Tie-in Media
Movies, books, tabletop and more! What do you think about video game tie-in media?
There's a Diablo RPG coming to tabletop play and I'm so excited for it I have this twitch in my eye and my hands are just itching to roll dice to see how many times my Whirlwind attack hits the demons.
What’s the best tie-in media for a video game?
The subtitle to this post could just be and why is it Arcane because Arcane is one of, if not the, best video game tie-in stories I've ever seen Yes, even better than The Last Guardian, my previous favorite. The Last Guardian is one of the best novels ever set in a game world, which may not be a surprise as it features characters like Medivh and Khadgar and is written by Jeff Grubb, longtime AD&D designer and author of the Azure Bonds tie-in novel, which introduced Dragonbait the Saurial and yes I admit it I loved that book because it made dinosaur people canon in D&D.
How do you approach tie-in media for video games?
Do you read or watch tie-in media?
How do you prefer the lore of a game relate to the player experience? How much of it should come from outside the game itself?
Games approach their storytelling in different ways for different reasons.
