This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Much like the One Ring, the Shannara Chronicles RPG will focus on one era, the Elfstones of Shannara and expand from there. Will Wheaton will play the game on his new Tabletop RPG.

Shannara Chronicles RPG

What do you think? Will Shannara translate into a great RPG?

I don't know. It seems plausible enough to barely qualify as a prank...  :-P

Hide your links better.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Right click on the link & look at properties.

It shows the true link in Chrome's link bar.

Either a URL shortner or link to some site who's content is not disclosed in the URL, like the youtube rickrolls earlier today.

Isn't there a TV show version due out on MTV?

I wouldn't be shocked if someone actually licensed it. I'd guess Margaret Weis - she licenses all sorts of crap.

Didn't Mongoose release this as a poorly-edited d20 game with 20 shitty supplements and bare boobs on every second page, back in 2003?

No, she licenses pretty decent IP (Marvel, Firefly) actually. Sadly she then saddles it with the worlds shittiest shit shit mechanic to ever be conceived...

It's a shame because Shannara probably would translate to a decent RPG, if a bit of a generic one. I'd be tempted to go for a mix of Labyrinth Lord and Mutant Future, with more Mutant Future the closer you get to the present day and more Labyrinth Lord the deeper you get into the later timeline.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Shannara using Runequest 6. I think that system could be used to make the magic work.
