Lizardfolk have been one of my favorite fantasy races for a long time. They are often depicted as primitive swamp-dwelling tribes, but there are other possibilities for lizardfolk and reptilian humanoids in general. Saurians from the Titansgrave setting are the only official lizardfolk race for Fantasy AGE. The character rules for saurians make them adept with the technology of Titansgrave, but … Continue reading Fantasy AGE: Desert Lizardfolk
Age of Terror Update
I've posted an update for my Age of Terror pdf that hacks the Dragon Age RPG to run a campaign based on Diablo. There are a few changes from the previous version: Black Knight, Dark Counselor, Pit Lord, and Succubus monster entries have been added. The campaign sections after the Skeleton King have been filled … Continue reading Age of Terror Update
Fantasy AGE Dragonfolk
Here's another race for Fantasy AGE: the dragonfolk. Dragonfolk are a bit experimental in that I gave them a slight power boost with racial armor and a breath weapon.

A while ago, Green Ronin announced that they would be releasing a version of the AGE system that wasn't tied to the Dragon Age IP. I've never been particularly … Continue reading Fantasy AGE Arrives!
Spellcasting Traditions in AGE
I've been thinking about spellcasting in my hack of the Dragon Age RPG for a while. One thing that I'd like to include is differentiation between different types of spellcasters rather than having a single mage class. In particular, I want to represent different types of spellcasters from D&D in AGE so that there is … Continue reading Spellcasting Traditions in AGE
AGE: Stunts & Saving Throws Don’t Mix
One of my favorite parts of the AGE system used in the Dragon Age RPG is the stunt system. When making an ability check in AGE, you roll 3d6 to get your result. If you succeed and at least 2 of the 3 dice show the same value, then you generate stunt points that can … Continue reading AGE: Stunts & Saving Throws Don’t Mix
