I'm pleased to announce that Escalation Issue 9 is now available! You can
  find it on the Vault of the 13th Age. This issue's theme is House Rules. There are rules for icon relationships,
  NPC companions, consumable item creation, increasing monster challenge, injury
  and dying, initiative, packing even more richness into a natural die roll, and
  more. Some of these house rules complement each other, while others directly
  conflict with one another. As a huge fan of tweaking a system to make it my
  own, I hope you'll enjoy the options that you'll find in this issue—some come
  straight from my own table!
  We love to hear feedback, so let us know what you enjoy and would like to
    see more of in the future. What's missing that you'd like us to include next
    time? What didn't work so well, and we should consider omitting? This is the
    community's fanzine, and we want to make it as useful as possible for
    you.
  Please consider submitting articles that expand upon the theme of the High
    Seas for Issue 10. See the information on the right side of the page if
    you'd like to submit an article or art.
  Thanks again to everyone who made this possible!
