Pen & Paper Bullshit

In the world of Dragonia, only dragons exist! From the lowest raw scaled drakes, to the highest of elder dragons, all of Dragonia works together to understand the world, grow, and learn, usually by sending out young drakes on errands. But even the strongest of dragons must mind themselves, lest they fall into Darkness and doom Dragonia and all who live there.

This is the character creation for our Epyllion game, where everyone is dragons! Its super cute and charming!

Set after the events of episode three, this is the first fireside chat for the 13th Age crew! These are pure role playing sessions, where the players discuss things in character that happened during the previous session.

The party takes a moment to collect themselves, following the events of Aatsa and their encounter with the Ebon Gauntlet. Hugh, Apolena, and Dawn come to an agreement about the completely normal and natural human that is Hugh Manmon. Dawn and Apolena make Hugh a promise. Hugh is torn in two. Hammer and Squire gather many sticks.

The caravan finds itself stopping in the the small town of Aatsa, one of the few cities in the Dragon Empire that is not solely administered by humans; rather Aatsa was founded by chromatic dragonkin, the mortal off-spring of the extremely ancient dragons. Aatsa is celebrating the Golden Festival, a time when an envoy to Aurum Rex is chosen for some mysterious purpose; of course nothing is ever so simple, as the Ebon Gauntlet under General Aerun has become involved in the whole affair, which positively reeks of politics. Apolena must navigate these choppy waters to live up to her calling as Ambassador of Dragons, or watch her dreams for Aatsa die.

The caravan continues on towards Forge, their quest still fresh in their minds. Still, the journey to the distant dwarven capital is long, and they must stop for supplies, on occasion; one such stop is the cities of Cainbridge, a strange city broken up into lower and upper parts, each pledging their allegiance to different Icons. But what should be a simple stop to pick up supplies and sleep in normal beds turns into something much more, as they are caught in a mystery involving kidnapped children, a city on the brink of war with itself, and the mysterious Ebon Gauntlet, the elite troops of the Tyrant Emperor. Something is waking in Cainbridge.

In this episode, the investigators get straight to work: interviewing several people known by Amy. The goal is simple: establish a motive for the murder or to find evidence that'll allow them to clear Amy's name. Instead, they find themselves caught up in a web of lies, unsure of who to trust; why did Brandon have to die? What does the flaming pearl have to do with anything? Why is Amy still living? There's too many questions, and not enough answers.

Things end, for all parties involved. No lessons are learned.

A group of adventurers join a caravan headed towards the dwarven capital of Forge, each for their own mysterious reasons. What should be a simple, if long, journey turns into something much larger than any of them could've imagined. A demon exiled from Hell, a dwarf-forged of an unknown god, a broken, discarded pixie, and a raven-folk bard obsessed with dragons are all that stand between the coming storm, which will bring an end to the 13th Age, one way or another.

We decide to forgo the pre-created setting that comes with 13th Age, and instead set about creating our own, using various icons from different 13th Age source books. This is pretty much just character creation stuff, so you can skip this if you don't want to hear us talk about icons and stuff.

A group of adventurers are hired by the small town of Greenrose for a very simple quest: clear out the recently opened elvish tomb known as Ereinhaudh. Bandits under the notorious Nulthra Duskryn have set up shop in the ruins, and they've been causing some serious issues with the local traders who often stop at Greenrose on their way to bigger, more prosperous cities. Nothing easier, right?

The Knights of Columbus, the gods of a few blocks in the city of Columbus, are not exactly the most organized pantheon in Columbus (or even Ohio), and they certainly aren't the most effective, but they're who fate has chosen to save the city. Probably. Well, maybe. Okay, they're just the only ones around. With a murderous god of adventure on the loose, a kidnapped man, a dead supernatural monster, and a dragon waking up, the Knights find themselves neck deep in mystery. Will they be able to solve it or will Columbus die?
