AGE Brew: Player Created Backgrounds

December 10th, 2011. A day to be remembered. Once again, due to a lack of players showing up for one reason or another, mostly legitimate ones involving real life, we played an improvised game of Dragon Age RPG.

I am falling more and more in love with this game the more we play it. However, the game setting itself, while intriguing, I find does not do it for everybody at my table. So, I proposed an idea to the three players able to make it that week: create our own backgrounds based on what we want the character to be, and the setting will create itself as we move on from there.

I love the Dresden Files series of books. I admittedly also love the short lived television show based on the books, though I recognize the books are incredibly more entertaining. If you have not read them, I strongly reccommend that you do.

For those of you who have already read them, I give you a present that you can easily insert into your game: Bob.

Weekly 4e Homebrew: Commoners

Every Sunday, I'll have a completely homebrewed Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition element that you can use in your games.

The Player Characters are supposed to be special in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. They are driven by powerful threads of destiny woven into the fabric of the universe. Even the villains they oppose and the monsters they battle are special in their own right.

But what about the every day guy? What about the people who are just trying to make a life for themselves, day by day? What about the Commoners?

AGE Brew: Nobleman background

I was introduced to the Dragon Age RPG by NewbieDM via his blog, and a one-shot combat session online, and I was HOOKED! I love the character creation, the Dragon Die mechanics, EVERYTHING! So of course, I was tempted to create my own material for the game outside the assumed setting of Dragon Age.
