13th Age 13th Age 2E update!

[Distracted DM]

13A 1e was a great system. What stands out to you @Zaukrie ? I haven't looked at the PDFs yet, honestly I'm not likely to for a while.

I don't think I ever read version one in detail. So it all seems kind of new to me.

Update: June 25th, 2025​

Books are with the printer; change-list coming; class-specific character sheets
The Heroes' Handbook, the Gamemaster's Guide, and the 13th Age Art Book are all with the printer. We're in the indefinite phase where the printer mentions technical details that mightnot cause a problem but that will definitely not cause a problem if we fix them, so files are going back and forth every day.

We haven't compiled the two books into a single big and fully cross-linked PDF yet, but when that's done we'll be sharing this actually-final version of the PDF. There were plenty of corrections from the earlier versions we sent to backers, so yes, you'll want the actual finals.

Two other things we're working on now seem worth mentioning: the change-log and the new character sheets.

I've been typing up a chapter-by-chapter summary of important changes from 1E. The first place we'll present the list is here, as another update. This change-log is probably not going to address all the shifts between the various playtest versions. On the other hand, if there are big playtest changes that got rolled entirely away but were not replaced with anything new, I'll try to address that. I bet ya'll will have comments on changes I miss.

For the class-specific character sheets, Miguel and I met for a couple hours today going over the plans for each class. I don't think we'll have them done in time to accompany the PDFs, but you'll see progress on this front soon.

With all these plans in progress, you'll hear from me with another update next week.

I'm waiting for this one to reach local stores. I didn't pledge.

It's wonderful to hear the news. I am a huge fan of the game, and managed to play a session with Jonathan and Rob. Great people. And I just hope that the game doesn't get lost if the shuffle of all the big releases coming out this year. This is one project that I backed for the PDFs and the books to show support.

 

[Zaukrie]

I like so much of this. Hoping to play it this time, unlike 1e.

I am really looking forward to this. Backed PDF and print.
