Just finished The Wheel of Time books, where is my new RPG?

[DarkCrisis]

The whole last book made me an emotional wreck but man, what a good ending.

Now I want to run/play a WoT RPG.

Yes there is the old D20 one thats expensive to find and buy now (and frankly bleh 3rd ed again).

Has some company shown interest in making a new one? Come on! Take my money!

I assume its impossible unless you have the rights to WoT.

I felt the same way after finishing the very last Shannara book.

This is interesting to think about. Having watched the Amazon show I think there is some additional influence so I wonder if there are license issues. I don't think there will ever be as much interest in the future, so I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't either planned a 5E adaptation or tried something with PbtA.

I still have the 3e version of WoT. Never played it - seemed a little clunky. Would love to see a new version.

I just wikipediaed it because I didn't know about it. There's an unhealthy amount of books in that series. Did you read all of them?

I don't think a D&D style game works great for WoT, considering the vast power differential between channelers and non-channelers. (Although the WoT casting system in the 3E era book was actually pretty well done.) Something Cortex-based might work better.

Probably need the Amazon series to take off for a new RPG to get made. Not for me, but I fully support the bespoke market!

Yep. But to be fair, I started in 1991.

I attempted to run a WoT style D&D game back in the early 1990s, it was when I finally discovered the truth that D&D was its own animal and didn't work well for a majority of the fantasy settings I was familiar with. I did own the d20 WoT game, and, well, it's not very good. I didn't even play it.
