We’ve been so relieved and excited that the Yellow King RPG is finally available to non-Kickstarter backers that it’s still dominating our thinking here in the Pelgrane’s Nest, even to the extent of adding a new YKRPG product (the basic Shock & Injury decks) to our webstore. However, don’t let that distract you from the big news this month, which is the Book of the Underworld, our latest release to cover a fascinating part of the 13th Age‘s Dragon Empire.
