But I can’t think of a better way to bring in fans of the Dark Souls franchise to the art and craft of tabletop role-play.

There are a ton of new products coming out this year that rely on 5e rules, including one by D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast. And there are more players in the world familiar with using those 5th edition rules today than at any time in the history of the game.

And that’s just as it should be. Dark Souls: The Roleplaying Game is remarkably faithful to its source material, a grimdark and exhausting slog through oppressive and curious landscapes. It uses the guts of D&D not because it’s free and easy, but to make itself relatable — just as the video games use the visual and mechanical language of the action-RPG genre to create something that feels very different. The Dark Souls TTRPG elevates the most popular modern tabletop role-playing game, turning it into a common language that players of all experience levels can use to make sense of things at the table. The appropriately-titled Dice Souls puts this idea at the heart of its tabletop RPG spin on Dark Souls’ gameplay. The act of replaying sections of levels in Dark Souls becomes a clever ‘replay’ mechanic in Dice Souls, with players’ ability to overcome failed rolls and character death increasing as they face the same enemies time and time again.
