Question

[(Anonymous)]

What's your favorite piece of entertainment that's based off of someone's roleplaying game?

My vote is Firefly

Re: Question

Dungeon Meshi

Re: Question

but if you think about every story is someone's roleplaying game

Re: Question

[(Anonymous)]

I read somewhere that the story that evolved into Highlander was initially inspired by Dungeons & Dragons or something similar (not, I think, someone's actual D&D quest but the concept of roll playing games). Highlander really bears no resemblance to D&D, at least as far I understand D&D, so that's not a connection I would have imagined.

Anyway, as long as we're only talking the first movie and the series, and maybe the spin-off with Amanda, then my answer is Highlander.

Ooh, I didn't know that. That's interesting, thanks. I loved the show. (Although I strangely got into it because friends of mine went to see the third movie and I joined them, which probably wasn't the best introduction to the franchise!)

Mine! :D My fantasy story (nearly done with book 1, whoo!) is based on roleplaying I did online as a pretty young kid. Playing out the stories, being different characters, imagining their relationships and reactions to different characters - I think it's the perfect basis for a story. I love my characters more than anything now, I've spent so long in their heads that they're real to me. Frankly, I think I'd rather read someone's roleplay-inspired fic, which is built on characters the author cares about, than some well-crafted story with a wooden, meaningless cast.

this sounds really fun!

The Elder Scrolls. Based off of Todd and his friends' DnD campaign.

Re: Question

[hamimi_fk]

Is this really how The Elder Scrolls came about? lol, I've been a fan since Morrowind and have been playing a lot of Skyrim in recent months. I recently realized I have a mighty need to try and learn how to play DnD because I've never played before. Now I can't help wonder if the two are related? xD

Re: Question

[soldatsasha]

Yep! In Arena and Battlespire the influence is a lot more obvious. They're very 'generic fantasy' type games. With Morrowind they really pushed to move Tamriel away from DnD and into an interesting original setting, mostly by expanding the lore a lot and integrating a lot of eastern religion inspired concepts, and coming up with their own gameplay mechanics and classes and races and such. But you can still see it's origins in things like the dice-roll hit chance mechanics.

A lot of the deeper lore of the series also touches on it, with stuff like CHIM, the Dreamer and Godhead, Kalpas, the Many-Headed Talos, the Prisoner... That stuff can all be interpreted as an in-universe thing, or through out-of-universe meta concepts (the classic "The Godhead is the console, the Scrolls are the game disk, the Prisoner has agency against the prophesies because they are the player, CHIM is console commands" thing).
