Coin Tricks

How can we make those monster-guarded piles of coins more interesting…?

There are few things a sword-and-spell-slinging adventurer loves more than a full coin purse — so why not take advantage of it? Coin Tricks by Rob Heinsoo and Lynne Hardy turns the one thing that all PCs will literally die to obtain into a rich source of plot hooks and monsters. It includes:

• Coin zombies, who make up for their slowness by using adventurers’ greed to ensnare them.
• Coins found in living dungeons that appear to be from alternate versions of the Empire.
• Ghoul-stamped coins, the mutilated currency of the undead.
• Rules for Tower Thump, the dwarves’ favorite coin-based drinking game.
• Normal-seeming gold coins that are also bat-winged demons devoted to chaos and destruction.

Coin Tricks is the fourth installment of the second 13th Age Monthly subscription. You can buy it as a stand-alone PDF, or purchase the collected Volume 2 to get all 12 issues plus the 2016 Free RPG Day adventure Swords Against the Dead!
