5th edition Dungeons & Dragons

5x refers to Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition of both the 2014 and 2024 releases.

5th edition 2014Edit

Main article: 5e
 [1] 
In January 2012, Wizards of the Coast announced that a new edition of the game, at the time referred to as D&D Next, was under development.[2] In direct contrast to the previous editions of the game, D&D Next was developed partly via a public open playtest.[3] An early build of the new edition debuted at the 2012 Dungeons & Dragons Experience event to about 500 fans.[4] Public playtesting began on May 24, 2012,[5] with the final playtest packet released on September 20, 2013.[6] The 5th edition's Basic Rules, a free PDF containing complete rules for play and a subset of the player and DM content from the core rulebooks, was released on July 3, 2014.[7] The Starter Set was released on July 15, featuring a set of pre-generated characters, a set of instructions for basic play, and the adventure module Lost Mine of Phandelver.[8] The Player's Handbook was released on August 19, 2014.[9] The fifth edition Monster Manual was released on September 30, 2014.[10] The Dungeon Master's Guide was released on December 9, 2014.[11] The edition returns to having only three core rule books, with the Player’s Handbook containing most major races and classes.

5th edition 2024Edit

Main article: 5e24

On 2024-09-03, Wizards of the Coast released the 2024 D&D Free Rules, the start of the 2024 revision to the 5th edition core rulebooks release. The 2024 rules are designed to be semi-backward compatible, meaning that unless the rule is replaced, the 5e (2014) rules still apply.
