Gate Pass Gazette
The Gate Pass Gazette is the official monthly magazine for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition. You can subscribe to it on Patreon. The content below includes mechanical elements of the magazine, but not the full text or context of the articles.
The first issue (which we called Issue #0) of the Gate Pass Gazette included the artificer class, lycanthropy rules, the construct heritage, and the jabberwock monster. We release an issue every month, including new heritages, archetypes, monsters, magic items, and much much more.
