“Chronomancer” can refer to several tabletop role-playing books, not one video game or one universal rules source. If you mean Charke Publishing’s Chronomancer: Time Travel for Everyone, the publisher lists it for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition, with an original 2008 edition and a 2025 revision. A separate AD&D book and Mongoose Publishing’s Encyclopaedia Arcane: Chronomancy are different products.
Which Chronomancer book is this?
Start with the full title, publisher and game edition before relying on a class, spell or purchase listing. The shared name does not mean these books are interchangeable.

| Product | Game context | What the available source establishes |
|---|---|---|
| Chronomancer: Time Travel for Everyone, Charke Publishing | D&D 3.5 Edition | The publisher describes time-travel campaign material, classes, feats, monsters, magic items, spells and advice for running different forms of time. It lists an original edition and a 2025 revision. Charke Publishing product page. |
| Chronomancer, the AD&D accessory | AD&D | A preview presents chronomancers as wizards who manipulate temporal forces and divides material for players and Dungeon Masters. It is not an edition of Charke’s book. AD&D preview and product page. |
| Encyclopaedia Arcane: Chronomancy, Mongoose Publishing | A separate role-playing product | Mongoose lists it as an ebook; it is a distinct title, not another edition of either book above. Mongoose Publishing product page. |
What is in Charke’s D&D 3.5 book?
Charke Publishing describes Chronomancer: Time Travel for Everyone as a sourcebook for time-travel campaigns. Its product page lists 7 character classes, 22 prestige classes, 25 epic classes, 50 feats and more than 100 time-related spells. Those figures are the publisher’s description, not an independent review or rules audit. Charke Publishing.
The publisher’s current description gives the 2025 revision as 327 pages, while its historical/original description says the original 2008 book is 329 pages. Treat those counts as edition-specific; the page does not establish one universal count for every format or listing. Charke says the revision has a new layout and AI art, and labels the original “Original 2008 Non-AI Edition.” Check the specific retailer listing to confirm the file or print format being offered.

Original 2008 edition, 2025 revision and 5th Edition status
Original and revised 3.5 editions
Charke says the original book was released in 2008 and was inspired by the 1995 AD&D Chronomancer accessory. The 2025 revision is still listed as a D&D 3.5 Edition product; the revision date does not make it a 5th Edition rules book. The publisher identifies the revised layout and AI art, but buyers should check the individual listing for the format and edition before purchasing. Charke Publishing.
Possible 5th Edition version
Charke’s page says it is working on a 5th Edition version, but gives no release date. That is a publisher-stated development status, not confirmation that a 5e book is available. Recheck the publisher’s page for current status rather than treating a similarly named preview elsewhere as proof of release. Charke Publishing.

How to choose the right book
- Check the system and edition. Charke’s Time Travel for Everyone is listed for D&D 3.5; the older Chronomancer is an AD&D accessory.
- Match the intended use. Charke describes campaign time-travel material and rules options. The AD&D preview explicitly separates player and Dungeon Master material.
- Confirm publisher and full title. Mongoose’s Encyclopaedia Arcane: Chronomancy is a separate product.
- Verify edition and format at checkout. Charke links to DriveThruRPG, but that link alone does not establish current stock, price or whether a particular listing is digital or print. Charke Publishing.
Where to find Charke’s book
Charke Publishing links its product page to DriveThruRPG. The page establishes that retailer as a purchase destination, but availability, price and format can change; use the live listing to confirm those details. The evidence here does not establish an Amazon listing. Charke Publishing.
