The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #587: The Case of the Troubled Territory Part 2 and Thirteenth Hour Action Figure Updates
The Thirteenth Hour Podcast
In this this week’s episode, I touch on a few updates -
The newest episode of The Thirteenth Hour universe expansion rpg using the homebrew DnD system my brother and I are testing is out. In it, Capital City detective Lester Lefoe and his sidekick, Claudia, prepare to leave for a diplomatic mission for a Tartec territory with not-so-great relations with King Darian IV's country. We test out the battle system and finish off on a cliffhanger with a large sea creature about to ?attack their boat.
A sketch (unfinished) of Lester getting whacked by a sparring dummy.
And this is the creature we will find out more about in episode 3 ...

I have also been working on figures for some of the characters for the sequels. I found the perfect figure for Rigg Hassen, the Aulurwen soldier that is sent to capture or kill Logan (but doesn't). He is in all black and almost exactly how I originally pictured/drew him. Even the facial expression is pretty close!

This is another find of a 1:18 scale highly articulated figure (I think maybe from Gundam Wing) that would be great for customization.
This GI Joe Lady Jaye figure is similar in size and also would be good for Aurora, with some changes.
I ended up swapping the legs since I think the one of the left will work better for Logan and the one on the right, Aurora.
More next week!

Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!
It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music. (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)
