I'm treating this as a campaign summary and primer for a 13th Age game I'm hoping to start in the coming weeks. this isn't complete yet, but it's far enough along that I want to commit and push it in order to refer to it in other contexts while I finish up the rest of it

# 13th Age
|
|
|
|
This page, and the pages under it, collect a variety of campaign notes, characters, other mechanical bits, and whatever
|
|
else I end up dropping here for the 13th Age Second Edition games played by me (bss) and my players, and made
|
|
available for others to use.
|
|
|
|
## Character Creation
|
|
|
|
For general aids in creating characters follow the Creating Characters chapter starting on page 23 of the *Heroes'
|
|
Handbook* and see this section for further notes. Campaigns may have more specific instructions (inclusive or exclusive
|
|
of content), but generally speaking, my games allow all published classes, kin, class options, items, and so on
|
|
presented in or mentioned in the core books of *13th Age Second Edition* and *13 True Ways*, including stuff in Appendix
|
|
A. A good list to use is:
|
|
|
|
* *13th Age Second Edition: Heroes' Handbook*
|
|
* *13 True Ways*
|
|
* *13th Age Glorantha*
|
|
* *Shards of the Broken Sky*
|
|
* *13th Age Bestiary*
|
|
* *Book of Ages*
|
|
* *Shades of Fey*
|
|
|
|
Additional content (from other supplements, homebrew stuff on the web, your own homebrew stuff, etc.) should be
|
|
presented to me, and it'll likely be approved.
|
|
|
|
This usually doesn't matter for character creation, but I'll pull from all of Pelgrane Press's publications for
|
|
monsters, items, artifacts, and so on. All of this "primary content" is pretty much assumed to be good.
|
|
|
|
### Classes, Kin, and Ability Scores
|
|
|
|
Nothing of note here, really; official classes are automatically allowed, other homebrew might be; classes are the most
|
|
complicated, so they will be the most work to review. But, in the end, just ask --- and also do so if you want general
|
|
advice, or if the book says you should talk to your GM first. Ditto for kin, but it's easier to homebrew (and review) a
|
|
kin idea than a class idea.
|
|
|
|
For ability scores, the standard arrays (HH: 24) are great, but I'm good with the options in Appendix A (HH: 316) as
|
|
well; "roll four" seems especially fun if what you want is a mix of competency and chaos.
|
|
|
|
### One Unique Things
|
|
|
|
There's a lot of good advice in the Unique Heroes (HH: 201) chapter, follow it to come up with a *unique* that you can
|
|
really work with throughout the game. I do not mind if you choose to play for a bit before landing on a *unique*. I'd
|
|
rather have something you're jazzed about than something you came up with just to have the box filled in before the
|
|
first session.
|
|
|
|
### Icons
|
|
|
|
The campaign page you are coming from will describe the icons and if they differ from those in the core book at all.
|
|
|
|
### Everything Else
|
|
|
|
Follow the book and ask questions, basically!
|
|
|
|
## House Rules and Content
|
|
|
|
I don't consider myself much of a game designer, but nonetheless I have added
|
|
some house rules and items and so on to the game. I will try to catalog them here, just in the
|
|
event I reuse them or they are useful to someone else.
|
|
|
|
* [Items](items)
|
|
|
|
## Campaigns
|
|
|
|
The following campaigns organized on this site are being run in 13th Age. Refer to them to learn more about their
|
|
stories, though the information here may lag reality, at the speed of getting session notes written up and reflected on
|
|
the site.
|
|
|
|
* [Age of Parted Shadow](../parted-shadow/index.md)
|
|
|
|
## Legacy Stuff
|
|
|
|
### Characters
|
|
|
|
Characters I've made for other campaigns:
|
|
|
|
* [Valon Amarathar](valon-amarathar) — for Alex's campaign, Seven Rings
|
|
|
|
### Former Campaigns
|
|
|
|
The following campaigns are shelved at the moment, but may return in some form:
|
|
|
|
* [Clouds and Chimeras](clouds-and-chimeras/)
|
|
* [Crimson](crimson/)
|
|
* [Verdant Dawn](verdant-dawn/)
|
|
|
|
Currently-lost campaigns, before I started organizing things here, that nevertheless influenced it, or at least me:
|
|
|
|
* Sins of the Past, a time- and dimension-spanning Shadowrun-y 13th Age game that eventually became
|
|
traditional fantasy anyway
|
|
* Shards of Jade II, an especially off the rails adventurer mischief sandbox
|
|
|
|
### House Rules
|
|
|
|
These were fine... for 1e.
|
|
|
|
* [bss's Toughness](bss's-toughness)
|
|
* [Influence Points](influence-points)
