Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis working on a The Adventure Zone Tabletop RPG

Details are sparse, but Eberron's Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis are working on a tabletop RPG of The Adventure Zone, based on the popular podcast by the McElroy family.

We’re excited to share that we’re developing a tabletop game with The McElroys based on their popular podcast and NYT #1 selling graphic novels, The Adventure Zone. The game is still in development, so we’re staying hush on details for now ...

The game will be produced by Twotogther Studios.

The Adventure Zone is a humorous podcast based loosely on Dungeons & Dragons featuring Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy, and father Clint McElroy.

I'm reading the graphic novel right now: color me intrigued.

I honestly could imagine this being a 1 page rpg given how hand wavy their play style is

Could be Powered by the Apocalypse fantasy comedy game.

That would be my guess. Griffin even made his own PbtA hack for the Stolen Century, and they've settled pretty firmly on PbtA since finishing the Balance arc.

Working off elves have low-light vision while goblins have darkvision. The D&D magicpunk pulp urban fantasy setting of high adventure & intrigue FaceTime PC?

A typo in the information... Not Ebberon, but Eberron.

They are pretty much playing D&D so this makes no sense. Zero interest.

Interesting. I didn't know they've moved to PBtA, but that makes sense. They play so fast and loose with D&D that this probably makes sense for folks looking for a similar "template" to play from: much of D&D's downtime systems and more involved combat strategy stuff doesn't really seem like their cup of tea.

I'm a little surprised they just don't do Dungeon World straight up...?
