SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yes the rules themselves aren't that difficult to learn as they're built off the d20 foundation, but the organization of the book is bad. It assumes you, the reader, already know the fundamentals of 3e/4e, and thus it only glosses over them before moving on to the next subject.

The 13th Age Core Rulebook, is sort of like a PHB2 for D&D 4th Edition; with default setting information included.  It assumes you're already familiar with the system.  When you look at the 1st Bestiary for 13th Age, you see a resemblance to the D&D 4th Edition Monster Manuals.  It's sort of like D&D 4.5 Edition.
