Dragon Age Pencil & Paper

[Ben]

Just finished playing the Hobbit's first game of the new Dragon Age rpg designed to accompany the Dragon Age video game.

The system is simple and intuitive, not restrictive in any way, and the stunt system makes combat exciting and dynamic.

A couple things we did notice :
- Blightwolves are deadly, especially if they attack you while you're sleeping
- Greatsword wielders are the ultimate in kill power
- Defense values of ~13 are not high enough to reliably dodge anything (especially when Colin's rolling)

another thing we noticed was that you cant punch out a blight wolf
and your character will spend most of their time being knocked prone

[Colin]

Blight wolves for the win.Hopefully will find a spot next week to get another session quite enjoyed it.Looks like we got 2 new pc's as well with one of them being a Dalish elf so should be cool.

Will allow me to get the npc back into the background where he belongs.He didn't realize his buddy from the Tevinter Imperium was quite so creepy

[Ben]

Because all those other Tevinter chaps are such bright and cheery people. ;D
I will certainly be looking forward to the next game.

Is there any analysis of the system you can give from the perspective of GM, Colin? Any pros/cons you can think of?

[Ross]

Did anyone manage to die?

just an npc and some random guys in a house that got in the dwarfs way
