The Witcher gets paper rpg

Developer CD Projekt Red announces a pen-and-paper RPG based on the world of their own The Witcher series. The game is made by R.Talsorian Games and will be released in mid-2016. The game uses the Fuzion rules.

“The Witcher Role-Playing Game allows players to choose from a variety of characters from the The Witcher universe and experience all-new adventures in the world of Geralt of Rivia,” said CD Projekt Red, announcing the pen-and- paper rpg. The Polish studio is making the paper RPG together with R.Talsorian Games, which is known for the classic paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020. The new RPG will therefore use the same ruleset as in the Cyberpunk game, the Fuzion ruleset.

Players can use in-game spells, rituals and curses from the game, as well as weapons and equipment from the various games in the series. This allows players to compete against ‘devil monsters’. The paper RPG should be released in mid-2016. The price is not known yet. It’s not the game’s first spin-off. Fantasy Flight Games previously released The Witcher Adventure Game, a board game based on the games from CD Projekt Red.
