Blizzard’s dark fantasy ARPG series Diablo is getting the tabletop RPG treatment, and it promises to have players geared up and ready to hack and slash through armies of demons from “session zero.”
A Kickstarter campaign page for Diablo: The Roleplaying Game recently went live, and while the campaign won’t officially begin until this fall, it does provide some details on what players can expect from the TTRPG adaptation. The game comes from Glass Cannon, which has made board game versions of plenty of video games in the past, including Apex Legends.
As for how the TTRPG will try to capture the spirit of the Diablo video games, Glass Cannon name drops a few Diablo classes players will be able to play as, including Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer (the same classes available at launch in Diablo 4). More importantly, it gives a glimpse of how it is looking to adapt Diablo’s fast-and-frenetic ARPG action into a tabletop format.
