In the mines below Gatemark, the heroes have followed a dwharven hero from a previous Age to a portal to the Plane of Ash and Dust, which is where we pick things up with our next Random Encounter. In this Epic Tier scene, we brainstorm what players may encounter as they stride through this plane of death on their way to a showdown with the ‘big bad.’

If you want to string all these scenes together, you can listen to the past episodes here:

Episode 12: Monster Fight
Episode 18: Into the Desolates
Episode 19: Into the Tombs
Episode 21: The Mines

The setting we’re using is Ta’nar (which you can hear about in Episode 9, but this could be ported into the Dragon Empire or your own campaign world without too much difficulty.

Back in Episode 7 of last season, we talked through various ways to use the Diabolist in a campaign, and this episode, we do a similar thing as we take another close look at another Icon of the Dragon Empire: the Archmage!

However you pronounce it, he’s a magical force to be reckoned with, and we discuss how he’s portrayed in the books, some ways to align him differently, and even some campaign ideas with him as a focal point.

If you have used the Archmage in your campaign, we’d love to hear about it! Leave us a comment on who the Archmage really is!

For this week’s episode, we get together to brainstorm our first adventure of the season!  It’s an Adventurer-Tier encounter about stumbling into some Monster Fights in the town of Karrax.

Who’s organizing the Fights? To what end? What are the PCs going to do about it? We discuss various options on how to handle these sorts of questions and more!

And while we placed this in our world of Ta’nar, we also provide some insight on how or where you could alternatively use this in the Dragon Empire.

This week we discuss antagonists and how they’re different from villains. Antagonists aren’t just the ‘Big Bad Evil Guys;’ they’re the NPCs who are set alongside or against the PCs to add depth to the campaign and bring more out of the characters and your campaign world.

Why you should put effort into creating them? What makes a good antagonist? What are some things to avoid? Listen in as we give our perspective on these questions and more!

This week we welcome Benjamin Feehan onto the show to talk about his experience with the campaign idea of “‘What if there was a party of just bards that put on performances and delved dungeons to pay their bills?”

In addition to covering the ramifications of running an all-bard party, we talk about things like wrapping a campaign around a central idea or theme, necessary mechanics for doing Performances, and how one could best make use of the 13th Age system to further explore this idea.

A few of the other things Ben has worked on are the Grapple Gun Universe books, Jadepunk, and Shadowcraft: The Glamour Wars.

All good things must come to an end, and a 13th Age campaign is no exception. Whether it be because everyone hits level 10 or the party needs to disband for some reason, it’s a good idea to start thinking about how you’re going to bring your campaign to a close. In this episode we talk about some things that are good to keep in mind as you anticipate that ‘final session.’

Welcome to Season 3 of the Iconic Podcast! We are excited to announce that Becca, who has been a guest on so many of our recent shows is now an official host! Listen in as we talk about what sort of gaming we’ve been doing, what we like about 13th Age, and what we’re excited about for this upcoming season.

This week, in another Class Acts segment, we take an in-depth look at The Occultist. This class is based on the idea of someone being able to bend reality to their will, and we talk about how that’s handled mechanically, as well as a number of ways to bring that in through One Unique Things and Backgrounds. And remember, there’s only ever one in the game at a time! This is truly an Unique class!

This topic was selected by our patrons, and one had commented that he doesn’t allow the Occultist to be played at his table. When asked for clarification, this is what he responded:

I think it is related to my take on the Occultist as a “world-breaker.” I don’t mind the class if it was a one-on-one game where the Occultist plays a solo campaign with a GM. But around a table I think it would risk being a spot-light-hogging machine. Every Hero is “unique” in some way, but the Occultist is doubly so, and it’s hard to NOT build the whole campaign around that one person and make everyone else feel like side-kicks.

And the caution to not let this become a ‘spotlight-hogging machine’ is excellent advice. If you have had a player play an Occultist or have played on yourself, leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts on it!

We frequently see advice on how to be a better GM or run a better game, but we rarely see advice for the other side of the screen. Namely, how can you be a better player?

This week we ask that question and talk through the core concepts of Knowing, Being, and Seeking as ways you can improve as a player.

One of the resources we referenced was Satine Phoenix’s advice on player engagement, which you can watch here. It’s full of great tips for players and GMs to keeping the game moving.

If you want to show appreciation for your 13th Age GM, send a story of how cool they are to iconicpodcast@gmail.com, and we’ll give them a shout out on March 4th for GM Appreciation Day!

It is bound to happen sooner or later: somebody’s character dies. Whether they sacrificed themselves for their fellow adventurers, failed their saves, or received a critical hit at the wrong time, it can be a jarring experience.

This week Becca joins us again as we talk about different ways of handling character death and how 13th Age is designed to be a low-lethality game.

We talk a bit about Campaign Losses, and if you want to hear more about that, you can go back and listen to Season 1 Episode 11.

We’d love to hear your views on Character Death or perhaps one of your most memorable! Leave us a comment with your thoughts!

For this episode, we took an idea that one of our listeners, Carl, had submitted, and brought him on to talk about it. Namely, how does one set up a campaign? It’s one thing to use a published adventure for a one-shot, it’s a whole other task to weave multiple plots and subplots together into a way that’s meaningful for everyone at the table.
