So I’ve got multiple choices to get to the top of my side of the story with my play style. But on my pyramid, I can go up the right, I can go up the left, I can go up the center. “Imagine you’re climbing the face of a six-sided pyramid,” Modiphius founder Chris Birch said in an interview, “and we’re all climbing towards the top one big finale. Each comes with its own unique set of powers and affinities, which in turn provide the game with its gameplay diversity.
Players take on the role of one of six characters, each one based on an iconic fantasy race from The Elder Scrolls series: Altmer, Dunmer, Imperial, Khajiit, Nord, and Orsimer. Skyrim - The Adventure Game is a tabletop experience for 1-4 players, who work together cooperatively in sessions that last between 90 and 120 minutes each. The final product, which is also destined for a retail release, could arrive with backers as early as next spring.
Skyrim - The Adventure Game will go up for pre-order Tuesday on the new Gamefound platform.
The game’s multiple narrative campaigns, its creators say, will offer new insights into Skyrim’s lore, including a prequel to the events of the video game. Modiphius Entertainment, maker of The Elder Scrolls miniatures game and Fallout tabletop games, will release The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - The Adventure Game in 2022, and Polygon has an exclusive preview. Skyrim is being ported to a new format: board games.
