5e Arena
5e Arena is a pit-fighting game based on the rules of the RPG that's synonymous with fantasy adventure. Choose the rank of competition, then battle against three foes back-to-back to win fame, gold, and perhaps more.
How to play
You'll need a character sheet, some dice, and an understanding of the rules of the 5th edition SRD (the ruleset used for the world's most popular tabletop RPG). If you're a newbie, you may want to play The Saint's Tomb, which is designed as a tutorial.
This game is designed to be compatible with your at-home or online campaign. You can play between sessions or (with your GM's permission) while other players are shopping, crafting, or role-playing. The game is designed for characters from level 1 to level 4, but higher-level characters could still find a challenge by playing multiple ranks without a rest. Each rank takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Features
- Keeps track of enemy rolls and abilities
- Provides gridded maps for each encounter
- Easy tracking of enemy HP
- Unique backstory for every opponent
- Opponent strategies intelligently change with context
- Mobile-friendly

Since I moved, and had no friends, this helped me alot, considering you cant play DND without friends. Thanks for being my DND gameplay/mental sanity for 1 month because I started school after. :) your doing great. How to upvote it?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. You can click on More Information on this page to rate the game or click Support this Game to give me a monetary tip. Be sure to play The Saint's Tomb and A Miner Problem as well.
I tried both, but also, when I tried a miner problem, i got softlocked, I dont know if its just me being stupid but I checked everywhere in the mines, while having picks and stuff, explored the woods for 1 real life hour and checked all the buildings, what am I missing?
Never mind, I was stupid, I failed the roll and forgot abt the path, ignore my previous comment
finally, my first actual game in D&D. really well made
This was good fun! Thanks.
I did find a typo...right at the very end "After the construct has been cleared from the feild, the present members of the Arena gather in the center of the Pit in an induction ceremony while the audience looks on from their seats." (FIELD)
Thanks!
I love your games! Thank you also for the Twine tutorial.
Honestly, I got inspired! lol writing my own now :D Thanks again
Awesome! Let me know what you make.
Really fun to run through with my former-devil pit fighter! Unfortunate that he's so callous to lowly mortals and that poor goblin's tribe will likely go hungry, haha.
All my opponents fell unconscious merely because of my overwhelming presence. I won every challenge because I pressed that button.
Thank you For all Four of these, they were a blast.
I really hope to see more like this
You're welcome! I'll be working on some updates and new stuff this summer.
This was a really fun solo adventure! I did want to let you know that the final fight of the membership challenge appears to be a bit broken as the enemy's actions aren't quite working right.
Other than that, this was a great adventure! The membership level was especially challenging and I loved it! Great work!
Thanks! I'll see what I can do to fix the issue.
Fast and fun!
is there a download
it says
"Nothing is available for download yet."
Okay, trying a different method. It should now be available to download on the main page, just scroll down from "How to Play". Once downloaded, the game is index.html
