I just discovered Kobold Press’s Black Flag Role Playing system and Tales of the Valorant game being made. I had no idea that was a thing.
Added with the ones I did know about:
- Critical Role’s Daggerheart
- MCDM’s new RPG (Matt Colville’s company)
- And we can count the Pathfinder 2’s updates if we want
I wonder how many other RPG’s are being made as a result of that debacle.
It does seem like a lot. WotC really shot themselves in the foot spawning all this new competition, didn’t they?
Star wars is about sword-wielding space wizards, so it’s not exactly a force leap off from DnD
I would say they are closer to clerics both mechanically (with the spectrum of martial to magical subclasses) and flavorwise
You’re right, though paladins would make sense too. But Space Wizards is the idiomatic form.
