Then the Icons themselves.

I would probably use Pathfinder for a dungeon bash or hex crawl. 13th Age is more political / social. It gets rid of many of my beefs with 4e.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863160473105489597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861350035587930909.post-85820528740545231752014-04-08T19:24:58.770+01:002014-04-08T19:24:58.770+01:00I will probably post about it at my blog but runni...I will probably post about it at my blog but running the game is very easy. I don't think the starter adventure is very good at showing <i>13th Age</i>'s strong points -- it made almost no use of the Icons for example -- so that was a mistake on my part.<br /><br />As far as character complexity goes, I think there's more to learn in the average <i>Pathfinder</i> character and our confusion was more down to it being a new system than any inherent complications. Asking new players to take over a second character half way into a session was probably a bit much.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861350035587930909.post-86430779562713058602014-04-08T16:38:11.667+01:002014-04-08T16:38:11.667+01:00Yes.

Probably using old and better scenarios in the sandbox mix to save time is surely a winner whilst adding some Icon fluff at the very least. <br /><br />Shame my pc got eaten in the first session. <br /><br />But looking forward to the second. Still think PF is better at the moment. And that these extras can be used / ported over. But am keen to be proven wrong!BenTheFerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760136651496176499noreply@blogger.com
