by Ash Law A plus one Dwarven hammer is just a plus one Dwarven hammer, right? Not in 13th Age. The new game from the minds that bought you 3rd Edition D&D and 4th Edition D&D (not to mention games such as Dreamblade, Everway, Feng Shui, Over The Edge, etc) treats each magical weapon as […]
by Bedlamdan Rob Heinsoo mentioned in an interview that, should an Icon relationship roll fail in 13th Age, he’s introduced an optional rule where another Icon somehow interferes with the roll by using a d12. I really like that, so I’ve come up with some decent rules of thumb for what could happen when a […]
by Robin D Laws In the adventure genre, we expect characters to flirt with consequence, but then to stage a hair’s-breadth escape.

We had a lot of people collect their pre-orders at GenCon so when I have that list, which should be this week, Night’s Black Agents will be sent to all agents. The estimated ship date […]
Pookie over at Reviews from R’lyeh has written a detailed and positive review of Adam Gauntlett’s 1760s scenario, Hell Fire. You can read the full review here. Hell Fire does a good job of bringing Lovecraftian investigation to an interesting period of history, whilst the period itself brings a sense of Hogarthian horror to Lovecraftian […]
There is a fantastic review of the newest Ashen Stars adventure, Tartarus, from kafka over at RPG.Net. He has given 4 for Substance and 5 for Style. You can read the full review here. The secret is to keep players ignorant, as this adventure is a blatant rip of major Hollywood summer blockbuster. Although, as […]
