[QUOTE="darjr, post: 8523418, member: 52905"] [B]RuneScape[/B], the game that started as a browser-based RPG in 2001, is coming to the tabletop! Two games have been announced -- a boardgame and a tabletop roleplaying game, both slated for a 2022 release. While the boardgame will hit Kickstarter this year, the RPG will not, and will instead head straight to stores. According to Wikipedia, [I]RuneScape[/I] is "recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's largest and most-updated free MMORPG" with over 200 million accounts. [ATTACH type="full" alt="38C93FDF-AFE1-440D-880E-1A5272A944ED.jpeg"]150621[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://steamforged.com/blogs/brands/runescape-tabletop-games-announced[/URL] [callout][I]RuneScape,[/I] one of the most popular and longest-running online role-playing video game franchises for PC, MAC, and mobile, is coming to tabletop gaming with two brand new games launching later this year. Jagex, the leader in developing and publishing deep, community-driven video games and home to [I]RuneScape[/I], has teamed up with tabletop-gaming powerhouse, Steamforged Games, to create both a board game and tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) core book inspired by RuneScape’s rich fantasy world of Gielinor. Both games will make their debut in 2022, with the board game launching on Kickstarter and the TTRPG heading straight to stores. Both games are set to delight [I]RuneScape[/I] and [I]Old School RuneScape’s [/I]player communities with fresh-but-faithful adaptations of classic quests and characters that weave iconic elements of the games into exciting tactile experiences reimagined for tabletop gaming. The games will draw on adventures, characters, and locations from across RuneScape’s rich 21-year long history, with the board game taking between one to five players on quest-based campaigns through Gielinor. They will craft and upgrade equipment, upskill their characters, cook special recipes, engage with NPCs, and test their skills while exploring different regions of the world, with a variety of enticing side quests to distract and entertain them on the way. The TTRPG will consist of a lavishly illustrated, hardback core book containing rules for players to run a [I]RuneScape [/I]tabletop roleplaying game, in which they can build their own characters, explore Gielinor, and create unique and exciting quests. The TTRPG core book is also fully compatible with the fifth edition ruleset of the world’s favourite roleplaying tabletop game. The [I]RuneScape[/I] games will mark Steamforged’s twelfth adaptation of a video game for tabletop. Past adaptations have included the [I]Monster Hunter: World[/I] board game, which grossed £3.4million on Kickstarter in 2021. [/callout] [/QUOTE]
