FFXIV: The TTRPG

[RitsukoSonoda]

Didn't look at it in detail. Is the system used pretty much the same as D&D and Pathfinder? Because I have this old sourcebook titled "The Book of Erotic Fantasy" I could unleash on Eorzea... >.>

Given that the starter set includes 6 d20s and 10 d6s, it's not a carbon copy of D&D systems. So, somewhat appropriately, if you wanted to use that particular sin against creation in XIV, you'd have to mod it.

you'd have to mod it.

This is the SE Police! You're going to the Gaol!

Challenge accepted. Time to add more pages to that book of stuff I'm not allowed to do anymore in various tabletop RPG games in my group... >.>

And here I thought the RP players would be leaping at the opportunity to turn their story rewrites and bespoke fantasies into actual (tabletop) gameplay. Ah well, guess the infinite potential of tabletop games to cater to bespoke fantasies still isn't enough if it's not part of the MMO... and I made a misjudgment of them being fellow tabletop game enjoyers...

Anyway, given SE has never produced a tabletop game before I'm currently operating on the assumption it was not developed in-house, which would mean it was developed by a third party and likely licensed by SE. Heaven knows they need the money after XVI only turned out to be a modest success after all their stupid business moves and flops (NFTs, "Games as a Service," Marvel's The Avengers, Forspoken, and to a lesser degree XV). We don't know one way or another at the moment though, so "They should be catering to my bespoke fantasies in-game, not developing a tabletop game" is... not even wrong.

So they announced a TTRPG version of the game today...

Anybody else hyped? I want to know if GNB is going to be available in the base or if we're going to need a splatbook for that.

Eagerly awaiting details!

i'm actually interested in the system they are using. Right now my group is playing the One Ring RPG i actually really like that system and prefer it over 5e to be honest. I know there's a 5e edition for that too but that's just weird. I will have to have a look at this one before i buy it.

Currently running 5e...

Totes truthsies, whether or not I pick up the system is dependent on whether or not my whole group does, and whether or not it addresses the balance issues between martials and casters. Ideally the Armory System will be included in some capacity so you aren't locked into a single class and can change up your party makeup on the fly to adapt to different situations, but I really hope there's some effort to keep casters and martials in relative parity.

Of course, even if they do so, TTRPGers are infamous for hating any effort to keep casters in check, so who knows.

Really though, as just a system you could use it for anything. Even not on Etheirys.

[Veritas-Ancora]

Has anyone made a Google Sheets version of the character sheet? That would help immensely. My game arrived today.

[Exmo]

Has anyone tried it out yet?
What did you think of it?

5 Years ago i would have been excited to bits. Now i follow FFXIV news so scarcely that i didn't know this is a thing till i read the Forum post.
