A white board detailing scribbling of the old versus the new goblins but most of the text for old has been erased. Its really confusing. Arranged in three columns one for the tribe, one for the action economy, and one for the plot lines.

Text from the 13th Age rule book. OtHER FACTORs Mavbe we love dragons a little too much. Caveat ludio Freaking tough: We might have gotten the math "wrong with these guys. Like we said, dragons have reason to believe they are the heroes. Remind the players that we didn't even try to balance dragons, and their adventurers have the option to retreat.
A photo of three tiny stools and a slightly taller table in the center of a bank. The chairs and table are sized for children but there are no toys or children's books present. The entire room lacks any joy.

Meme of the xkcd cartoon about a bunch of blocks that are carefully balanced on one sturdy support and one thin support. The whole stack is labeled as the board game industry and the little support is for game-icons.net. This suggests designers are dependent on this free service a bunch of unsung heroes support.
