Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned.

ReplyDeleteAnd that did really suck. Ran two, walked one.
ReplyDeleteIn that order?
ReplyDeleteIt was warm up walk, run one, walk a bit, run half a mile, walk a bit, run half a mile, walk it off.
ReplyDeleteGood work. How long did it take?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I only timed my first mile. Which was 9:30. I ran 8:14 my first mile today. No idea how that happened.
