[QUOTE="Eilathen, post: 9525909, member: 51843"] I know the 5e Fan adaption to Arcane or LoL...but I'd like a tailormade RPG system for it. And the official weight behind it. Yeah, it's a bit sad for us gamers if that's the case with Erikson/Esslemont. I mean they are both gamers themselves, so they should be able to tell that there is not much money in it. And the whole "doesn't want to give up control" ... I don't buy it. He could be very specific with what he allows and he could also set a "not after this date in-world" or some such. Sure, a RPG company might then say "no, thanks", but that's the risk he takes. I would not be interested in a cRPG at all, I don't play them. You know, the funny thing is, I think Scott would be extremely open to a RPG. I talked to him about it. Granted, it was several years ago. But he liked the idea and he even told me he'd want his brother involved in the project. It didn't pan out back then (mainly because Scott didn't have the time). But if he is still in the same head-space regarding RPGs, a company might find it pretty easy to negotiate something. I mean Scott was a big roleplayer himself, as the story goes...and they played in Earwa. Granted, the setting is pretty bleak and dark. But it is very rich. And you could easily set the RPG before the novels, where it is still much more open (and a rpg book could lay out how to go from light grey to super extreme black, easily, so there could be nuance).
