From Buy OSRS Gold giving players the old-fashioned 2006 experience and the short-lived DarkScape providing players with a more PvP-based gaming experience. Developer Jagex has teamed up with board game creator Steamforged Games to release not only one, but two tabletop games over the course of 2022.
Steamforged Games’ partnership and Jagex is the most recent in a long string cooperations that brings some of the most popular gaming franchises into a tabletop. The tabletop gaming company has also created board games based on the series such as Monster Hunter World and Dark Souls and has recently concluded the most successful Kickstarter campaign for a Resident Evil 2 board game that raised more than 1 million GBP in the first quarter of this year.
Now, the developer has set its sights on Gielinor’s world as well as RuneScape and plans to launch both a board game as well as a core book for the tabletop RPG in the year ahead. The two RPG adaptations will feature many of the most well-known characters from RuneScape and locations, allowing a group of five or more players to compete against classic quests that are part of RuneScape with the adventures in The world of Gielinor home.
Players will be able to design and upgrade equipment, communicate with NPCs as well as take on a variety of side quests that are influenced in the traditional MMORPG. The board game will go live by means of an Kickstarter campaign later in the year, while the tabletop RPG book is expected to go on sale immediately.
The essential book for tabletop RPGs is notably compatible with the massive tabletop RPG Dungeons and Dragons’ fifth edition core books, which will allow dungeonmasters to seamlessly incorporate elements from RuneScape into their campaigns.
Jagex the CEO Phil Mansell was optimistic about the project expressing his enthusiasm regarding his enthusiasm for the Kickstarter idea “involving the RuneScape groups,” in addition, Steamforged CCO Mat Hart believed the “rich RuneScape universe will translate beautifully” into a tabletop world.
RuneScape has seen a significant expansion from its browser-based origins over the past few years, with Steamforged’s boardgame being the latest effort by Jagex. In an interview, multiple Jagex employees discussed the possibility of transforming Runescape’s mobile version to an all-platform game this past September.
