In Europe's most popular fantasy RPG, The Dark Eye, you play the leading role at the center of heroic action. Play epic high fantasy, medieval intrigue, barbaric adventures, and more in a game born in a land of castles and legends. Magical powers merge seamlessly in a medieval setting, creating a believable world at once familiar and yet completely new. Adventure awaits in the rich and immersive fantasy setting of Aventuria.
The Dark Eye derives its name from the most intriguing magical artifacts in Aventuria -- the Dark Eyes. These rare and powerful magical items let users view faraway places and glimpse scenes from the distant past. Creating such an artifact calls for powerful magic and a sizable quantity of raw meteoritic iron. Few spellcasters have ever mastered the necessary enchantments. When completed successfully, the iron assumes the form of an orb or an eye.
People have been playing The Dark Eye for over 30 years! The game's master German designers and hundreds of thousands of players have created rich fantasy lore without compare. The game system lets your group play any game style they prefer, be it a fun, quick dungeon crawl, a more elaborate storytelling session, or an immersive simulation. The rules offer depth and detail, yet they are still fast to learn. Build the characters you want to play, or choose from a large selection of customizable character archetypes. A broad range of skills and special fighting styles ensure no two characters play alike.
This full-color 418-page English-language core rulebook, the fifth edition of the game, presents The Dark Eye's time-tested system, now incorporating decades of design refinements and player suggestions, all coordinated by a passionate and skilled team who have been playing for years.
Includes the 24-page quickstart rules originally distributed for Free RPG Day 2016. Learn more at the May 2016 Kickstarter campaign page. Read Lena Richter's thorough history of the game on Campaign Mastery.
