AGE - Fantasy or Dragon

I've been wanting to run a game in the rule system encompassing Fantasy AGE, Dragon Age, or Titansgrave. This is an interest check, in order of my preference but I'm fully committed to running any of these.

1) Orcish Tales of Ribaldry (Fantasy AGE): this rocky, desert setting is populated mostly by orcs. The game would be low magic, like Conan. My plan is to leverage the game for world building and flavor for a set of short stories I'm writing (not intended to be based on gameplay).

2) Dragon Age: following the (possible) events and outcomes of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the characters would be based out of the West Approaches, dealing with (wait for it) mysterious darkspawn threats. This would not be a lore intensive game (sorry Cullenites), but would try and stay true to the world building done by Bioware.

3) Titansgrave: Wil Wheaton's customized setting for the Fantasy AGE system, this would probably also be Tales of Ribaldry and high adventure, but using that particular setting instead of my Orcish desert.

4) Player preference and/or cooperative game building

My plans are richer than briefly written here but before I go to far down the unlimited rabbit hole of time suckage, player preference is being requested.

If you're interested in a campaign based on one of the above options, or a completely different fantasy implementation, please let me know. Three players or more and we'll move this into a game.

I'm interested in the in the first scenario of the Orcish Tales of Ribaldry. Count me in if you get more interest.

Heya BlackGoblin, and welcome to Gamers Plane. I did get a strongly worded PM for Dragon Age, so that's one vote for each. To be honest, if we do end up going DA, I'll still try and get some Ribaldry in there.

I would be into either idea #1 or #4. I've never played Dragon Age video games and know nothing about the lore. I'm not a super fan of Titansgrave setting.

I've been on a Dragon Age kick lately, so I would adore playing in that setting!

Looks like two votes for orcish Ribaldry, and two for DA (including Thielindra's PM).

i've never heard of or played any of these systems, but that first option sounds fun - the harsh desert setting reminds me of fond memories of playing Dark Sun (a d&d 2e campaign setting for those young'uns).

Sweet, looks like it's Orcish Tales of Ribaldry.

The Fantasy AGE system is pretty slick. Not very crunchy but has some really neat options. You won't need a book to play.

I'll set up the game and send invites tomorrow and we can discuss characters and the system in game.

Invites have gone out to BlackGoblin, MushroomMage and twotonkatrucks.

As to astonishingantman, I will probably do another Dragon Age game soon, so you're welcome to join this one, or wait a month or so for that one to kick off.

Bit late, but just putting this out there - If you do end up running the DA one in the future, gimme a shout! I've been wanting to play it properly for a while, big fan of DA's story and lore (Though less so the actual games, past the first).

I'm totally a casual player of Dragon Age. I've played bits of the three games. Seen a fan movie. My wife however is a huge fan so I'd have a lore checker to keep me honest haha.

I'm sure that I'll run DA soon. Not having much luck with the Fantasy AGE group that joined, so not sure if that will go forward or not. If it doesn't, my DA game will launch sooner rather than later.

I'm in the same boat, hit me up if you do Dragon Age!

I would love to join in a Dragon Age game.

I set up a Dragon Age game, and invited Bleak, astonishingantman, and Thielindra. I left a fourth spot open, but I'm okay with just three. We can discuss that game that we want to play in-game after you joined, and go from there. I have ideas, but if you're curious about some aspect of the DA world, we can aim to incorporate that in.

Oh, sweet! Thanks. I'll have to dig the rulebook out now.
