I am mostly following John Wick’s 31 day Challenge, but today I decided to do a different game. Fantasy Age is the Generic System that was first the Dragon Age RPG, which was featured on Tabletop.
I enjoy this system, although it has some flaws, but I have not made a character for me – I was always the GM. I decided on a gnomish mage who is so obsessed with forbidden knowledge, that he sometimes forgets all else. Tik Kelbon, is his name.
The Character
Tik Kelbon could not sit still once he learned of the existence of the Soul Arcana, spells that can manipulate one’s very essence. Perhaps raise the dead or even moving the soul to another body or object! Not that he wanted to such things, but imaging how it would help the world.
He had off towards the deep desert, where the Tome of the Soul was rumoured to be found. He had provisions enough for a long trip on his horse, and water for some time. He had his crew together at the Inn of the Rat on the edge of the dunes. Once they were rested for the night, they would set out.
Now the task of getting there and getting the Tome without the others knowing what he sought. They might not want anyone to have that knowledge. Well. he’s gotten this far without anyone knowing; he can make it the rest of the way. He will know soon enough.
The Experience
Fantasy AGE is an interesting system. I watched the tabletop episode while I made this character to get in the mood. The system is simple, although the book is not organized very well. I had to jump about a bit to get the character made. They had a list to make it helpful, but there was a bit of searching to get the details. Still, I got it done.
