13th Age Monthly Volume 1

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A collection of 4000+ word PDF supplements for the 13th Age RPG, with new rules systems, 13th Age Bestiary-style monsters, player character options, and more – gathered together for the first time, so you don’t have to wait to get get them all.

13th Age Monthly is overseen and developed by Rob Heinsoo, with a stellar list of contributors that includes Jonathan Tweet, Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan (The Book of Loot, Eyes of the Stone Thief), ASH LAW (Tales of the 13th Age) and Cal Moore (Shadows of Eldolan).

13th Age Monthly – Volume 1 includes the following PDFs:

Installments

  • Dragon Riding, by Rob Heinsoo & ASH LAW. The lethal combination of dragon and rider helped create the Dragon Empire. Now unleash the fury on your foes! Full rules for player character dragon riders appear alongside story advice for campaigns looking to add dragon-riding options. Plus, we’ve made it easy to hack the system so you can devise other styles of riding. (Anyone up for tarrasque racing?)
  • Temples of the Frogfolk, by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan. The perfect gift for the player in your group who has been waiting to portray a jumpy murderous amphibian. Evil frogspawn lurk just below the threat threshold. Then the chants echo through the mist, the temples surface, and suddenly you’re dead. This installment includes five froggish monsters with four racial abilities to choose from, thirteen reasons to be paranoid, toadstone treasures, five icon-related frogfolk temples, and race stats and special abilities for playing a frogfolk adventurer.
  • Candles, Clay & Dancing Shoes, by ASH LAW. Your PC has gold to burn? Spend it on something that could make everyone’s lives more interesting—especially the GM! Here are six new useful, bizarre, and effective one-use magic items, festooned with multiple adventure hooks and campaign variants. Is that dwarf wearing a featherlight skirt beneath his kilt? If you fire an exorcist missile at a dybbuk at twilight, which one of you screams first? What happens to your spell list if you drink too much gnomish tinto wine (secret ingredient: grave dust)? Answers to these and 75 other magic-item related questions, yours for one low monthly price!
  • Children of the Icons, by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan. “I’m the child of an icon.” This One Unique Thing taps into one of fantasy’s most powerful archetypes — and generates a huge amount of player investment in the campaign. Here, players will find inspiration and advice on how this deep connection can play out at the table. For GMs, Gareth presents four possible “children of the icons” campaigns along with two tough monsters that show how iconic parentage can be used to create interesting NPCs.
  • Bonus: Make Your Own Luck, the Free RPG Day starting adventure.
  • Eidolons, by ASH LAW. These bizarre, other-dimensional creatures present themselves as aspects of mortal concepts — meanwhile twisting reality into shapes that have nothing to do with mortal concepts. This comprehensive 13th Age Bestiary-style monster writeup is a gift to GMs who don’t mind shaking the tree until walruses and new philosophies fall out.
  • Summoning Spells, by Rob Heinsoo. 13 True Ways introduced druids and necromancers as the first summoning spellcasters. Now this installment of the Monthly adds summoning spells to the wizard’s spellbook and the cleric’s prayer-roster! Includes rules for various summoning styles, stats for summoned creatures, and variants for campaigns with different flavors.
  • Sharpe Initiatives: Earthgouger, by Cal Moore. A thrillride of an adventure for 3rd or 4th level heroes, designed to be played in one or two sessions. If you play Robin D. Laws’ The Strangling Sea at first level you can use Sharpe Initiatives as a callback to events earlier in the PCs’ careers; but this adventure is designed to bulldoze itself into any campaign in which dwarves aspire to re-engineer the broken underworld.
  • Bonus:At Land’s Edge / The Harker Instrusion, the Free RPG Day release which features both 13th Age and Night’s Black Agents content.
  • 7 Icon Campaign, by Jonathan Tweet & Rob Heinsoo. Start with a thought experiment: What would happen if we compressed the 13 icons into 7? Build on GM notes and player questionnaires from Jonathan’s 7-icon home campaign. Polish to a dangerous sheen with six new feats, spells, and talents inspired by the stories of the ‘new’ icons and usable in any 13th Age game.
  • Kroma Dragonics, by Cal Moore & Rob Heinsoo. Start with anthropology fieldwork among the redscale barbarians of the Red Wastes. No, cancel that: the redscale dragonics ate the researchers. Restart with a dig into the myths and aspirations of dragonics influenced by chromatic dragons and the Three. The dig is dicey, but we expect to find monster stats, hierarchy options, adventure hooks, and player character options including feats, talents, and maneuvers.
  • Echo & Gauntlet, by Michael E. Shea & Rob Heinsoo. Start with a nasty magical strike force that works for the Crusader. Continue in a supernatural landscape that speeds their magic. Finish with campaign hooks, the implications of a ruined world that exists alongside the world, and a possible origin story for the Crusader.
  • The Waking Stones, by Lynne Hardy. A megalith is just a set of standing stones—unless they’re actually members of an ancient stone race, reawakening in the 13th age! This full 13th Age Bestiary-style writeup has heroic, ambiguous, and villainous options that should fit into most any campaign.
  • Home Bases, by Steven Warzeha & Rob Heinsoo. Simple new mechanics for player characters who want a castle, tavern, sacred grove to call home and build stories around. Includes rules for the obligations that can make or break your base, examples to suit many different campaigns, and new magic items  for characters who want to put down roots.

The current subscription is 13th Age Monthly Volume 2.

I think there might be a error ether with the file or the listing. As purchasing it only gives access to Make Your Own Luck, so buyers beware! Ill post a follow up if any thing changes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. 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. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. 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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
