Announcing: THE OVERWORLD AND BEYOND
Kickstarting Soon for 13th Age. A collection of adventures by Ash Law.
Take your 13th Age campaign to the planes!
Visit the City at the Edge of Dawn.
Where the Psychedelic Ocean trips into the Waterfall of Eternity lies the City at the Edge of Dawn, known to various cultures throughout the many worlds as the City of Portals, the Eternal City, The Wheel of Angels, the One True City, and many other names—to its inhabitants it is simply ‘the City’. On wide streets and narrow alleyways demons, demigods and dragons rub shoulders with heroes and villains from a hundred worlds. Here you can find every architectural style real or imagined, and anything you dream or dread can be found in its sprawling markets.
(Everything subject to change prior to publication.)

An epic Numenera adventure for all tiers. Deep underground, under The Sun Below, your PCs find themselves in a city about to tear itself to pieces. Can they rescue innocents and bring them back to the surface? Or will they perish in a world known to only a few?
The iron wind turned a solid cliff face into a giant face. Don't worry, everything is safe.
Map Preview: That's How the Light Gets In
Here's a sneak peak at a map from our upcoming Numenera adventure, The Sun Below: That's How the Light Gets In. Each colored section of this craft exists in a separate dimension. When your players cross a portal, which dimension will they go to?
How will your players get aboard this transdimensional craft? Fight their way on? Sneak on? Or talk their way on as if they owned the place?

Travel the Planes with Ash Law
Good News Everyone!
Ash Law is going to write a group of related 13th Age Roleplaying game adventures that include planar travel! This is going to Epic.
You probably know Ash from the Midgard Bestiary (13th Age Compatible), Deep Magic (13th Age Compatible), 13th Age: The Archmage's Orrery, 13th Age Bestiary, Lions & Tigers & Owlbears: The 13th Age Bestiary 2, and so many more.
It's early days yet (we don't even have a name!), but this be will at least 25,000 words of breathtaking adventure. It will be one book with at least two different adventures (one champion, one epic). There will be a new area to set your own adventures in.
We're going to do all that. But wouldn't more be better? We thought so too, so in April 2018, we'll do a Kickstarter to see if we can add more adventure, more art, more monsters, and more excitement.
And take your players to another plane.
OrcaCon 2018!
If you are going to OrcaCon, come find me!
I'll be running a few games (most of which are full, but someone always drops out at the last minute). Maybe they'll let me add another one?
Are you running or playing in a game? Let me know!
And if you're looking to playtest or are a freelancer, let's talk. (And if you don't live near Bellevue, Washington, use Contact Us to, erm, contact us.)

Gelatinous Dragon
Gelatinous Dragon
Here's some art from the Gods and Icons Upgrade Pack, for the 13th Age Roleplaying Game. I was going to add a gelatinous owlbear, which seems so 13th Age, but I worried the fine folks at Fire Opal might do the same and then think of the confusion. ;)
This is obviously the huge version of the gelatinous dragon, but don't worry, we have the stats for a large one as well.
21 new monsters make the Gods and Icons Upgrade pack the mini-bestiary you need now!

Gods and Icons Upgrade Pack
We're hammering out the final sections of the Gods and Icons Upgrade pack, a 13th Age roleplaying game supplement that adds to Gods and Icons. So what's in it?
Art
We have new art for the gods, great for showing your players or helping you with descriptions.
- We have three pantheon symbols, one for each pantheon
- Three new images per pantheon
- Bright Gods: The Path of Earth, The Path of Heaven, and Perikalo
- Thirsty Gods: Balamet, Chazda, and Ixtaa
- Old Gods: Delkrey, The Lords, and Tullet
We also have new creature art for the bestiary (below).
Saints
A short list of saints from all the pantheons. Great for picking names of shrines, NPCs, and bars. St. Schmavic is the patron saint of bars for the Old Gods.
Bestiary
New creatures, most with strong connections to the gods. This is the biggest section of The Gods and Icons Upgrade Pack. A great selection of creatures from level 1 to 12.
Status
We're revising it now, and it will soon go to editorial, then layout, then ship.
Format
This will be a PDF.
