Rob doesn't have an auto-reply confirmation set up, so you'll most likely get an email when the first playtest packet is close to ready.

Rob Heinsoo has started posting details about the new edition on his personal blog, expanding on the items in that Gen Con flyer list.

I started using the icon mechanics Rob Heinsoo said he was experimenting with in his home game, and which seem to have inspired the 13th Age Glorantha rune mechanics: Players roll their characters' icon relationships at the beginning of each session. On a result of a 5 or a 6 they get an icon...

As a fan of Apocalypse Now and this game, I'm going to say yes. There's rules for military hardware, drugs and drug addiction, and several ways a character can disintegrate psychologically: breaking the bonds that keep them tethered to the normal, sane world, coming apart in the moment (losing...

You'll be interested in 13th Age Glorantha, then! The convention adventures are drawn from 13th Age organized play, which will definitely continue once the current season is wrapped up. Kobold Press recently published my convention adventure The Wreck of Volund's Glory, which some of you might...

Did you see Rob Heinsoo's blog post (the first of several planned) talking about what 13G will add to the game for non-Glorantha campaigns? He shared a bit about the Earth Priestess class, and powers that are tied to icon relationships.

Simon Rogers just confirmed it via @13thAge on Twitter. Such great news.

Once Cat got back from Origins she went full owlbear on getting a status report from the printer, and found out what's been going on. Contrary to Pelgrane's instructions, they didn't send the books out to Pelgrane's warehouses in early June. Now that this misunderstanding been cleared up, the...

Yep! As of June 6 the layout was halfway done. If you follow 13th Age on Twitter and G+, I post links whenever there's news.

In the April Page XX, Simon announced that it was at the printers and on track for a mid-June release. Once a book is at the printer there's not going to be much news unless something goes horribly wrong.

For backgrounds, here's some helpful reading: Is “good at everything” a background in 13th Age? Why being a Magical Bird Turned Into An Elf is as mechanically robust as being Literally Batman

Yep, treat them as monsters -- either reskin an existing monster and its abilities, or build it from scratch. I highly, highly recommend reading the Monster Creation chapter of the 13th Age Bestiary, which walks you through the creation of an evil fire wizard.

Here's a potential take on roleplaying the 13th Age cleric, arrived at by watching the cleric in the campaign I run: When you choose to play a cleric, you're stepping into the role of someone with responsibilities to others: to a god (or gods), a religion, and -- as The Guy Who Buffs and Heals...
