At Pelgrane Press, all of our freelancers and associates are assigned a codename*, usually one they don’t like, then we can blackmail them into doing stuff we want in return for changing this alias. Some of the codenames we have already are Arctic Moose, Wikipizza, the Hindmost, Tiddles, Ginger Diva and Gerald the Gorilla. If […]
Devil of the Fangs: “When the Blessed Emperor pacified the Midland Sea, most of the terrible giants of the deeps swam out into the Iron Sea. But some of the great krakens moved onto land. They converted their deep magic into river magic and became the river devils, armored squid-like monstrosities capable of heaving themselves from […]

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 […]

I really like that, so I’ve come up with some decent rules of thumb for what could happen when a […]
Although I’ve been helping publicize 13th Age almost since the first playtest was announced, it wasn’t until PAX that I got to experience the game as a player rather than a GM. I was fortunate enough to have Rob Heinsoo as GM, and the experience opened my eyes about why 13th Age is the game […]

Drama, on the other hand, leads its protagonists inexorably to the results of their actions.
