An Elder Scrolls Tabletop...?

Post » Mon Apr 07, 2014 10:05 pm

I am a game design student who is a long time fan of The Elder Scrolls, and also of Tabletop RPGs. I have yet to find a suitable set of rules for a tabletop set in the Elder Scrolls World. That being said I've decided to make one myself as my education and such has, hopefully, given me the proper set of skills in which to do so effectively. Please understand that this would not, in any way shape or form, be an official product of Bethesda or any of the companies involved in the making of the Elder Scrolls video games. It would simply be a set of Mechanics based on the Skills, Abilities, weapons, etc. from the Elder Scrolls World, and perhaps with a helpful packet of Lore to help Game-Masters (GM's) in providing an adventure for the players. I was just wondering if any of the Fans of the Series would be willing to play this type of game if I were to create it, and if they would be willing to offer feedback on the games need for improvement. And If your reading this Bethesda or anyone representative of the company, I would love to speak to you about this as well, as I really don't want to infringe upon any copyright laws...

You probably would anyway.

To answer your question, this kind of game would require playing with other people around a table, or any flat surface; to me Elder Scrolls games being pretty much a solitary, and somehow forbidden, experience, I wouldn't play it. Sorry! :smile:

Anyway, Bethesda may be interested (why not?). You should contact them directly instead of asking here.
