'''''The Dark Eye''''' (originally called "''Das Schwarze Auge''" or ''DSA'' for short) is a German pen-and-paper RPG. Originally released in 1984, its fourth edition was published in 2002 and fifth edition in 2015. The game is set on the planet Dere (an anagram of the German word for Earth, “Erde,”) more specifically the continents of Aventuria and Myranor, even though a supplement for a third continent was announced last year. Aventuria, the main continent for the game, is tiny, but one of the most well-described RPG settings known to mankind – every region has its own sourcebook of 200 pages or so, often with minute details about the food, customs and people of that region.
Typical for ''The Dark Eye'' is a very strong and continuous [[Metaplot]], including the political decisions made in [[Play-By-Post Games]] for, preferably, [[Hard Core]] players. This very strong canon orientation has created a vivid background but also has the consequence that sourcebook content ages quickly and is rarely up to date. The detailed world is also one of the major selling points of the system, and creates a feeling of verisimilitude which is quite uncommon for fantasy RPG settings.
