The folks over at RPG Planet sat a moment or two with Niklas Weidel, producer and original designer for Archaean. Here's some of what he had to say: RPGPlanet: You plan to have monsters assaulting towns. Are there going to be safe areas for low level characters, where monsters will never attack?
Niklas: First off, we don't feature "levels", so low level characters doesn't exist. Everyone are, apart from their skills and experience, alike, just like in reality. A "newbie" can kill a big, bad monster just as well as the age-old swordmaster - it just takes a whole damn lot of more luck than the swordmaster who has extremely better chances due to his skills. But it isn't impossible.
And there are no safe areas. The safest areas, though, would be inside fortified cities with trained military forces and cityguards. It would take a while for monsters to breach them. You can read the rest of the interview here.
