Double posted from HERE b/c of awesomeness. Sorry if it's in the wrong section, but I figured some folks might be interested.
Game Description: This is a game set in the world of the
Dragon Age: Origins video game, using the Dragon Age RPG rules published
by Green
Ronin) .
I am looking for 3-5 players. An in-depth knowledge of Thedas history
is not required, but players should have a familiarity with the story,
setting, and tone of Dragon Age, likely gained through playing the game
at least once. Familiarity with the Dragon Age RPG system is not
required; it is a relatively simple class-and-level system that
emphasizes characterization over number crunching and should be fairly
easy for newcomers to pick up.
The most important qualities that a player needs to demonstrate are a
knowledge of characterization and an ability to compose interesting
prose. In short, your submission should make me want to read more
things that you write about your character. Length is not an issue. An
interesting and intriguing short submission has every chance to be
accepted as a well-crafted long submission.
The campaign will take place primarily in Ferelden, and begin as
the what will eventually be known as the Fourth Blight is still the
topic of whispered rumors. The Grey Wardens have warned King Cailan of
the growing darkspawn horde, while Teyrn Loghain advises caution. The
plot will deal with the with the events of the blight, but will run
parallel with the video game's story with occasional references a rare
intersections (the PCs are the heroes of this tale, after all). The PCs
back stories could very well have nothing to do with darkspawn or the
blight.
The Dragon Age RPG system for character creation features a lot of dice
rolling and random chance, but is flexible enough that you should be
able to get fairly close to the character you envision, though he/she
may not have his/her numbers exactly where you would have put them.
PCs will be level one, which makes them to novice adventurers trying to
make their way in the world. The Dragon Age RPG (unlike, for example,
D&D4e) makes no assumptions that the PCs are exceptionally heroic in
their ability (though they are likely to be better than "average"
people at what they do). The pre-published adventures, in fact, commonly
state that character death is very possible in climactic encounters,
though not likely if the PCs are smart. Though all this jives with the
"Dark Fantasy" tone of the setting, it should serve as a warning to
players who might have expected otherwise.
PCs will belong to one of three races and three classes, which are
selected based on the Origin they choose for their character. The
origins also grant bonuses to abilities (some set, some random), and
those in Set 1 of the RPG (and the races and classes they permit)
include:
Apostate Mage (Human, Elf, Mage)
Avaari Hillsman (Human, Warrior, Rogue)
Circle Mage (Human, Elf, Mage)
City Elf (Elf, Warrior, Rogue)
Dalish Elf (Elf, Warrior, Rogue)
Ferelden Freeman (Human, Warrior, Rogue)
Surface Dwarf (Dwarf, Warrior, Rogue)
I would consider creating other origins for different character
backgrounds (such as Chasind barbarian or Chantry raised), provided the
player provides a good reason to do so. All characters should be from
Ferelden, however.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll add anything else that might
pop into my head as it does.
