Default Tabletop Guild Wars

Would anyone have an interest in such a thing? I know I enjoy tabletop games as well as computer games, and if there were a dice and paper version of Guild Wars I would definitely give it a shot. I could see it converting into a card game pretty easily, seeing as you could equate "builds" with a "deck".

From what I've heard the WoW CCG is wildly popular, but that's no surprise I guess.

Hell yeah.

But I'm a big tabletop RP fan. I think GW could be converted to that sort of thing pretty well, too. If I was better with system design things, I'd probably work out a way to do so myself.

Sure.....though I'm not sure how it will work. WoW has a RTS game and some of the Tabletops are based on that instead.

Would be very cool. Really wouldn't be that hard to make some house rules. Just rename a few things from an existing system and start using GW lore for campaigns.

You don't even have to carry over the skill system at all really. I just think the lore is rich enough to allow for some seriously creative dungeon crawls and quests.

WoW is based on the Warcraft RTS games, which first started in 1994. WoW would not exist if not for the RTS games (of which there is more than one).

iirc wasn't GW loosely based around MtG as opposed to DnD like a lot of other MMO's? Try that perhaps, it's fun.

I would agree with that, and it's not like that would be an uncommon thing to do. How many times have we seen games(computer based or not) based off books series, tv shows, movies, etc.?

I could see something like this spring up out of the community. It would definitely be an interesting project for some GW fans out there with more time on their hands than I.

I dont really see much of a point to this though :P if you enjoy it okay for you... but why sit at a table when you can just sit infront of the computer and play?

Because playing a video game and playing a tabletop RP are two completely and totally different things...

Quoted for truth.

I'm in a tabletop game with friends right now, two of who play GW as well - and we enjoy both types.
