April 2012 sees the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic so in true Pelgrane Press fashion we are releasing a mini-adventure set on the ill-fated voyage, The Millionaire’s Special. All proceeds of the sale of this adventure by Adam Gauntlett will go to the Heroes in the Dark charity which aims to bring audio comics to the blind and sight-impaired. We have a great range of articles for you this month including a discussion of the Gaean Reach mechanics from Robin D Laws, an introduction to Phil Reeves, our newest artist, a 13th Age competition where you can win a limited editon of the book, and a sneak peak at one of the 13th Age Icons, the High Druid. Also we have a few Night’s Black Agents treats, a fantastic Agent’s Dossier character booklet from John Anderson and an article on Tradecraft from Rob Wieland which shows how to use the simplest, everyday objects to great effect. Mike Drew talks about Verity Dyse the elusive mystery woman from The Book of the Smoke. Jonathan Tweet provides the foreword to the second volume of Robin D Laws’ outstanding comic strip, The Birds. We have a few more playtesting opportunities for you, the View from the Pelgrane’s Nest plus the Page XX poll and two new releases.
