Level 3 pregens from Campaign Coins (.zip PDFs) level 3 by Jackson Heenan: Dark Elf Monk, Derro Wizard, Human Necromancer, Goblin Rogue. AUTHOR’S NOTE: “This party was created for The First Bank of Drakkenhall, a heist adventure of stealth and skulduggery. As such, they are somewhat dodgy, shady characters that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley in the City of Monsters. Also attached is a list of suggested magic items that would serve them in such endeavors. Also, the goblin and derro, being unofficial player races, have homebrew powers that probably aren’t perfectly balanced.”

Hey quick question who was the artist that made the map for the Dragon Empire?
This was created by Lee Moyer.
Is there are quick-start for 13th Age so I can see if this is a game I would want to run?
Hi Kevin. You can find an overview of 13th Age on the core rulebook page here and you can also find a quick preview and full-size preview over on DriveThruRPG. Thanks, Becky.
The free adventure Make Your Own Luck has a quick-start rules section that, along with the pregens, should give you enough to run that adventure—but honestly, I think you only really “get” 13th Age if you read the rulebook, so a quick start might not conveyt what makes the game great. You can download that on Roll20: https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/module/43/make-your-own-luck
