RPX Rollup - Episode 15 - 13th Age

At first glance, Pelgrane Press's 13th Age looks like just another D20 fantasy RPG. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find a rich, uniquely crafted world that sets it apart. The Dragon Empire has risen and fallen thirteen times, leaving in its wake the scattered remains of past ages.

 Now as the 13th Age begins, powerful Icons rise to power and try to direct the fact of the Dragon Empire.

Join us as we rollup new adventurers and explore 13th Age’s unique and innovative mechanics.
