Unearthed Arcana (5e)

Unearthed Arcana is a series of playtest material published by Wizards of the Coast on their website in the form of free PDF files. Although the content is distributed freely, it is still copyright Wizards of the Coast.

Each Unearthed Arcana document is usually between 2 and 10 pages long, relatively dense with game mechanics, and formatted with plain black text on a white background. Most of these files begin with a section emphasizing that the game mechanics are in draft form, are not refined by full game development and editing, and are not officially part of the game. Some of the content initially introduced through Unearthed Arcana has been refined and later reintroduced through official hard copy publications, such as Volo's Guide to Monsters and Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
