[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 9573534, member: 6686357"] LoK is imo a really weird choice to adapt into a ttrpg. It’s a character-driven series with worldbuilding that is provisional and has undergone a lot of rewrites between games due to turnover in development teams. The timeline has canonically been rewritten multiple times and we see several different timelines in the games. It’s a miracle that the story is as coherent as it is. Props to Amy Henig for accomplishing that. So it’s basically multiple settings in one. Multiple eras, timelines… Which era and which timeline does the tabletop use? Furthermore, the option to focus on the Sarafan necessarily limits the game to periods of Nosgoth where the Sarafan were solvent and Möbius was alive to lead them with his oracular sight (they were his creation, after all). Once he’s dead, they become pawns of the Hylden who want to invade Nosgoth and they clearly have no love for humans. (Also, does the time travel affect the Hylden or is the demon dimension outside of time? The Hylden suffer an agelessness and sterility for being there similar to githyanki, so it stands to reason…) So are we going to see Nosgoth before Kain raised his empire? Will the guardians be alive? Sane or insane? [/QUOTE]
