Dage FAQ (Version 1.1)
    Frequently Asked Questions about Dage, revised 5/15/96

  1. What is Dage?
  2. Dage is a world plunged into the abyss of darkness by the fall of great civilizations. That's the nice-sounding promo line, which pretty much sums up the world. Dage is a fantasy RPG world based upon Europe in the Dark Ages (ca. 550 - 800 AD), where magic, monsters, and the supernatural have coexisted with man since his appearance on the world.

  3. What game system is this in?
  4. It's designed for TSR's AD&D (2nd Edition), but due to legal pressure from those nice folks at TSR on creative development, all game mechanics information will be put in a "neutral" format. Because of the generic format of these stats, it should be easy to convert this information to any other major system.

    The following specifies game mechanics which will be listed differently than in the TSR literature, due to copyright protection. All other information is in AD&D 2nd Edition format.

    General Conventions:

    XDY: A Y-sided die rolled X times.

    Character Attributes:

    Att: 1 to 20.
    Def: -10 to 20.

    Creature Attributes:

    X + Y Dice: XD8 + Y hp.

  5. What kind of information is available?
  6. A basic physical map (in .gif format) of the continent is available, along with an outline of the land's history and social structure, information on religion, and basic gaming rules. More game material will surface on this page as it is created -- cities, organizations, NPCs, GM information, new monsters, character classes, etc. If you need information that isn't provided, tell me!

  7. I have some ideas of my own -- what can I do with them?
  8. All contributions are welcome. It's my aim to have this be a collective product, based on the Web, which gamers can both participate in and develop. If you have ideas, comments, or questions, mail me at dobbseric@urich.edu. If you want to participate more, I can give you an FTP account on my FTP server so that you can transfer information to me much quicker. Just mail me!
