EN Publishing’s EN5ider Annual Kickstarter funds 360-page D&D hardcover

EN Publishing’s EN5ider Magazine 2025 Annual hit Kickstarter as a 360-page hardcover for Dungeons & Dragons 5.5E, and it funded almost immediately. The book compiles the first 12 issues of the relaunched EN5ider magazine into a single volume that is pitched as both a collector-friendly hardcover and a rules-heavy supplement for active tables.

The Kickstarter lists the project as EN5ider Magazine 2025 Annual by Morrus, with Morrus named as creator and Southampton, UK, as the campaign location. EN Publishing, the UK-based tabletop company that says it launched in 2001, positions the project inside its long-running Dungeons & Dragons line of 5th Edition-compatible supplements. The company’s 2026 roadmap had already flagged the annual for a May 2026 Kickstarter launch, and the campaign is now live.

For Dungeon Masters, the contents lean well beyond a simple adventure anthology. EN World says the hardcover includes 20 standalone adventures ranging from level 3 through level 12, more than 40 new monsters spanning challenge rating 1/2 through 25, and 17 puzzles meant to break up the usual combat-and-dungeon rhythm. Named creatures include the Feykin Fencer, Silent Orphan, Boneshard Stalker, Sovereign Ape, and Megamikado, giving the monster roster a mix of high-concept weirdness and table-ready variety.

Players get a substantial rules expansion, too. The book features more than 180 spells split across the new protomancy and titanomancy schools, over 30 magic items, 12 new feats, and a brand-new Protomancer class. EN World also highlights subclasses such as the Wingrinder ranger and Winterblessed sorcerer, while the item list includes the Raiment of the Devouring King, Dragonbiting Spear, and Surestep Boots. EN World says the Protomancer itself comes with its own subclasses and spells, which pushes the hardcover closer to a full class-and-options expansion than a straight adventure collection.

The annual also keeps one foot in EN Publishing’s subscription ecosystem. En5ider patrons get a discounted pledge tier, along with immediate access to a back-catalog of more than 600 PDF articles that EN World describes as thousands of pages of content. That backstory helps explain the audience here: EN5ider relaunched in 2025 as a monthly print and PDF magazine focused on D&D 2024 and 5.5 content, and this hardcover turns that steady drip of material into one book designed to land on the shelf and at the table. With PDF tiers set to be fulfilled on July 23, the campaign’s real pitch is simple: one roll gets you adventures, monsters, spells, and a new class in a single hardcover.
