Tabletop is an entertainment channel demonstrably showing the fun of actually playing these games.Of course there's a difference between covering other people's stuff and your own stuff. As I said, the RPG-centric edition could indeed be a different beast. There's no reason why it won't be. It would make a lot of sense for it to be that different beast. Board games are discrete "play & put away" type games. Less so for RPGs.The fact that they're talking to game designers (pick your darlings) about the system they're going to use suggests they're not just going to use an off the shelf system.As TrippyHippy suggested it's likely to be rules light to keep it quick. With financial investment they can easily do animated intercuts to cover less exciting parts (as per PAX intros) if they wanted.The advantages of doing your own roleplaying system continue. RPGs are a lot cheaper and quicker to produce than doing your own board game. Sell the PDF of your new RPG while the show's on to get maximum capitalisation out of the the passing interest.</blockquote>
