I love 13th Age except for one thing: The designers make Gygax look capable of hitting deadlines by comparison. Everything takes forever with 13th Age.

I saved the page and it continued to work.

There is a character generator floating around as a page on website. It might even be the archive.org version of the WotC page.

While it's normal to blame capitalism, and to disingenuously refer to it as "late stage", but the real issue is fake capitalism - capitalism is the free exchange of goods and services with consequences and competition. "Late stage capitalism" is wrong; "not capitalism" is correct, or even the...

I started in 1981 when I was 12. I thought it was illogical then. That was a common opinion among my fellow D&D nerds.

And thieves had the worst saving throws, even allowing for their faster level gain, including for dodging out of the way of an attack. Illogical (ie, Gygaxian) design.

True. 1E. 2E. 3E. 3.5E. 4E. 13th Age. 4E again. 5E. Back to 4E. Prepping PF2E.

Not yet. But I really, really, REALLY want to run a game set in Dragonstar before I die.

No particular order: 1. Pocket editions. Love 'em. 2. Archives of Nethys. Free and legal? Outstanding. 3. Pathbuilder. 4. Other free and legal online tools. 5. The designers actually designed a game around balance and teamwork. 6. Monster building and encounter building tools that actually work.

Love your corporate structure work. It's always fascinating to see other models in action. Shield Maidens looks conceptually brilliant. Cannot wait to see the execution.

Caverns of Thracia by Paul Jaquays. The gold standard of dungeons - history, layout, factions; it's all there. Faiths & Avatars for the Forgotten Realms. Finally, a stake in the heart of bad design which was generic clerics.

Everything is an aboleth plot. Seriously.

It would have made more sense as an expedition to a layer of the Abyss - such as the Barrens of Oublivae (4E reference). Hell is not the place for the chaos needed to make this adventure work.

Golarion = Paizo's world. Glorantha = RuneQuest's world. *** I'm glad I'm a Paizo fan, rather than a WotC fan. I have a lot of content for the weekend!

Loved his Oathbound setting. Ran two campaigns there. Hope to return one day.

It reminds me of when Mongoose utterly botched the first d20 version of Conan. I've never trusted Mongoose since.

This is an amazing resource: Thank you!

Good to see another 13G fan. Similarly, I'm going to see what I can steal from this for a future 13G game.

Why are so many articles garbage? It's not just D&D articles. PS: This question of mine is rhetorical. It's all about the clickbait.

C'mon, Talien, you have to move past motherhood statements and exaggeration. There is a genuine story to tell.
