About This ARPG
Primeval Age is an art role-play group, or ARPG, set in a a post-apocalyptic world where you play as a dinosaur!
While every ARPG is different in what it does, they all involve some manner of creating art and/or literature using characters in the game, which are then turned in for rewards of some kind.
We offer a lot to do in the group, and you can tailor your experience to the things that interest you most!
You can collect and design characters from a diverse collection of species, craft your own lore and stories for them, and join them on a variety of quests and challenges!
The group strives to provide a variety of gameplay options with opportunities for both loot-focused gameplay and character-building, as well as an active and friendly community of fellow dinosaur-lovers!
The game is played primarily through our website, where many features such as quest rolling, breeding outcomes, egg hatching, and all other RNG based activities are completely automated! Through our site you can also securely manage your inventory, trades, and characters all on your own!
