Role-playing Game
TES Pen & Paper Role-playing Game
Community Project
The Elder Scrolls is a video game series inspired by Pen & Paper roleplaying games (PnP RPGs), such as Dungeons & Dragons. The aim of this project is to take the rules we are presented with in the existing games, and convert them into an enjoyable tabletop system.
This is not a simple adaptation for an existing tabletop system, but an attempt at creating a true TES PnP RPG.
The final aim is to compile a complete book of rules to a professional (or near-professional) standard.
Well that's the opening brief. I did make a nice little PDF presentation poster, but got impatient and figured I can just throw all the information in the OP. And though I'm not quite sure this is the place I should be posting this topic, it seems the most appropriate.
What I hope to do, is rally enough members of the community to create (at least) a small team, so that we may work on a true and complete TES PnP RPG.
The final product will be in the form of a free (this is a fan effort, for the community, not a business) PDF book, covering the rules, Game Mastering, a bestiary, and lore.
-And with a clear first things first, any interest?
-Second, deciding the core mechanic. I'd like to suggest the percentile dice rolling method.
For those who don't know what that is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_notation#Percentile_dice_.28d.25.29
Though being a community project, everything is up for discussion.
