13^th Age

$44.95 SRP

13^th Age is the new d20-rolling fantasy roleplaying game by Jonathan Tweet and Rob Heinsoo. It’s a familiar fantasy game with spell books, Armor Class, dungeons, hit points, portals to other worlds and owlbears ripping people’s arms off. But it’s also a story-focused game where every character is unique, relationships are their most powerful resource and failure is more interesting than success.

When an abandoned tower at the edge of the village collapses during a thunderstorm, a previously unsuspected infestation of kobolds comes to light.

Can the town’s newest adventurers fill the traditional role of dragonslayer and save Belhaim from the new master of the swamp?

The Duke is the newest “abstract” game I have seen. It has a chess like feel to it – that is if chess can be a hyper squirrel doing back flips. Check it out as Matt shares his box with you.

In a few days we hope to have some sample games up for you or a tutorial. Hope you have had fun.
