<a href="http://dragonage.bioware.com/penpaper.html">If you get passed the age check on BioWare's website</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>BioWare is pleased to announce it has teamed up with tabletop RPG masters, award-winning author Chris Pramas (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Freeport), and RPG publisher Green Ronin to bring you the official pen and paper RPG based on Dragon Age: Origins the video game.
<br>
<br>
Chris Pramas has created a tabletop RPG of dark fantasy adventure. You and your friends can take on the personas of warriors, mages, and rogues in the world of Thedas and try to make your names by overcoming sinister foes and deadly challenges. You may face down the vile darkspawn in ancient dwarven ruins, engage in a duel of wits with an Orlesian noble, or uncover the secrets of the Fade. You may win renown or you may die alone in the trackless wilderness. Whatever your fate, your story will your own to tell. In the tabletop Dragon Age RPG you make the choices and try to survive the consequences.
<br>
[...]
<br>
The Dragon Age RPG will be available in hobby game stores, as well as bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. You’ll also be able to buy it online from the Green Ronin Online Store, Amazon.com, and similar outlets.</blockquote>
<br>
Features notes are that it's "exciting to play" and that it will include both "character creation" and "rules of play". No word on whether water is wet though.

Warriors, mages, and rogues? What about priests? And what races are actually supported?
And "ancient dwarven ruins"? Uh-oh, I smell a Morrowind ripoff...
