wesnoth rpg
ok, so i dont know if this is gonna sound appealing to anyone , and i dont even know if it belongs to this forum, but i recently got into that whole d&d style of game, where you think of a character and imagine what they would do in a fictional world (its more complicated that this but im assuming most of you are at least somewhat familiar with the concept), i downloaded "dnd beyond" ive been reading through the rules and building characters and i keep wanting for there to be a tBfW version of this, i notice that the vocabulary can be sort of similar sometimes, even leading me to believe that wesnoth was somewhat inspired by d&d, an example that comes to mind is the alingments lawful, chaotic and neutral, but i have found more similarities before (some more about the logic of the game). i think taking the gameplay and rules of d&d and writing in the races, locations and general lore of wesnoth could be really fun (and hopefully not that hard), and it migth just be my social circles but im lead to believe that d&d is kind of booming rigth now, at least on youtube i see a lot of people playing the game and getting a big enough audience to make straming shows of their campaigns. i think if we had a tabletop rpg channels like "critical role" or "dimension 20" could be interested in playing it, and a manual could be sold creating revenue for tBfW.
so i guess the pitch is to anyone who is also interested on the proyect, i thought the writters forum could be a good start, given that we would have to organize and complement all the existing lore of the game. also we would need game design skills, deciding wich traits make sense for each race and wich classes to make avialabe and how they work, as well as balancing other aspects of the game.
its kind of compicated but we can use other RPGs as a blueprint.
i hope other people are interested on this too, it could be a lot of fun and attract more people to the game.

Though it's not D&D, there's https://diceystories.com/ you could take a look at.

Re: wesnoth rpg

Re: wesnoth rpg

(i think this could turn into a thread in the "forum games" forum or the discord server if we could developh this proyect)

Re: wesnoth rpg
Around the start of this year, there was a big argument about licensing, because the owners of D&D were trying to retroactively change the license of older versions of D&D, affecting the rights to add-ons or campaigns written using that old license. There's a few alternative systems similar to D&D, so personally I'd avoid choosing the one that has its licensing controlled by WOTC.
