Since this seems to be an unplayed game here, I think I'll use the thread as a mini-blog and to keep my thoughts on the game.
This las session was interesting.
The Fun: Using the Disarm stunt on a skeleton results in a one-armed skeleton.
Using the Mighty Blow stunt to throw a skeleton into an unexplored passageway results in a very effective way to test traps. (We found this out when the poor skelly got up and tripped a rope trap).
The useful: I'm trying to get the Runecrafting Talent later, so I got the Enchanting specialization (it's a prereq). I hadn't thought it would see use before I got the talent, but it came in handy when we ran into a broken glowing rune-y circle. I asked the DM and she agreed I could use Enchanting to try and read what runes were in the circle and figure out what it was for. Turns out it was a demon containment circle.
The problematic: We're barely taking damage, and thanks to the "take 5" rule we heal most of it back. So far none of us has (in the 6 or so sessions we've done) come anywhere close to death. The DM is going to tackle that problem. Yaaay?
I've wanted to play it for a while now but my group hates Dragon Age.
Well that's sucky. Any particular reason they hate it?
I actually don't know.
Though the main hater actually liked Inquisition, IIRC.
So, there might be a chance.

Yeah, the RPG is vaguely post DA:O, so they tell me. (I've never actually played, so it's been a lot of discovery). But it could be set before the first game or even during.
So I've been playing this with some friends for a couple of months now and it's been pretty darn fun.
It's a new system for me, but it's been fairly easy to pick up and definitely easy on the Dices (I have at most needed to roll 5d6, with 95% of rolls being just 3d6).
We've been using all three sets of it, and it's an interesting concept mechanics wise. There are only 3 classes, with a combination of Focuses (skills) and Talents (something like feats) that can lead to Specializations (think prestige classes).
Anyone else playing right now?
