deeper (and more varied) exploration of the settings introduced by the board game originals. Definitely interested in more of the same if other suitable board games were given a similar treatment. Any thoughts as to possible candidates?

Something based on the totally delightful Moon Colony Bloodbath would be super fun.

I once made an entire TTRPG system based off CandyLand. With the different kingdoms, factions, etc. but none of my edgelord friends ever wanted to play it. 🤷♂️

Please can I have a copy?

I'd have to rewrite it all from scratch, it was from so long ago. A tremendous amount of implied world building from the box art and the game board. I hear they even have an updated version with a spinner, not a predetermined card pull.

Well I was hoping for scans. I would have played that. Still awesome you did it!

Scythe is my immediate thought

Some years back there was talk of the same - when news went dead I contacted Stonemaier - & got the reply that Jamie had decided they were out of their depth Re:Rpgs (they didn’t play them), and hence decided to drop the idea.

I wonder if a good RPG designer could be nudged into acquiring the licence...

In years gone by I’d have said ‘one can hope’ — these days I just glance at my pile of untangled games

Oh lord yes, why is there not a TTRPG of Scythe? That would be amazing.

There almost was, but then I realized I knew nothing about TTRPGs (design quality or distribution). :) Jakub considered it as well but has so far focused his creative time elsewhere. Also, I loved Shroud!

Thank you! And I’d play the hell out of a ttrpg should you and Jakub ever decide to partner up with someone to make it :)

Arcs would be another candidate from the same stable.

Absolutely. I can see Oath making a good game too. Very weird world there.

There is a deep adaptation of Tidal Blades (1 & 2) done in the Cypher System that is worth checking out.

Also, gloomhaven/frosthaven RPG is on the way.

Lords of Xidit/Seasons. I'd buy a sourcebook for the art alone, but the setting is perfect for a low-stress adventure. Whimsy with a bit of darkness hiding in the corners, it'd be a blast.
