13th Age character class – the Witch

The Witch by Christopher J. Ferguson OVERVIEW Mortals reach out to their gods through faith.  But faith has a darker underside.  Those who do not find succor through the established temples may turn to priestesses and priests who work outside the church hierarchy.  These witches, as they are often called, are an alternate channel to […]

How Will The TimeWatch Kickstarter Went

The Future Us Knew TimeWatch WOULD Be Successful… …but apparently to avoid any paradox or chronal instability, we failed to tell our current selves exactly the extent to which that would be true.
