Promotional Art from BioWare

This is a page to collect and share resources for the tabletop Dragon Age game.  If you know of anything I've missed, please leave a comment and link below!


DASites


A Guide to Swearing in Thedas - Expressions taken from various dialogue through the Dragon Age video games.

The Anderfels Tumblr - "This is a blog dedicated to the Anderfels, a fictional nation in Dragon Age.

Dragon Age Campaign Codex - "The DA Manager will be providing a lot of functions, and will be customizable for those GM’s who want to add new homebrew content to their games. It will include a Combat Tracking system that keeps track of conditions, health and more. There is also a character generator and sheet for keeping track of your pc’s. Also an NPC creator so you can upgrade and find NPC’s quickly. There are also various game resources you can add to or edit, like backgrounds, talents, specializations, spells, and equipment. And the best part for GM’s a campaign tracker to help organize your game notes and keep all of you info at your finger tips."

Dragon Age RPG official forums - Message boards hosted by Green Ronin.

Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1 - A collectible book that gives an overview of the world of Thedas.  

Dragon Age Wiki - The amazing wiki for the various Dragon Age video games, as well as the lore of Thedas.

Esoterica from Thedas - Fan-produced PDFs to expand offerings in the tabletop game from various aspects of the video games, from monsters to reagents to organizations.  Any updates will be uploaded to this Drop Box.

Fans of the Dragon Age RPG - A Facebook group for those who are interested in the tabletop game as well as FantasyAGE in general.

Interactive Map of Thedas by bendingwind - Assembled with a wide variety of settlements, roads, and other features, this map lets you show or hide elements at your leisure.

Wonders of Thedas Resources - They have links to official resources, as well as fan-made creations like specializations, blood magic rules, and extra stunts.


Music

Ascendant - "an instrumental mix for dragon age: inquisition."

Dragon Age Inquisition Descent/Trespasser soundtrack - Available for streaming (via Amazon Prime).

Dragon Age: Origins soundtrack - Available for streaming (included via Amazon Prime).

Imperium"He still remembered arriving at Teraevyn. Even the grandeur of Val Royeaux, with all its palaces and gleaming buildings, didn't compare to this Tevinter city. Signs of age were everywhere: crumbling statues of dragons, the remnants of ancient temples, decrepit buildings covered in moss. It was as if the entire city was built on top of older ones still, with the past poking through like weeds and refusing to stay buried" - Dragon Age Asunder 

The Imperium - "An instrumental fanmix dedicated to the longest existing human country in Thedas."

Magi: a tevinter imperium fanmix - "A mix dedicated to the Tevinter Imperium, the longest existing human country in Thedas."

Tevinter: A Dragon Age fan mix - "Another instrumental fanmix inspired by the Tevinter Imperium from the Dragon Age universe."

Tevinter: Ancient Times - "The Imperium spans Thedas. Learn the glories and trials of the Old Gods, witness the strength of the Legions, and accept the majesty and power of the Archons."

Tevinter Imperium playlist - "A mix inspired by the lost glory of the single mage-ruled nation in Thedas and its unscrupulous aristocracy."


Kismet's Creations

Dragon Age Calendar and Journal - A Google sheets calendar for tracking in-game events.  It can be used to jot notes day-by-day or by month, and has information for playing in ancient times as well as after the Blights began.  Save a copy for yourself, edit it to your heart's content, and share with your group!

Dragon Age Character Sheet - This 3 page generic sheet will track characters over the long term, including titles, servants, and the like.  It is editable in Google Sheets (once you save a copy) so you can delete any sections which don't apply to your character, if you wish.  The last page presents generators for all of the races of Thedas, in case you need them.  (There is a glitch in Google Sheets that makes it seem like the file has comments attached, but it does not.  Little triangles will show up in the corners of some fields; when I figure out how to make them go away, I'll update this.)

Dragon Age Organization Generator - If you hit the Roll button, it will generate stats for a basic organization that has not been affected by plots, growth, or misfortune yet. There are suggested focuses (you need to choose 2 to start with, and one must be tied to the highest score). You will still have to figure out a name and other details (like how many troops the group could muster), and right now this is very basic, with no additions or ideas on my part.


Dragon Age Campaigns Online

Obsidian Portal DA Campaigns - Want to see what others have done or are doing with their games online?  This is one place to have a look.  There are a good many campaigns set in Thedas, and while many are older, all can be mined for ideas.

Revolutions: A Chronicles of Thedas RPG - An organized message board for a more free-form style of roleplaying in Thedas.  Though there are rules for the site, they do not appear to be using the Green Ronin rules set for play.

Warden's Vigil - "Dragon Age: Warden's Vigil is a Dragon Age: Origins based roleplaying community within the world of Thedas. Our timeline is set approximately three years after the Fifth Blight and the events that happened in Dragon Age: Origins."  (Not using Green Ronin rules.)


Fantasy AGE Sites

AGE RPG System Community - For fans and rules related to the AGE system on Google+.

Crossplanes - A Patreon-backed resource for Fantasy AGE.

Fantasy AGE RPG - Another gathering for fans and rules related to the AGE system on Google+.


Since everything is so spread out on the internet right now, some resources are virtually hidden.  If you do the right search or dig through enough pages on Google, you can find some gems, but otherwise you might get lost in all of the material for the video games for the FantasyAGE system.  You might be able to get a lot out of that material but it helps to know of things that are aimed right at the tabletop RPG.
