It took a while to finally get this game to the table, but I'm glad I did! It played fast and was a lot of fun for everyone involved. There's enough meat in the ruleset that I feel comfortable GMing it and for my players to know what they'd like to do as well. I can see the game only getting better with time :)

Great book with excellent content that is well worth anyone's time if they're keen on expanding their 13th Age portfolio!

As a relative newcomer to 13th Age I admit that I didn't really know what to expect from this book going in. The variant rules a mixed assortment of things that tickle my fancy (Icon as Backgrounds and stat bumps per level) and those I'll need to give a try because they're a bit out there (Plushie Rule, Random Stat Generation). Overall these changes are all quite minor and will probably help to freshen up existing or long-running campaigns which is something I don't have the luxury of enjoying quite yet :)

The races are flavorful (I really like the Starchild, Sternenkind in German is quite a pretty name) and plentiful. Some have already existing attempts but nothing quite as "official" as this third party supplement (ratkin, orcs). Overall I would use these races as a default, but like with anything in 13th Age you shouldn't discount other racial choices just because it's so hard to get them wrong :)

New class choices are restricted to all of the official classes so no new Abomination or Swordmage perks which is a shame, but considering the 200+ page span of this book I think that can be forgiven. It expands on the very "simple" classes such as Barbarian and Ranger without altering their complexity too much which is great. Simple classes stay simple, but still have more choice afforded to them. So far I've created characters with the new Barbarian, Druid and Ranger options. The druid especially is quite a radical departure from the version presented in 13th Age, but the author does a good job of trying to bridge the gap between his changes and the original version.

Overall, this book has a TON of content that I'm happy to recommend. The rules and races are a cherry on top of the myriad of new class options and the author is also more than happy to chat about design and playtesting in the discord server.

At first I didn't know what to expect from a $2.50 adventure, but I'm blown away by the content it offers. It's well-organized, the fluff text is kept at a minimum without becoming a slog to read, the NPCs are detailed enough to work with but not restrictive, the story is just plain FUN! and the consequences are potentially far-reaching with enough included to continue and build a mini-campaign out of it.

The only criticism I have is that it references some tables from the LFG system for loot, but presents its own treasure table in case you don't have it. Overall this adventure gets a solid 5 out of 5 from me, I'm very happy with it!
