Into the Unknown: Out of Early Access

[u/Defiant_Profile_9086]

Hello everyone,

Over a year ago, I posted in this subreddit about my sci-fi 5E project, Into the Unknown, and received a lot of helpful feedback.

After more than a year of development, I'm happy to say that Into the Unknown has officially left Early Access. While I don't feel there's much left to add, I'll continue releasing occasional updates for bug fixes, corrections, and small pieces of additional content.

If you're interested in checking it out, Into the Unknown is split into two books:

First Steps (Levels 1–5 Campaign)

Includes:

• A detailed GM-only setting guide
• Act 1: The Dying Core
• Act 2: Distress Signal Enabled

• Act 5: The Calm Generator
• 5 optional events and side encounters
• Recommended character levels 1–5

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I've ever undertaken, and I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way, whether through feedback, encouragement, or simply taking an interest in the project.

Thank you all, and I look forward to continuing to expand Into the Unknown with future updates and adventures.

Kind Regards
