What is the Tome of Races?

The Tome of Races is the first in a line of Annals of Ages products that are compatible with the 13th Age Roleplaying Game and The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. All content is also easily adaptable to any fantasy roleplaying game.

This first offering is a 96+ page full-color hardcover book containing 20+ original fantasy races. Every race in the book consists of the following:

  • a full-page, full-color male/female piece of art
  • rules specific boxed text compatible with 13th Age and The Pathfinder Roleplaying game
  • approximately 2 pages of racial information, including culture, gov't, history, etc.
  • approximately one page short story introducing the new race
  • half page full-color artwork of the race in action (e.g. battle scene)

We want to provide a large set of varied racial options that can be dropped into most any fantasy campaign setting. This is an invaluable resource for both players and game masters alike.
