Adventures in Thedas are waiting for you!

Nearly 14,000 words later, and it's finally finished: My own take on a Dragon Age modification of DnD 5E! It is created with thought for those who are pre-existing fans of Dragon Age, but potentially new to Dungeons and Dragons.

In this handbook, you will find everything you need for a TTRPG in the Dragon Age setting:

4 lineages (human, dwarf, elf, qunari)

3 classes (warrior, rogue, mage)

5 specializations for each class

16 sample backgrounds

And more!

There are three main reasons I decided to put my lore knowledge to work and make this:

The official Dragon Age Tabletop game is just not that user friendly, in my experience with it; especially for anyone new to TTRPGs. This book I have put together is based on Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, which is a system that far more people are familiar with, and therefore is a) well known by many already, and b) easier to access further information on for those new to it.

While I was able to find a couple versions of similar modifications other people have made, those versions were out of date with the lore, and/or did not meet my personal taste/standards.

I love being a Dungeon Master, and I want to run more games set in Thedas in the future. But like I said, the official rules just aren't good for me, and I would prefer something like... well, this!

This handbook is free to use by anyone who wants it. (You are also, of course, free to make changes for your personal games as you like.)

My only ask is that you please reblog this post so more people can find it. I worked really hard on this, after all. Thank you!

Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications

Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

everyone in the tags adding the fennell wuthering heights is correct btw

[auspex]

[gumy-shark]

[mod2amaryllis]

hate that I've developed a negative response to the word cozy. because I've started to sort it with the feminine energy just a girl wave. cozy games (for girls). cozy reads (for girls). buy these products to achieve coziness (you deserve it girl). it's fucked up. being cozy is the best thing... blanket and coffee costs nothing... it's awesome.. i don't like that my brain is conflating these things...

[mizuthe-cat]
