CD Project Red and R. Talsorian Games Announced The Witcher Role-Playing Game

CD Project Red. Mr. Mike Cyberpunk Pondsmith oder besser gesagt seine Firma R. Talsorian Games kehrt mit einem BANG zurück auf das Tischrollenspiel-Parkett. Zusammen mit dem polnischen Hersteller des gleichnamigen Computer-Rollenspielhits werden sie eine Pen & Paper-Adaption der Welt des Hexers Geralts entwickeln und voraussichtlich Mitte 2016 veröffentlichen.

„Together with R.Talsorian Games, makers of the hit pen and paper role-playing system Cyberpunk 2020, we are pleased to announce an agreement to develop The Witcher Role-Playing Game — the go-to tabletop Witcher experience for pen and paper RPG enthusiasts.

 

The Witcher Role-Playing Game will allow tabletop RPG fans to re-create an array of characters known from the Witcher universe and live out entirely new adventures set within the world of Geralt of Rivia. Powered by Fuzion, the same ruleset that made Cyberpunk 2020 gain worldwide player acclaim,

 

The Witcher Role-Playing Game will feature a myriad of spells, rituals, and curses; favorite gear and items from the entire Witcher series including a bestiary of devilish monsters players can face during their adventures. The system will provide all the necessary tools to create and play out your own adventures and become everything from a battle-hardened monster slayer to a merchant kingpin controlling a vast network of contacts.

 

The Witcher Role-Playing Game is currently slated for a mid 2016 release. More information about the system, price and availability will be provided at a later point in time.“
– CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher Role-Playing Game Announcement (30. July 2015)

Seltsamerweise wird in der Ankündigung davon gesprochen, dass Fuzion das Cyberpunk 2020-System sei. Ich dachte, der Dark Future-Klassiker nutzt den Interlock-Regelkern genauso wie das Mecha-Ding Mekton. Egal.

Auch wenn man über Cyberpunk 203X streiten kann, ein brauchbares The Witcher-Rollenspiel wäre ein Knaller, insbesondere nachdem Games Workshop die „gute“ Alte Welt mittlerweile erfolgreich abgehalftert hat. Damit zählt das szenisch recht ähnliche The Witcher Role-Playing Game sicherlich zu den spannenderen Szeneprojekten.
