We’ve just learned that 13th Age will be featured on the cover of Kobold Quarterly’s big summer issue, coming out in mid-July! Kobold-in-Chief Wolfgang Baur was interested in previewing 13th Age, and asked us for something crunchy and useful that his readers could bring to the table right away.

She likes her victims screaming and her chaos pure while claiming that the demons she summons would otherwise overwhelm the Great Gold Wyrm who seals the Abyss. There are two differences between her and her demons: First, she likes keeping destruction personal rather than […]
“The Emperor rules the world’s greatest human kingdom, known as the Dragon Empire for the mounts of its mightiest warriors. All the signs suggest that the age is turning, but will the Empire fall or shift to a new balance?” –From the 13th Age icon teaser description. The final illustration of the Emperor digitally painted by […]
“The Priestess hears all the Gods of Light and speaks for those who please her. She is part oracle, part mystic, and part metaphysical engineer, since she created the Cathedral, an ever-expanding temple with rooms or entire wings for each of the faiths she favors.” –From the 13th Age icon teaser description.
