Most RPGs cite D&D as inspiration, but few directly adapt its rules. In videogames, D&D’s dice rolls, spell slots, and long rests can feel restrictive. Even Baldur’s Gate III tries to make D&D more userfriendly, while indie RPG Solasta wears the 5e ruleset as a badge of honor, warts and all.

While it may forever lurk in the shadow of Baldur’s Gate III, its crunchy, dice-heavy combat is just what I want in a lean adaptation of the tabletop RPG. Solasta adapts the 5e rules via the Open Gaming License, which doesn’t include the D&D worlds or trademark creatures. We won’t be adventuring along the Sword Coast and battling beholders, but we will be creating a custom party of four heroes using familiar races and classes like fighter, rogue, and cleric.
