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.
A balanced encounter isn't a 20th-level wizard against a group of 5th-level PCs, that's for sure.

ReplyDeletea waste of time
ReplyDeleteGiving the players a fighting cha -- HAHAHA ... I can't say it with a straight face.
ReplyDeleteGiven that my various groups routinely walk away from encounters with new recruits, allies, and henchbeasts... eh. Subverting balance and disrupting the normal resolution of conventional combat is one of my favorite things.
