- My copy of 13th Age from Pelgrane Press arrived, and I am incredibly impressed with the finished book. This is a fantasy RPG that beautifully mixes classic fantasy and indie design aesthetics for an amazing finished product that gives GMs and players alike permission to be great!
- As we eagerly await the arrival of the Alpha Strike hard copy book from Catalyst, we've decided to also try the game using BattleForce scale figures. This amounts to 1/600, or 3mm sci-fi, an area I've never dipped into, but Iron Wind offers just enough stuff to give it a go. I'll be posting pics of some painted miniatures in this scale soon. Now if only I can get someone to send me some appropriately sized hex bases! I've got several orders outstanding, so my fingers are crossed something comes this week.
- My buddy Andrew is doing a dynamite job running our store Chaos Campaign, and he's built a blog to share the love. Check it out here!
- Gen Con begins this week, and while I will not be there, the rest of the Play Unplugged team will be, so check out the site this week for interviews and other cool con content!
- For more on 13th Age straight from the lips of its two primary creators, check out this awesome interview the pair did with Forbes Magazine a few months back.
Thanks for visiting!

Finally got a firsthand look at 13th Age yesterday, phenomenal book. Pelgrane's done great work with this one. So many good ideas - if Pathfinder is D&D 3.75, 13th Age is 4.5E, drawing on all the strong points of 4E while adding its own unique flavor and rebalancing for better gameplay.
