Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I ran 13A organized play for a few years, and yeah the adventures are a mixed bag. Some of them were very obviously low-effort "oh poo poo we need something tomorrow" things that were just...there.

Also I'd like to point out that in all that time nobody ever multi-classed, or felt the need to.

My friend and I were getting drunk on Saturday and we both just had to talk about how 13th age is multiclassing system is absolutely terrible and hates you for even attempting it. Also, as you can tell by the fact we talk about these things at the bar, we are killer with the ladies.

In my latest campaign the orcs are a mix between Orlanthi from KODP and Jaegers from Girls Genius, working mostly as mercenaries under their princelings with the occasional raid when things get to quiet, but being dispersed all over the continent they are still a diverse bunch. One of my players is running an ex-mercenary orc that basically grogs around whenever he meets other vets. Also, the main sponsor of the party is an orcish Marco Marco and they are planning on opening a queer tavern/bar in the city they use as base of operations

13th Age multiclassing is the same as every other multiclassing system: systemic Tetris for maximization wonks and the dangerously indecisive.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Warhammer Fantasy Random Crits kick rear end when your Entertainer neuters a fight against a Rat Ogre by shattering its ribcage with a single thrown knife after you set up putting them on pretty even footing by giving the party access to makeshift molotovs to light it on fire and give them a round before its handler shows up.

I'm not joking I'm seriously pleased this happened and this went from a cool fight to "whoops we broke it, time to put it out of its misery".

Question:
Having recently re-encountered Atlas Shrugged, does there exist an rpg based on it or its world?
I´m envisioning something like pbtA-Monsterhearts with players taking the role of lead industrialists
who fight against what is basically a justified government in the downfall leading to the galtpocalypse.
It´s should be about playing high-born manchildren, is what I´m saying, so I wondered if something
like it already existed...?

Since we were all noobz once, what was the setting y'all made when you are just getting started dming that you totally thought was awesome until you realized it was crap? You know what I'm talkin about. That's setting y'all made back in high school and totally thought you were hot poo poo for doing so.

Mine was Suddera. And the only thing I can remember about it was that the Cybermen were in it with a high tech empire despite being mediveal. Also, the elves would turn their criminals into elves as punishment and Dwarves did everything. Dwarfs made the dragons, Dwarves made the Cybermen, etc. And there was a war and then the dragons and Cybermen turned on them. And I don't remember anything about the humans.

Actually, I found my old notes and I put them on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R30E5vZf499R2bfkw-kartm22WhsMiPA-xu3Fa14gaA/edit?usp=drivesdk



So what cringe-inducing setting did you make back in high school?

I don't remember any setting specifics, which were probably pretty goddamn generic anyway, but as a Rolemaster wonk from very early my teenage homebrew indiscretion was this horrific percentile horeshit full of fractional derived statistics, including a large variety of 1-100 qualitative measurements just for weapon stats.
