Fans Can Playtest TALES OF XADIA: THE DRAGON PRINCE ROLEPLAYING GAME This Week
The Dragon Prince is a pretty cool Netflix series from Wonderstorm, and later this year, Wonderstorm and Fandom will be launching Tales of Xadia: The Dragon Prince Roleplaying Game. Well, starting February 9, fans can check out the game via playtest material for absolutely free. All you need to do is go sign up for the Tales of Xadia newsletter. Once you’ve accessed it, you can then provide your feedback and help shape the final game which will release at some point later this year.
Tales of Xadia will take players to the rich and diverse fantasy world of The Dragon Prince and uses the Cortex rules system. I’m not very familiar with this rules set, but I’m interested to learn it and excited to explore something outside of 5E. Also, I’m not sure if I want to be a Sun Elf or just an awesome Human like Amaya.
Based on the award-winning Cortex rules system, players’ stories come to life around the game table where they can forge alliances, uncover secrets, engage in mighty battles, and protect those they love from peril and prophecy. Players accomplish feats of might, mind, or magic that impact the story by rolling different types of dice depending on level of expertise with specific traits. Players can play as elves connected to the primal sources of magic or as a member of the Human Kingdoms, customize their traits and special abilities, define values that motivate their characters, and track everything with digital support during play.
Talking about the game, Adam Bradford of Fandom said:
Our goal with Tales of Xadia is to authentically capture the unique feel, expansive world, and epic stakes of The Dragon Prince. As we enter the public playtesting phase, we’re excited for fans to see the game in action, experience a thrilling original story, and share their feedback that will help us finalize the game for the full release later this year.
The co-creators of The Dragon Prince, Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond, said:
We are excited for The Dragon Prince community to explore the world of Xadia in a totally new way as they test out Tales of Xadia with their friends and family. This game has the same rich world-building and epic stories that fans of the show have come to know, but it’s all driven by you this time! We can't wait to hear about your own adventures and escapades through Xadia.
How pumped are you to have your own adventures in Xadia?
