Why EVERY IP Suddenly Wants a TTRPG (Didn’t We Just Do This with Board Games？!) - Error Code Show

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.099
week, we talked about how stupid and crazy tabletop

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:06.080
games are in general. No, I'm just kidding. Not

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.240
tabletop games in general. And we just got canceled.

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:14.019
But no, we talked about what was that tabletop

00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:15.660
game that we talked about? It was Assassin's

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:19.019
Creed, the board game. Yeah. Why is everything

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:23.300
got to be a board game? Dumb. So dumb. So anyways,

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.260
when I was looking for topic ideas for tonight's

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:29.059
show and I was like, what is there? What is there?

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.179
That's not depressing. I came across these like

00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:38.859
three tabletop games that I'm saying are rumors

00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:42.700
and because I did not see like from an accredited

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:50.200
source. Okay. So we have attack on Titan RPG.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.700
Table top RPG. This was supposedly revealed at

00:00:55.700 --> 00:01:00.359
Gen Con this year. Then we have Marvel Tabletop

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.980
RPG Adventure Marvel Rivals. This is supposed

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:09.659
to be released March 2026. And then we have Diablo

00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:14.780
Tabletop RPG Incoming Diablo. That's supposed

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:17.859
to be on Kickstarter later this fall. And I was

00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:23.959
like, oh my tabletops. That's a lot. And why

00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.030
does everything have to be a tabletop? I think

00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:31.349
Alex is currently trying to fact check and look.

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:33.620
to see if there's any sort of credibility to

00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:36.280
these. So there is some credibility to these.

00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.319
Yeah. Polygon's got the Attack on Titan tabletop

00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.819
RPG now confirmed to release the yet unnamed

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:45.420
game. Final unnamed. Well, our fans and players

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:47.560
to step into the dramatic quarrel created by

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.799
Hajime Isayama for his award winning manga. So

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.719
that one is absolutely 100 percent real. I could

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.939
have sworn there was already a Diablo TTRPG at

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:07.090
one point. Yep, it's that is happening Yep gates

00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:11.810
of hell opens in 22. Yep This is happening that

00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:15.449
Diablo one Actually, that looks kind of neat.

00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:18.909
So let's bring up that view. This is the Diablo

00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:24.590
tabletop RPG Look, I mean that's some cool -looking

00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:30.250
minis. That's now I'll tell you right now this

00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:35.400
kind of licensed stuff So, who makes Twilight

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:41.599
2000? It's Free League. Free League Publishing

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.500
does a lot of these, right? They do a crap ton

00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:47.680
of these, these games. If you look at Free League

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.599
Publishing, they do the alien role playing game,

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.199
Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, Walking Dead.

00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:01.319
They've done these for a while. Look, did I say

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.180
T .T .R., but you're not. Yes, that's what Jay

00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:14.780
said. Yeah, I. I don't know. Yeah. Marvel rivals

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:17.199
just play the freaking video again, it's even

00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.020
free. Diablo, I don't know why you would just

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:27.069
not play Diablo like actual Diablo. Attack on

00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:29.110
Titan, I could kind of I don't know. I could

00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:35.289
kind of see that. But like everything, everything

00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:39.629
has to be some sort of game. I I don't know that

00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:42.990
what the the their mind from a business standpoint,

00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:45.530
I understand. Right. Let's get a really recognizable

00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:48.849
IP and try and bring people in and get them to

00:03:48.849 --> 00:03:53.650
do this stuff. I get it. I absolutely do. I just

00:03:53.650 --> 00:03:56.889
to me, it's never really appealed to me to play

00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:00.909
inside someone else's sandbox like this, especially

00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:03.770
something with like a set cannon. The only exception

00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:08.409
to this rule for me is the Teenage Mutant Ninja

00:04:08.409 --> 00:04:13.270
Turtle tabletop RPG. TMNT was awesome. And I

00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:16.209
liked playing with mutant animal Ninja Turtles.

00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:24.310
Yeah, I mean, that that checks. I have an idea,

00:04:25.089 --> 00:04:31.089
Alex. Get to 5000 subs. We should come out with

00:04:31.089 --> 00:04:34.449
our own board game. No, no, no. I mean, like

00:04:34.449 --> 00:04:37.870
a podcast board game. No podcast board game.

00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:43.949
Oh, no, I was in that space for for far, far

00:04:43.949 --> 00:04:47.649
too long. It drives me absolutely up the wall.

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:50.949
I'll tell you, there's almost nothing that could

00:04:50.949 --> 00:04:55.529
make me go back. to tabletop publishing under

00:04:55.529 --> 00:04:58.310
any circumstances. And again, I respect to be

00:04:58.310 --> 00:05:01.310
able to do it. I love tabletop RPGs. I love board

00:05:01.310 --> 00:05:05.550
games. But this is it's. Most of the time, it's

00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:08.730
a money grab. Yeah. And I mean, that's what this

00:05:08.730 --> 00:05:10.930
would be. It would be a money grab. But you could

00:05:10.930 --> 00:05:18.300
play as Octokitty. Yeah, playing as Octokitty

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:20.180
would be great. We would have to come up with

00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:22.800
some more characters, I think. I don't know who

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.879
we would do, but we'd have to have more characters

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.240
in our board game than you, me, and Octokitty.

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.699
Somebody in the chat says we met the Star Wars

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:33.800
tabletop RPGs. Again, exception, not the rule.

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.540
I think that's the exception that proves the

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:41.540
rule. Yeah, I'm generally against licensed IP

00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:44.459
in tabletop RPGs. Give me something original.

00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:50.629
That's very true. Yeah Teenage Mutant Octokitty

00:05:50.629 --> 00:05:56.490
What if like I don't know you could create a

00:05:56.490 --> 00:05:59.269
whole backstory of octokitty like how I don't

00:05:59.269 --> 00:06:02.629
know the cracking came to Seattle and an octokitty

00:06:02.629 --> 00:06:08.569
like it was from a very old clan of octokitties

00:06:08.569 --> 00:06:12.699
and then Its home was ravaged by the Kraken and

00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:14.720
then like Octokitty washed up on the Seattle

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.980
shore. Much like the feet. The feet that are

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.939
in the shoes. There you go. Octokitty washed

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:24.540
up on shore. Did Octokitty eat the people? I

00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:28.220
don't know. I'm not saying no. All right, so

00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:31.259
let's end this segment with this. If you could

00:06:31.259 --> 00:06:34.319
do a licensed RPG, like either create it or play

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.819
it, right? If you were like, this is the one

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:40.220
where I would do it. Which one would it be? Right?

00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.660
What IP would you want to play? Yeah, let me

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:51.660
think about this. Dank. What? Yeah, let me let

00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:58.060
me think about this. Trying to think of something

00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:14.949
super cringe. I don't know. I think. Uh I think

00:07:14.949 --> 00:07:18.230
I think Dragon Ball Z might be fun. I don't know

00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:21.009
if that already exists. That one does already

00:07:21.009 --> 00:07:23.370
exist. It does. Somebody made that a long time

00:07:23.370 --> 00:07:27.170
ago. Uh yeah and somebody in the chat's gotta

00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:30.870
bring up a lot of them have been done. Uh a lot

00:07:30.870 --> 00:07:35.250
of them they've been done before. I get it. You

00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:41.899
know, for me, I honestly got to go neon Genesis

00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:49.319
Evangelion. That is a really good one. That that

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.819
would be really cool. But you would have to somehow

00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:56.959
incorporate severe depression. Yes. In your case.

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.139
And disturbing imagery. OK. What do you think?

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.910
Is there any? Tell us down in the chat below.

00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:06.790
Is there any ips that you like? Do you think

00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:10.029
the ip craze for tabletop RPGs has just gone

00:08:10.029 --> 00:08:14.629
too fucking far? Let us know what you think down

00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:19.230
in the comments below Okay With that first off

00:08:19.230 --> 00:08:20.730
i'm gonna i'm gonna grab this and actually this

00:08:20.730 --> 00:08:24.129
would be a good little mini topic Somebody brought

00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:26.709
up the rdj and ryan reynolds huge doomsday fight

00:08:26.709 --> 00:08:30.699
so I was following this story because I thought

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:32.320
it was interesting that apparently there was

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.559
a big blow up on the Avengers doomsday set between

00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.360
two major stars and it was causing all kinds

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.000
of problems on the set and the first the first

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.480
Rumors that came out was that it was Ryan Reynolds

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.080
and rdj right that Ryan Reynolds said something

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:55.549
stupid to rdj and rdj was like fu As you all

00:08:55.549 --> 00:08:57.230
know, I do watch the John Campion show. He's

00:08:57.230 --> 00:08:59.049
pretty well connected in there and other people

00:08:59.049 --> 00:09:02.370
have not broken this as well. That turned out

00:09:02.370 --> 00:09:05.649
not to be true. RDJ and Ryan Reynolds have never

00:09:05.649 --> 00:09:08.429
met in person as of when that event occurred.

00:09:08.970 --> 00:09:10.370
They've never actually been in the same room

00:09:10.370 --> 00:09:14.309
together. Both camps came out like, no, that

00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:16.750
wasn't what happened. Now, Campion was able to

00:09:16.750 --> 00:09:21.230
confirm there was a fight -ish on the Doomsday

00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:24.379
set. uh no confirmation as to who it was but

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:27.220
apparently there was a kerfuffle but it was squashed

00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:29.340
very quickly and everybody's you know happy and

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:32.320
back in their corners now but the ryan reynolds

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.139
and rdj thing turned out not to be true although

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:38.779
i did see and i would real quickly jay for your

00:09:38.779 --> 00:09:43.399
opinion on this does it shock you that immediately

00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.799
without confirmation everybody went it was ryan

00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:55.960
reynolds ryan reynolds is the asshole um I. I

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.220
wouldn't say asshole like, but I would say like

00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:00.700
it wouldn't surprise me at all that like Ryan

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:04.779
Reynolds would say something snarky that would

00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:10.120
start an argument, especially with anyone that's

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.559
in our current like, I don't know. Administration.

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.159
The funny. Yeah. Yeah. The funny part to me was

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.940
that everybody was like immediately went to Ryan

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:24.190
Reynolds and also. Like everybody came down on

00:10:24.190 --> 00:10:26.710
rdj's side. Everybody was like no rdj is the

00:10:26.710 --> 00:10:30.509
king of the mcu Screw you ryan. You're not gonna

00:10:30.509 --> 00:10:33.950
mess with iron man Yeah, I mean that's that's

00:10:33.950 --> 00:10:45.210
very true. Um Yeah You can't You can't really

00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:47.570
fuck with robber downey jr
