It's no secret that D&D 5e is THE most popular TTRPG around, it's got a pretty great core system, a fantastic community of 3rd party creators producing mountains of great content —but it's also no secret that 5e has plenty of rough edges and frustrations.
Nimble 5e uses the bones of D&D 5e, and fixes many of its frustrations using the best elements of some of the greatest RPGs around today. No more waiting 15 minutes for your turn, just to miss your attack. No. not here.
Attacks are fast and heroic, no more fiddly back & forth just to see if you even hit. No way. The overhauled combat system keeps things quick yet deeply strategic, and with exploding critical hits you can retain the chaotic excitement of battle and create some very memorable moments!

Nimble enables More Player Agency. With a flexible action economy, and deep yet simple weapon, skill, and magic systems.
