"World of Eragon TTRPG"

[epistler]

 Well it's now two weeks into 2025. Still no "big announcement" about the alleged TV series, though there is plenty of inane blather about which actor would be "perfect" to play Roran. Who else wants to bet that no self-respecting mainstream actor would ever agree to play any of those characters? Methinks if the TV show actually happens the cast will be made up of has-beens, never-weres, and never-will-bes. Plus maybe one of those older British actors who always says yes to everything. (They're called journeyman actors - Michael Caine is a famous example, or was until he became Christopher Nolan's go-to guy).

Anyway, instead of a TV series our guy is now talking about... a TTRPG and is asking fans to help "expand on the world-building". That he supposedly already did himself. 

I'll just drop some of the text here for further discussion.

ChristopherPaolini: Theoretically, if I were working on an Eragon-themed TTRPG handbook, what topics would ya'll like to see expanded on and/or explored that I didn't necessarily go into depth in
during the main IC?

NOTE: topics only, please. For legal and creative reasons, I'm not looking for ideas for HOW to explore said topics, just the topics themselves. Think, chapter or sub-chapter headings.

I have a number of ideas myself, but I figured it was worth checking with the community. This is a one-time opportunity to expand on the lore and worldbuilding, and I want to make the most of it.

...

Theoretically, of course. :D

 

I see that “become less insufferable” was not one of his new year’s resolutions.

Ibid-11962: Might be nice to see an official timeline for the world, something more in depth and detailed than Domia Abr Wyrda. Also a precise timeline of the IC, especially of the Inheritance ending.

 

Yeah… that’s not possible. At all.  

I'll leave you to have a further look if you're interested a this doesn't really warrant a full on spork. But who wants to bet this is another "exciting" project that doesn't go anywhere?

The longest human pregnancy ever recorded was 375 days, or one year and 10 days, but that required modern medicine and wouldn't have been percieved as anything other than an ordinary pregnancy without things like hormone tests and ultrasounds.

Elain's pregnancy was about the same length, if a few days shorter, and without modern medical knowledge and ob/gyn technology.

And yet SOMEHOW she and the baby didn't, y'know, die.
