Has anyone else seen a new PnP RPG called Shattered Dawn yet? Most likely not.
Shattered Tabletop Games has taken a lot of liberties with the ESO concept. Don't know how that works but Zenimax or Bethesda may want to take a looky-loo at it.

I was meaning their "we have 3 'stats' Health, Stamina, Potency(magic)" They work 100% exactly as ESO does.
The similarities don't stop there.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Not sure the three stat attribute system is really covered by a copyright or trademark.
Skyrim wasn't the first to do it, depends how deep the consistency goes I guess.
I was half expecting they'd stolen the races or lore with the threads build up.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Not unique to ESO other games have used that setup over the years.0 -

Well, the races are pretty close, the racial abilities are near exactly the same.
50 levels. Who makes a tabletop rpg with 50 levels?

✭✭Might be more fun to take any AD&D type ruleset like GURPS, OSRIC etc and simply make a homebrew campaign with TES setting, lore, races etc. You might incorporate some similar concepts like shouts and specific spells etc, but it's not necessary to copy a video game combat system with crits, ability bar and so on. That would just distract from the overall roleplaying game experience IMO.Edited by IcyDeadPeople on April 27, 2017 7:11AM0 -

Well that depends on the systems and mechanics, especially in the PnP RPG scene. The only reason there is so much d20 is because of the OGL.ljb2k5_ESO wrote: »Game systems/mechanics cannot be copyrighted/trademarked, only specific names for things.
As I said in my other post it depends how many similarities there are. If they're making it exactly as Skyrim/ESO functions then there could be a case. If they just have 50 levels, and three attributes I don't think there is much of a case.
Then again this is Zenimax, they tried to file against Mojang for making a game called "Scrolls".@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver
