The next videogame getting its own tabletop RPG is Diablo, an RPG that doesn’t have any RP in it

It used to be rare to see a videogame get directly translated into a tabletop RPG. There was Dragon Age and for some reason Street Fighter, but not much else. Now you can choose from a veritable smorgasbord of the things, with pen-and-paper versions of Fallout, Dishonored, Sunless Sea, Dark Souls, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Homeworld, and probably more I’ve never heard of floating around. Next up: Diablo.

Admittedly there was an official D&D setting based on Diablo 2 back in the day, and the fact it was specifically Diablo 2 tells you how long ago that was. The upcoming Diablo TTRPG will be more bespoke, with its own “custom d6 dice pool system” put together by a team of designers led by Joe LeFavi (of BladeRunner: The Roleplaying Game). Which is nice, because if you want D&D with the lights turned down you can just play Ravenloft.
