Red Moon and Warring Kingdoms is Now Available


Escalation is proud to announce that Red Moon and Warring Kingdoms is now available on the Jonstown Compendium for free download. Red Moon and Warring Kingdoms is a new sourcebook for 13th Age Glorantha, written by Evan Franke and illustrated by Patricia Baker.

Seeking Lunar Heroes

On a lost and forgotten frontier of the Lunar Empire, the Lunar City-States of Arrolia face an existential threat as the western kingdoms of Fronela descend into war.

The Kingdom of War

After a century of magical isolation, Fronela was taken unaware by the appearance of a bloodthirsty land obsessed with conquest and beholden to one hundred gods of war: the Kingdom of War! Led by Lord Death on a Horse and his consort, the witch Ezdene, city after city has fallen. The great Janube River runs with blood, and the lost Lunar City-States are next!

A SUPPLEMENT FOR 13TH AGE GLORANTHA AND BEYOND

Rob Heinsoo and Jonathan Tweet’s visionary adaptation of 13th Age, the d20-rolling game of heroic fantasy, to Glorantha, receives fan supplement and expansion, adding the first-ever Lunar character classes and magic for the game in an all-new setting beyond Dragon Pass!

Whatever rules system you play, you will find plenty of adventure ideas, maps, setting information, and incredible art for a game set during the era of The Kingdom of War!

Inside this book, you will find:

  • Guidelines for creating and running the Lunar heroes of Fronela in 13th Age
  • Discussion of the land and kingdoms of Fronela
  • Descriptions of the peoples of Fronela, including rules for playing trollkin, elves, dwarfs, and Waertagi, as well as ten new human cultures for 13th Age Glorantha
  • Seven Lunar character classes for 13th Age, a Lunar aspirational feat, and a bonus subclass for the Berserker
  • Additional background materials, including original maps and a timeline
  • New Gloranthan narrative fiction
  • And much more!

This supplement requires 13th Age Glorantha, which you can find on the Pelgrane Press store and the Chaosium store.
