Unleash the monsters in the 13th Age Bestiary on your players for a battle they’ll never forget. The 13th Age Bestiary introduces all-new creatures for the 13th Age roleplaying game, plus surprising takes on some of your favorite monsters.

In this 220-page book are:

-The macabre lich aristocrats of the Undying Peerage.

-The shadow dragon, which baits greedy adventurers with cursed treasure.

-The twygzogs, a genuinely weird new player character race of fungaloids.

-The intellect devourer, which can slip undetected into the party after eating someone’s brain…and be transformed by the experience to join the side of the heroes.

PF Module: The Dragons Demand (PFRPG)

$24.99 SRP

The village of Belhaim is nestled in rural Taldor, a minor stop on the road through the Verduran Forest between Maheto and Wispil. When an abandoned tower at the edge of the village collapses during a thunderstorm, a previously unsuspected infestation of kobolds comes to light. Unfortunately for Belhaim, the kobolds are in fact the least of their worries, for something sinister gathers power deep in the nearby expanse of Dragonfen, a swamp with a long history of draconic problems. It’s been many years since a dragon has last menaced Belhaim, but all good times must come to an end. Can the town’s newest adventurers fill the traditional role of dragonslayer and save Belhaim from the new master of the swamp?

Pathfinder Modules: The Dragon’s Demand is deluxe super-adventure for 1st-level characters, and kicks off a relaunch of Paizo’s popular Pathfinder Modules line, which now includes 64 action-packed pages of adventure and a beautiful two-sided full-color poster map with each quarterly release! Players can expect to reach 6th level by the time they complete this epic adventure-if they manage to survive!

Dragon Valley

$ 60.00 Srp

** Game Salute Select exclusive. One-page sign-up at www.gamesalute.com/selectstoresignup **

“Times are dire here around Dragon Valley. We’re fighting off waves of orc armies, goblin war machines and even the flying lizards themselves. For now the mountain pass remains secure but our scouts have reported large gatherings in the valley and we’re expecting a full scale assault before the season’s end. If that wasn’t enough to worry about, our neighbors are also preparing for war and petitioning the king for his troops and supplies which are already spread thin. It seems you’ll not only be fighting a war of steel, but one of words as well.”

Game Play:
Players take turns dividing items such as knights and archers, building materials for blacksmith shops and towers, special powers and even attackers. The attackers consist of dragons, orcs and battering rams that emerge from mountain passes into each player’s lands. After dividing, other players select the group of items they prefer and leave the remainder with the player who did the dividing. After that, players use special cards to interfere with each others plans. The last step each round is for players to setup defenses, destroy the attackers or laying siege on the orc strongholds scattered throughout Dragon Valley.
