Dragon Age RPG / Apr 6, 2013
The Dragon Age RPG is a pen-and-paper role-playing game based on the Bioware's computer RPG of the same name. The game is produced by Green Ronin and uses their in-house AGE rule system. The system uses three six sided dice -- two white, one red -- that are rolled together. The sum is compared against a target number; if that number is met or exceeded, the task is accomplished. If doubles are rolled, stunt points are generated that can be used to carry out special actions. The exact number of stunt points is determined by the red die, which is known as the "Dragon Die" in game.
The game is being released in boxed sets, similar to original Dungeons & Dragons; Set 1 covers levels 1-5, Set 2 covers levels 6-10, and Set 3 covers levels 11-20. The official web site includes news about upcoming releases, PDFs of character sheet, quick play rules, and game extras, and links to current products.
