Dark Crystal RPG in the works.

ICv2 - 'Dark Crystal' RPG

From the folks working on the comic, Archaia Entertainment.

It's the first I've heard of it. My daughter loves that movie, so do I. I'm looking forward to this.

"The game will be designed by Luke Crane, who also created the Mouse Guard RPG for Archaia and the award-winning Burning Wheel. "

That is encouraging.

However, putting forth an RPG before the ever-so-slowly-moving movie sequel could be problematic. It could also be excellent marketing, but only if they are in communication with those who are making the sequel, so they can plan ahead of time to be consistent with both films.

Holding up a project for a movie that could be fairly described as being in production Hell is even moreso, IMO. If the film actually does come out, it can be addressed in a supplement or in a second edition.

There was also a Dark Crystal novel based on the movie. Not an easy item to find now, though.

Had it (maybe still do). Follows the movie exactly, except for calling the Mystics "Ur-Ru" (as I recall).

There's also a huge and beautiful coffee-table book of art from the movie (and development of), as well as a fair amount of exposition on the setting as a whole. It is one of the best things I ever purchased.
