"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?

Well, I just counted up the days from the time that Elain is stated to be six months pregnant, and, being quite generous, I reach eighty days. Let me say that she's nearly seven months pregnant when that's said, and she'd end up being about 9,5 months pregnant by the time she gives birth.

Sure, there's the timeskip between Brisingr and Inheritance, but that should be a bit over two months between attacking Feinster and Belatona, which would be ridiculously long compared to the time between Belatona and Dras-Leona, for example.
