About
Journey to the Planes with Ash Law!
The Overworld and Beyond presents planar-hopping adventures for the 13th Age roleplaying game. It includes a backwater setting that includes towns, wilderness, and gates to other worlds, all ready for you to incorporate into your gameworld.
Adventure for All Tiers of Play
- The Carrow Hills a perfect sandbox for adventure-tier play. Hooks, rumors, and NPCs are all interwoven to create a setting where the locals think being close to other planes is just the way thing are.
- Attack of the Koblins a champion-tier adventure. What are these strange creatures warped by transdimensional energies, and why are they striking out at innocent people?
- Further Adventures in the Carrow Hills give the GM a collection of champion-tier adventure hooks that tie into what's happened before, and foreshadow the epic-tier challenges ahead.
-
Into the Overworld presents the party with an epic-tier problem that won't be solved without exploring plane after plane.
There's a 5th-6th level adventure that has PCs up against forces from another world.
There's a 9th-10th level adventure that has the PCs traveling to myriad other planes: the City at the Edge of Dawn, the Elemental Realms, the Fleshscape, the Green, the Lightless Realm, and the Middenlands.
The project includes pages of adventure hooks, a bestiary, 13 Weird Worlds, 13 Peculiar People, and more!
Plus, we've got amazing stretch goals to really push this supplement over the top!

Backer Named Something Illustrations
At funding, and again at each stretch goal, we'll commission a small illustration for one of the NPCs, inns, or planes that backers at the NAME AN NPC level and above are naming. We'll pick a random backer who gets to name something after the Kickstarter is over and illustrate their NPC, inn, or plane. A backer who has multiple somethings to name gets to pick which one we illustrate.
We'll add another Backer Named Something Illustration with each stretch goal we reach.
Current Backer Named Something Illustration Count: 1

Risks and challenges
The base text is done but not edited, and stretch goals will require new work. We've shipped two successful Kickstarters, so we are confident we can ship you a quality product that will give you many sessions of fun.
However, we are a small company, and unforeseen circumstances (meteor strikes, etc.) could affect our ability to ship on time.
