![]() Short combat scenarios keyed to the 13 iconic characters who rule the Dragon Empire. Battle scenes, according to the bundle age, are: This tier consists of a total of 121 battle scenes. ![]() The first tier of this bundle costs $14.95 and contains three items: This bundle does rely on the core materials that were offered in the previous bundle. Players should definitely look to pick up the first tier, though. I say ‘running’ because, as is common with these bundles, there’s a lot of material here that’s only really going to be useful to the GM. This is a really solid bundle and should be an auto-buy for anyone interesting in running a game of 13th Age. There’s some additional content in this tier, including some material from 13th Age Monthly, some first level adventures, and an exclusive campaign that is only available as part of this bundle. This is a decent book for a GM to keep handy. It’s an interesting approach where it lists themes such as ‘Archmage’, ‘Emperor’ and ‘Lich King’. Unlike a lot of equipment books, this one organises the various magic items by theme rather than function. If you’re looking for an epic dungeon delve with a nice twist, this is a good book. The living dungeon concept is one I’ve been talking about with friends recently, so it’s a cool coincidence that this bundle with this particular book should come out just now! The book is very detailed, with even small areas of the map broken down, developed and explained to the GM. it’s a sizable campaign that focuses on a living dungeon. I like the entries for the demonic Cambions, the interesting Warbanners, and the terrifying Ettercaps.Įyes of the Stone Thief really appeals to me. The book has your typical offerings like Bugbears, Hags, Ogres and the like, but also a few unique offerings. The most useful book is the 13th Age Bestiary, the Monster Manual of 13th Age. There are a couple of highlights in this tier. It is priced on a threshold which, at the time of writing, is sitting at $33.21. The second tier of this bundle is pretty big, with 7 additional items on top of what you got in the first tier. My favourite additions are the Chaos Mage (which is crazy fun) and the Necromancer. The book fleshes out the setting with information about various cities and types of monster. This book does not represent a huge departure from D&D, thematically, but it does do some interesting things – particularly in regards to making it really easy and practical to play without maps and minis by tweaking how distances are reported.ġ3 True Ways is where I think 13th Age starts to develop more of its own voice. The book is beautifully produced, with some really nice artwork throughout. ![]() Players and GMs will need a copy of this for character creation and the actual rules of the game. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.The core book is obviously the most essential item in this bundle. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. ![]() These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. ![]() Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text.
