Group SNE author Hironori Kato has designed 'ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN TRPG,' a tabletop role-playing game adaptation of the 2025 video game. The TRPG uses 11 playing cards to represent the Limveld map, simplifies combat with Stamina Dice, and supports up to four players instead of the original's three. A pre-release trial session was held.
Group SNE author Hironori Kato has created a tabletop RPG version of 'ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN,' one year after the video game's release. The TRPG retains the original's character roster, including the Undertaker and Scholar from the 'The Forsaken Hollows' DLC, and offers two character sheet templates per class: a basic type matching the original's abilities and a special type with altered parameters. The map is built from 11 playing cards arranged in five columns, with events, strong enemies, merchants, and graces placed randomly. Combat uses Stamina Dice, rolled from a character's set number of six-sided dice, which players spend to activate weapons, skills, or magic. Enemy groups are represented by a single target with extra HP rather than multiple units. The party size is increased to four players, though the game is balanced for three.
