In this Part 2 of our recorded live episode (you can listen to Part 1 here), we dive into a discussion of the genre that comes stock with 13th Age (high fantasy) then talk about ways to adapt that to different fantasy genres. What would need to be done to run 13th Age in a Sword and Sorcery or Low-Fantasy setting? Or what about a Science-Fantasy setting? In addition to talking about what’s defining of those genres, we talk about ways to reskin classes, what mechanics might need to be tweaked, and how the Icons might be played differently.

In this episode, we discuss one of the role-playing aspects of the GM – handling all the Non-Player Characters, or NPCs for short. We talk about the ways they outnumber the Player Characters, how to leverage 13th Age mechanics with them, converting PCs to NPCs and vice versa, and how to handle it when the PCs become hostile to NPCs.

In this episode, we continue our discussion about ways to make combat encounters more engaging by having the characters interact with more than just the baddie they’re up against. This is a continuation of the discussion started in Part 1 and Part 2. Making use of things like distance, terrain, hazards, and timers can really increase the dynamics of the gameplay!

In this episode, we take another look at one of the iconic elements of 13th Age – the characters’ One Unique Thing. We had discussed this back in Season 1 Episode 08, but now that we have a few more years of experience, it’s worth revisiting that discussion. In addition to talking about what we’ve learned along the way, we also highlight a few One Unique Things given to us by patrons and talk about how we might leverage them in a campaign.
