13th Age rule set released (Beta)

[dulux-oz]

Its close, very close... maybe not close enough to smell, but almost there...

Oh, I don't know - there might be a whiff in the air...

[Matchstick]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this!

*sniff* *sniff*..... What's that I smell? ????

Any update on something like this taking flight?

Its coming along - its only being worked on part-time and its a big job getting the Ruleset AND the Bestiary and CoreRules Modules done, but it is progressing.

We are keenly aware how anticipated this is and how much people want it - but its written in a more "free-flowing" way than ant of the WotC stuff which requires more work to "get it right".

So, no ETA yet (for the same reasons SW don't give an ETA on FGU) but it is progressing.

It will be a free ruleset or a paid one? If it is the second, how much it will cost?

Considering its licensed content it'll be a paid Ruleset (like C&C, CoC and Savage Worlds).

As to how much, that's up to Smite Works, the publishers of 13th Age and others to decide - I'm just the hired hand getting paid to do the grunt work

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves - we've got to get the thing done, first!

I would easily pay up front or Kickstart this. I'm holding my next 13th Age campaign due to this.

Update: starting my new campaign today, unfortunately on Roll20. I'd easily buy the Ultimate upgrade if 13th age module was available.

I am also interested in a 13th age ruleset! So, I am happy to read the news. I also hope that there will be a discount for us that have bought the books but even if not, that's ok. I am super excited to have (only recently) bought FG Future looks promising!

Before anyone gets too excited, we've got a small announcement to make.

We're putting out feelers for two or three gaming groups who might - that's might - be interested in doing some early beta-testing on the 13th Age Ruleset. This would be to help us locate any hidden bugs and to see about the "playability" of the Ruleset. Note that this would not be suitable for a real "live" campaign but would be OK for a couple of one-offs or even maybe a short "mini-series" - but expect things to break. In other words, this truly would be an early beta-test, not a pre-release, so your expectations would need to be set accordingly.

For everybody else, yes, you can read this as a further announcement of our progress and that we're getting very close to having this ready for general release.

We only want a couple of GMs and their players, and we would prefer those who we know and who have some past experience with FG and testing. This is not to say that we don't value others, its just that we still need to keep this close until we're more ready for general release to the FG Store.

So, if you think you fit the bill for the type of person we're looking for please get in touch - we'll evaluate the list of those who are interested and move forward on getting the 13th Age Ruleset and a couple of the Source Books (as Modules) released as fast as we can, before moving on to some of the others.

Cheers

Hey Dulux,
I'd love to put myself forth to test this. I have a regular group of players that I play multiple games and systems each weekend, and regularly test various Test versions for FG so we are well used to stress testing things and trying to get things to break.
I also have a large range of 13th age books and supplements that I'd love another reason to crack open again!
Happy to send you an email with any more details you need, but consider this my expression of interest.
Cheers,
