If you want to run a game at a convention, you want it to be epic and for people to remember both you and your game. Much of that has to do with what you do before you get to the table as much as what you do during the game.

5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Minions
In a previous post, I wrote up a guide to mini-bosses. The thing about mini-bosses, they’re nothing without those to boss around. Today we are following that post up with the group that makes the last group possible: minions. Minions come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of willingness. While fantasy and science fiction racesContinue reading “5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Minions”
5e: Unbroken Hero
With the Book of Heroes: Heroic Fighter Archetypes coming out next week, we wanted to give you a taste of what is inside. This one is one of my favorites.

Traveller: Psirat
If you thought rats were difficult to kill without of a rat trap, imagine one that can talk to others of its kind telepathically. It can be a look out, warn others of impending danger, call for help, and much more.

5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Mini-Bosses
There’s a short story by Janni Lee Simner called Practical Villany that I particularly love. It’s from the villain’s point of view. The opening line is “The first thing I want you to know is that I drowned those kittens for a reason.” It’s a dark comedy about a villain talking to his latest kidnapeeContinue reading “5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Mini-Bosses”
Pathfinder: Ravager Wolf
I mentioned last month that we at JBE decided to continue with Pathfinder 1e support. Having said that, we decided to not continue on as business as usual. Since Paizo will be ending support for PF1 soon, we no longer feel the need to continue on in their footsteps; we want to do things ourContinue reading “Pathfinder: Ravager Wolf”

13th Age: The Talented Rogue
The best way to describe a stereotypical rogue is simply not possible. Rogues always have a wide assortment of tricks up their sleeves that they area easy to mistake for a fighter or a wizard.
