The rest of that writeup takes a specific approach in detail, but the sketches are there at the start in case you want to take it a different direction. 13th Age is big on emphasizing GM empowerment, to the point of including notes from the authors where they discuss their disagreements about approach, to help the GM think about alternatives.<br /><br />Thanks for the pointer to the Skaven in Warhammer. I look forward to reading about them.Rick Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707062453047354335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-7316037075916220692017-03-04T21:10:57.593-08:002017-03-04T21:10:57.593-08:00the parts of that which aren't just ripped fro...the parts of that which aren't just ripped from the Skaven in Warhammer seem pretty underdeveloped. so far 13th hasnt blown me awayZak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-81401569535958678062017-03-04T21:06:29.520-08:002017-03-04T21:06:29.520-08:0013th Age, like your blog, is big on suggesting sto...13th Age, like your blog, is big on suggesting story-driven possibilities but letting you pick what you want to do. The writeup is in 13th Age Monthly, Temples of the Frog Folk, and includes some suggested rumors to use or ignore as you see fit. Here are a few excerpts:<br /><br />Inquiries concerning the frogfolk are usually met with brush-offs and more-or-less truthful statements that the frogspawn hardly matter. The even stranger truth is that human, elven, and dwarven scholars more-or-less agree that nothing good has ever come of speaking or writing about the frogspawn. It’s not that the frogspawn themselves are so powerful. But somehow terrible and weird things seem to happen to all the historians, bards, and scribes who have seriously considered the frogfolk in past eras. Those who speak about the frogfolk usually end up dying mysteriously, sometimes in ways that seem related to frogspawn, sometimes not. There’s apparently some great curse at work, but no one claims to understand it. The frogspawn seem like such a minor frayed thread in the world’s great tapestry that none of the great powers seem to have troubled themselves to unravel the mystery.<br /><br />o Properly prepared, frogspawn skin exudes hallucinatory toxins that promise visions of the future. Drug dealers, servants of dark gods, oracles, and visitors from other realities enslave or skin frogspawn when they can find them. And so the frogspawn try not to be found.<br /><br />o The gods hate the frogfolk. All the gods, even the meekest and most forgiving of the Gods of Light. The frogs aren’t part of any divine plan—they bubbled in from some alternate dimension, and they’re like a spiritual poison. If one of the frogfolk worships a god, its reverence poisons the deity. The only thing to do is make sure the frogs never find religion.<br /><br />o Toadstones, gentle reader. Toadstones! The frogfolk hide because whenever they come to the surface, greedy adventurers pry their foreheads open looking for magic gems.<br /><br />o PCs searching for the source of the frogspawn curse first learn that more than one age has ended when someone succeeded in uncovering the secret. It must be a coincidence.Rick Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707062453047354335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-39928333304773662622017-02-22T06:48:40.309-08:002017-02-22T06:48:40.309-08:00Same planet, different planes of existence (feywil...Same planet, different planes of existence (feywild, feydark, plane of shadow) Even Elves are assumed to be Feywild refugees.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919939079557184197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-32301851408143079652017-01-20T08:34:22.899-08:002017-01-20T08:34:22.899-08:00RE: Bullywugs.

One of the things that has always been a pet peeve of mine with D&D is that it has all these different humanoids that all seemed to evolve on the same planet. Even tho that bugs me I like having all kinds of weird humanoids for various thematic reasons but I blame their existence on magic. This village started worshiping a frog god so they turned into frog people, that warband was so vicious & cruel they were turned into dog people by the gods etc. Monster Manuals should just have a generic entry for these guys called Mooks or whatever. That should include a list of themed special abilities like; Insect & frog people can begin combat outside of melee range, leap, attack from the apogee & land outside of melee range.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288835804646182277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-531154781623860562017-01-05T14:30:24.928-08:002017-01-05T14:30:24.928-08:00what was the gist?what was the gist?Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-19532651841456382132017-01-05T14:29:43.989-08:002017-01-05T14:29:43.989-08:00I liked the 13th Age riff on frogfolk..I liked the 13th Age riff on frogfolk..s7610rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658417201343534248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-4925780269154504922017-01-05T12:12:22.232-08:002017-01-05T12:12:22.232-08:00Best porn site on web CLICK!Best porn site on web <a href="https://goo.gl/9J5LWD" rel="nofollow">CLICK!</a>MassageLoverkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181389686257147944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-22839633068848635682017-01-03T22:03:28.485-08:002017-01-03T22:03:28.485-08:00I always thought the tiny frogmen riding giant fro...I always thought the tiny frogmen riding giant frogs was cute. Maybe in actuality the giant frogs are secretly motivated by their lust for ponyplay.
