TTRPGs, a collaborative form of role-playing gaming, originated with Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. Since then, game designers have continuously crafted diverse systems, enabling players to weave a myriad of tales. Notable examples include CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, inspired by Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk TTRPG from 1988, and the immensely popular RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, directly influenced by Dungeons & Dragons.
Remarkably, fans have been creating homemade tabletop adaptations inspired by the Final Fantasy universe for years. From Emanuele Galletto’s Fabula Ultima to the ambitious Final Fantasy 14 x Dungeons & Dragons project, imaginative storytellers have provided JRPG-inspired tabletop experiences to a dedicated fan base.
