary, treasurey, and more, that serves as a companion to Lyre's Guide to Retia! It serves as the basis for the 5.19E bestiary, and is filled to the brim with extensive art, lore, monsters, gods, and more! It also contains mechs, called DGRs, and includes systems for piloting and modifying them!
  • Over 200 NPCs
  • Mechs, called DGRs
  • Rules for piloting, customizing, and scaling DGRs
  • A treasury of wondrous and magical items
  • Artifacts, both traditional and of new types, all with unique mechanics
  • Hazards, including chaotic magic fields, unsafe nourishment, and more
