A Redditor known asladygrey94 created a tabletop role playing system forFinal Fantasy 14loosely based off of the 5th Edition ofDungeons & Dragonsthat allows gamers to tell stories in the world of the MMORPG. The system was built to be easy to use, with it being designed to allow flexibility and customization while requiring minimal die rolling. As characters gain levels, they gain points that allow them to purchase Attributes and Skills, and also gain HP, MP, and roll bonuses. Players can also increase their Resilience Rating, which can be compared to the Armor Class inD&D, with armor and abilities. The system only requires a D20 to resolve things, as combat actions deal set amounts of damage. It is a unique approach toFinal Fantasy 14and is simple enough for tabletop newcomers to try their hand at such a game.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
