A DISHONORED Tabletop RPG is on Its Way
Modiphius has made a pretty big announcement for tabletop RPG fans. They have teamed up with Arkane Studios to create Dishonored: The Roleplaying Game based on the latter’s successful series of video games. This new RPG will use Modiphius’ 2d20 system and is being developed by Nathan Dowdell.
“Award-winning rules developer Nathan Dowdell (Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, Star Trek Adventures) has been adapting the 2d20 System for Dishonored, focusing on fast-paced storytelling and showcasing the strange powers of the Void and the ever-present Chaos mechanics — all under the banner of the new Momentum System. Modiphius assembled a team of talented creatives, led by Federico Sohns (Nibiru RPG), to bring the essence of Dishonored’s universe to the tabletop.”
The game will feature a hardcover book spanning 300 pages that will introduce players to the 2d20 system, the Empire of the Isles, a mini-campaign titled “The Oil Trail,” and of course information about being protagonists in the story.
“The Dishonored roleplaying game will be released in a deluxe table-friendly hardcover digest book containing everything players will need to jump straight into the streets of Dunwall, with a comprehensive guide to storytelling in the isles and a series of adventures that will take them on a journey of drama, intrigue, deception and occultism. Along with the book’s release, there will be custom dice, cards, and other accessories to add to the experience.”
I’ve heard incredible things about the Dishonored games, so I’m intrigued by the prospect of a new TTRPG set in that world. Dishonored: The RPG is set to release Summer 2020.
