What it’s about:

13^th Age is a love letter to D&D: a rules-light, story-oriented RPG that honors old school values while advancing the OGL art. Players create unique heroes using flexible interpretations of familiar D20 character classes. New indie-style rules connect each character’s story to the Gamemaster’s customized version of the campaign setting.

Apparently you can also email Beth Lewis to sign up and play test!

What is interesting to me is you have the 3rd & 4th edition designers of D&D working on a rules-light OGL D&D love letter. Happy to hear about it, but I am curious why this love letter wasn't D&D 3.x or 4ed?  Well time will tell...
