5eFP (Five Energies Focus Practice) unites immersive, interactive tabletop roleplaying (TRPG) gameplay with self-reflection based on and inspired by the D20 fifth edition rules. Discover a new way to play TRPGs featuring easier, more intuitive rules, shorter game sessions, no GM preparation required, and larger playerbases (8-50+). The entire playerbase does not meet and play all at once. Rather, players asynchronously form parties of 3 to 5 and collectively go on adventures to complete 5eFP game objectives together. For example, all 5eFP games have the same initial objective: explore and discover the world map. A 5eFP playerbase assembles into several adventuring parties over time to fulfill this objective.

The content and game mechanics detailed within the 5eFP System Reference Document (5eFP-SRD) are presented for playtesting, feedback, and development purposes. These game mechanics are in draft form, and their inspiration and dedication rules can be used in any game, but they have not been refined through final game development. These game mechanics are subject to change as needed based on feedback provided by 5eFP contributors, Game Masters (GMs), and Player Characters (PCs).

This project needs excellent communicators who are conscientious, dedicated, flexible, focused, open-minded, and reliable. This playtest needs player characters (PCs), gamemasters (GMs), and contributors who appreciate and foster curiosity toward themselves, fellow players, and 5eFP's developing game mechanics. We are looking for any of the following skills:

Essential Skills:

• Emotional Intelligence. The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
• Social Intelligence. The ability to understand one's own and others' actions. Social intelligence is learned and develops from experience with people and learning from successes and failures in social settings. We won't learn anything if we are unwilling to risk failure.
• Curiosity. Curiosity is a high ideal worth striving toward and involves being open to understanding ourselves and others. Curiosity is a quality and virtue. It means asking questions before making conclusions, checking in with someone when we don't know what's going on for them, seeking mutual, cooperative clarity when something is unclear, and exploring miscommunications and misunderstandings with open-mindedness and as much non-attachment to outcomes as possible.
• Beginner Mind. Having an openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would.

Also Appreciated:

• Group leads. Players who are good at networking and scheduling adventures with fellow players and GMs.
• Markdown Formatting. The 5eFP SRD (source reference document) is formatted with Markdown, an easy-to-use markup language that is also simple to learn.
• 5eFP Apps. Proficiency or familiarity with Roll20 and Zoom.
• Open-source project experience. Familiarity with open-source projects, GitHub, and other related applications.
• Notetaking/short-hand skills. One PC per party must be comfortable taking on the 5eFP session's notetaker role. New game elements or developments can arise randomly during gameplay. A public record is kept, including any plot developments or revelations discovered during gameplay that have something to do with the overall story of the Enchanted Forest. Notes do not need to be elaborate. For example, an Enchanted Forest map tile might have something like the following as a note:
